The Hill Cryptogram and a California Fortune
Charles Hill dies in a Los Angeles hospital leaving a fortune of 140000 in a Union Bank of Savings safety box plus 2000 in cash. The public administrator retrieves the box and notes a mysterious tiny notebook called the Hill cryptogram detailing possible criminal ties. Hundreds of letters from hopeful relatives flood officials while California law directs the estate to remain with the administrator for seven years to find rightful heirs.
