Jury Selected To Hear Welch Will Protest
In superior court Judge William G. Hall selected a jury to hear the Welch will protest over Ethel Rose Welch’s probate. Helen Lillian Welch and Arthur J. Welch contend the will is invalid due to its destruction and the existence of a later will. The case involves about $3,500 and could run two days. Tucson police Captain Roy Robinson testified about finding the will on September 13, 1941, in a desk in the murdered woman’s living room. The unsolved murder case remains open with investigators hindered by the landlady’s prior cleaning of the crime scene.
