Exhumation Rumors Still Cloud Bingham Case
Louisville reports reveal a renewed push by Robert Worth Bingham and allies after an overnight statement from his counsel. It alleges the autopsy of Mrs. Bingham, formerly Mrs. Henry M. Flagler, led to organs being sent to New York before reinterment. The disclosure cites family approvals and hints the dispute over the death and a large estate will be decided by facts, not rumor. The estate is valued above 7.6 million dollars with a codicil leaving 5.6 million to Judge Bingham, likely to be contested. In Wilmington, NC, health official Nesbitt confirms a permit once granted for exhumation, withholding earlier details amid claims of possible crime.
