Fortune linked nephew seeks Neumann estate in Milwaukee case
Wires from Willmar tracked Oswald Sommer, a 25 year old son of Neumann's sister, who may claim a $75,000 fortune from the late Milwaukee restaurateur. Milwaukee officers seek Sommer, described as roaming the U S and reportedly in Chicago recently, with St Paul friends unable to locate him. Local officials in Milwaukee appeal for any information about Sommer's whereabouts as Coroner Nahin asks for details on the heir.
