J.,, May 1—A 71 vearold woman, who once was & “bound child” in Pennsylvania, and her 41-year-old son, a motorman, were | told at their $20 a month home today that they are apparently heirs to part of a fortune believed to total $32,000, 000. The woman Is Mrs. Amanda Mosher Layton Willlams and her son is Joseph Layton. Chief of Police Walper brought them a letter from a relative, Mrs. Mosher Garre of Racine, Wis., ask ing him to locate them as heirs to part of the estate of Ezekial Mosher of England, uncle of Mrs. Williams. Search of ancfent records revealed that the “Mosher estate” of England was founded a century ago by vari- ous members of the family, which was of poor origin. Some of the original Moshers went into East Indian trad- ing and much of the money they left has remained in banks since, drawing interest. About 20 years ago, search was started for heirs to the estate, and some 500 persons from various parts of tho country put in clalms. Since then the number has dwindled, and it is understood much of the estate has been distributed. What part Mrs. Willlams and her son will receive is not known. There has been con siderable court action at times. Mrs. Willlams is unable to account for the fact that she was “bound out” by the State of Pennsvlvania a child, except through the fact that her her, Orville, brother of | Ezekial, came to this country many | cears ago, probably before the fortune | was made, and perhaps was lost track | of. Records indicate that the orizinal fortune was founded by Hugh Mosher, and that Ezekial’s share was | |inherited. | SIDES AGAINST WIFE. Knocked Her Down as She Was| Fighting Other Woman, She Says.
