NOT THE RIGHT MAN.
William A. Thomas Not william
Anthony Thomas.

Ex-Judge Wsddill, OF counsel for Bette
Lewis IN her suit TO recover the bulk OF the
estate left by her father, William A. Thomas,
when shown the letter from Fredericksburg
published In yesterdays Dispatch, In which
IL was stated that Mr.. Thomas and two
sisters residing In that city thought the de.
ceased was their brother, said: That 10 all
a mistake. The william A. Thomas who
died here recently had neither brother nor
sister, and when the William Anthony
Thomas, referred to in the letter IS reported
as having been in California our man was
living here near Richmond"
Mr.. b. b. Muniord, Of counsel for the
heirs at law OF the deceased. repeated in
substance what was said by Judge Waddtll,
and added: "The gentleman who recently
died hero was named William Astin Thomas,
not William Anthony. His mother was q
Miss Astin, aud he was named after her.
think possibly the name was Austin, but the
family now spell IL Astin and 30 pronounce
it, From this 1t appears that the FredericksA
burg Thomascs will not be able TO prove
their kin.hip, and therefore will not fall heir
to any part OF the estate.
