The Moll Romance
Hon. L. B. Prince, formerly governor and
chief justice of New Mexico, is on az visit
here that involves a strange and romantic
story connected with the estate of the late
Samuel H. Moll, who died in this city. Some
twenty years ago Mol was a prominent
resident of Santa Fe, N. M. ;, and lived with
Mexican woman. A boy was born to the
couple, and in 1891 Moll removed to Silver
City and FL Paso, finally locating in San
Diego in 1885. The child was left In care

she refused to allow him to join his father
here. Prior to his death some two years
ago it is alleged that Moll executed a will,
in which he made substantial provision for
his son, but the will was never presented
for probate, and the estate was treated as
though he died intestate and also without
reference to the son. The estate was valued
at about $50 900, mostly in gilt-edge personal
property, and IN the distribution the major
part was given to Moll's father in Con-
necticut. The business passed into the
hands of nephew of the deceased. Only
recently the son and mother, who are living
in New Mexico, learned of MoIl's death,
and have engaged Ex-Governor Prince 10

property and to take such action as may
be necessary to restore 1t to its lawful
owner.
