BIBLE BRINGS MILLIONS
LONG MISSING FAMILY RECORDS
FOUND AMONG RUBBISH IN LOFT
Attorney Says by 1t the Claims
of the Case Heirs to Millions Can
Be Established - Involves Real
Estate in the Heart of CIeve-
land.

MIDDLETON, N. Y, April 19.-Un-
earthed among rubbish in the loft of an
old barn in Huron county, Ohio, where
it has been hidden from view for many
years, an ancient Bible bids fair to es-
tabIish the claims of many heirs to an
estate Of many millions.
According to the statement of NJ. J.
Durham, of this city, who has just re-
turned from two months trip through
the West and Northwest, in an eeffort to
locate the descendants of Absolam Case,
the vast estate of the late Leonard Case,
of Cleveland, Ohio, will eventually enrich
hundreds of his descendants, owing to
the discovery of the old Bible.
Estate Is Valued at Millions.
Leonard Case Sr. died in Cleveland in
1864, leaving one heir to his millions, a
son, Leonard Case Jr The latter, a
bachelor, died in 1880, leaving no will,
but property in the heart of Cleveland
valued at $4,000, eco, and ninety descend
ants of his fathers brothers and sisters,
covering five generations.
Two years ago Mr. Durham, who is q
descendant of Absolam Case and a half
brother Of Leonard Case Sr., quietly be-
gan the work of tracing and locating the
heirs. The estate consists chiefly of real
estate in the business center of Cleveland,
taking in the First National bank, the
the Cleveland & Pittsburg Railroad COM
pany, the Case School of Applied Science
and narrowly skips the residence of John
D. Rockefeller. 1t includes some fifteen
or twenty of~the largest manufacturing
establishments in the city.
Ever since the death of Leonard Case
Jr. the estate has been the theme Of legal
Investigations, but no satisfactory results
could be obtained because of the fact that
the old family Bible, containing certain
records, could not be found AS it con-
tanned the names of all the Cases, its dis
covery was decidedly essential to the To-
cation of the heirs
In the old barn loft of Sarah Scars
kading, in Huron county, Ohio, it was
luckily discovered, and according to Mr..
Durham, it is the key to the establish
ment of the heirs claims.
Mr.. Durham is sanguine of winning in
the effort, and when called upon at his
home, declared that it was only a ques-
ton of time when the estate would be
divided among the five generations. When
all the heirs are located a committee will
be formed representing the various fam
lily branches, appraisers will be appoint
ed and the courts will make a final set
tlement Of the estate.
