FORTUNE THAT NOBODY WANTS.
Left by n Gypay Murderer, Whose
Heirs Call 1t "BIood Money"-and
Won't Touch 1t.

He1rs Call IL "blOOd MOney"-and
Won't Touch 1t.
A new phase Of the gypsy character
has developed in the circuit court at
Evansville. Indiana, which has put the
court in position where there is nei-
ther law nor precedent for action.
Isaac Harrison, known for many
years in the west and south as the
Gypsy King, was murdered by one Of
his sons in Alabama year ago. He
had accumulated some means during
his rowing life and had invested his
money so advantageosly that he pos
sessed a moderate fortune. The MUIR
1erer fled to the west and the old mans
property was administered by the
court, each Of the heirs receiving an
equal share. The amount due to the
fugitive son was paid into court, as
he was absent, and passed to the pos
session Of the clerk Of the county as
the courts officer.
Several weeks ago young Harrison
was injured in a railroad accident and
revealed his identity and the authorities
at Evansville were notified. N)ne oc
the Harrison family showed any inter-
est in the result of the murderer's
1eath. When applied to by the court
for proof Of his end all refused to take
any steps in the matter.
The clerk finally secured the neces-
sary proofs and the judge ordered the
part Of the estate belonging to the mur-
derer to be distributed among the 9TH
ar heirs. It then developed that none
Of his brothers and sisters would accept
any part Of the estate. They said
when questioned that 1t was "blood
money" and they did not want to touch
1t.
They do not contend that the father
was murdered for the money; but that
it came to the son through blood and
1t Is the same as though he had killed
his father for it. Attempts to argue
the case bring only shakings of the
head, and the often iterated statement,
IT'S blood money. don't want It,"
AS the legal owners Of the sons part
Of his fathers fortune are still alive,
the court cannot declare it escheated to
the state and 1t will probably remain in
the clerks hands indefinitely. The di-
rect heirs Of the old gypsy chief say
that none Of their children will ever lay
claim to the money, because its posses
sion would be certain to bring misfor-
tune upon any one who takes It.
