.CHAS, HILLS SFORTUNE
Attorney Sands Returns From
California--His Clients
the Rightful Heirs.

Mr.. Conway r. Sands, the well-known
attorney, has returned from a three
weeks absence on trip across the con-
tinent in the interest of parties in Rich
mond. who claim to be the rightful heirs
to the $4,000 left by the late Charles
Hill, Of Los Angeles, Cal.
The fact that many claim the dead
mans fortune, and also that there is
something OF a mystery surrounding his
llfe-that he lived under an assumed
name-has excited much attention The
deceased was man of much wealth in
this city, his native home
Charles Hill. whose right name is Sam
uel S. Bath, was a resident of this city
until 1854, when, owing to q personal
difficulty, the exact particulars of which
are not known. he changed his name and
left suddenly for San Francisco. leaving
in Richmond much valuable property.
Mr.. Sands. discussing the results of his
trip last night. said: II think that I can
prove beyond a doubt that my clients are
the true heirs. At the Home of the Good
Samaritan, where Bath died, I was told
that the photographs given me by my
clients resembled him more than any
others that had been shown. and that the
photos of Mr., Baths family showed a
marked resemblance to the dead man..
also secured the signatures of Mr.. Bath
and copies of his writings, which corre-
spond to those in my possession. ! COW
cred the ground thoroughly, and every
new clue seemed to point to but one con-
clusion-that those whom 1 represent are
the direct possessors of the disputed
wealth.
1.-The claim upon which the people in
Boston base their rights is in the letter
'S"-the characteristic way in which he
used it in his signature in the Ford
Charles-and they further assert that his
right name was Salem Charles, which
accounts for the Charles in his assumed
name.
II have been assisted in Los Angeles
by Mr.. f. w. Freeman. a celebrated at
torney of that city, who will represent
me in the courts out there during the
trial of the case in the Federal court.
II have returned fully satisfied that the
victory is ours. >.
The Richmond claimants are: Charles
S. Cook. of No. 201 Randolph street; Mrs.
Dora v. Houston, 10l4 west Main street.
and Mrs. Maud Plunkett. In addition to
these, there are several relatives of North
and South Carolina, who have Joined the
