Thomas Conquest, of 85 Fayette
street, has every reason to believe
that his uncle in Gloucester, England,
has just died leaving him sole heir
and executor of large fortune He
will sail for Europe on a Cunard
liner Wednesday, accompanied by his
wife.
It is known by Mr.. Conquest that
his nncle, whom he was named after,
favored him, as in letters he stated
that at his death he would make him
his executor and heir. The uncle
also set forth In his letters that If
he was ever Ill and dying, he would
send for his. nephew to come at once.
Saturday Mr.. Conquest received a
cablegram, "Very ILL., Come immed-
lately" AS no other message has
been received since, he is almost
positive that his uncle is dead, as he
believes that IL he was still alive, he
would have received another mes
sage.
Mr.. Conquest was born in England
and knew his uncle when a boy He
has not seen him for over forty years,
although he has communicated with
him many times by letter. He has
always been given to believe that he
would be his uncles heir, although
he never received any benefits in the
way of money from him.
A friend of Mr.. Conquest, who was
in England some time ago, told him
that his uncle Is reputed to be worth
between $150,000 and 1900, 900, al
though this may not be authentic. 1t
is understood that all of the property
Of the uncle was converted into cash
by him recently so that the executor
would have little trouble in settling
his affairs.
