CRABB, INHERlTC
Christopher Columbus Crabb is an
attorney. He lives at 2454 Lake View
avenue. .
Crabb's career is now under rigid
investigation.
The brothers of Mrs. Mary Spiegel,
who died in Crabb's home, March q
last, leaving him 100000, have de-
manded this investigation.
The brothers say that the sigma
ture of the alleged will of Mrs. Spie-
gel, which Crabb filed the day of her
death, is a forgery. Also they say
that if it is not Mrs. Spiegel spelled
her own name wrong, signifying she
was in no condition to make will.
A daughter of one of the brothers
says that 10 days before her aunt
died, Mrs. Spiegel showed her copy
of will leaving almost all her prop
erty to her brothers.
And the brothers declare it is their
belief that Mrs. Spiegel did not die.

Crabb is Canadian. He came to
Chicago about 20 years ago. Even
then he was rich by Inheritance.
A wealthy Canadian relative had
died. Crabb and his sister both
claimed the property. Crabb took
the case into court-and won.
In Chicago he became friendly with
Lizzie Allen" whose real name was
Ella Williams, one of the best known
women of Chicago's underworld.
Seventeen years ago Lizzie Allen"
died. The nurse who attended her
in her last illness was Helen Bean.
When "Lizzie Aliens" will was
filed, it was discovered that she had
left Crabb the notorious Everleigh
club, in the redlight district, and the
fashionable residence at 2454 Lake
View avenue, in which Crabb now
lives. .-....'
