Court Must Decide If
Boy Is Son of One or
Both of Dead Sisters

Chicago, March 31.-The death
of Rosa and Josefa Black, the
"Siamese twins" has left the
Cook county probate court with a
legal problem which apparently is
unprecedented. In disposing of
the 100000 estate Of the twins,
the court must decide if 11-year-
old Franz is the son of one or both
If the twins.
A scientific controversy which
even before the death of the sis
lers yesterday has resolved itself
into the question: Were Rosa
and Josefa Black one individual
personality or did they constitute
separate entities"
Inheritance at Stake.
If they were one personality the
son will inherit the entire for-
tune which was accumulated by
the twins during their exhibition
tours of the world. If they were
two distinct personalities, Rosa
being the mother and Josefa the
aunt, only Rosa's half of the es-
tate would go to the lad, while
Josefas closest relatives would be
entitled to her half.
Physicians say there are physl-
illogical facts to support each con-
tention and attorneys agree that a
legal opinion must be based on a
scientific analysis of the bodies.
Post Mortem Opposed.
So far a postmortem has been
opposed by the brother, Frank
Blazak who is in this city.
Decision concerning disposition
of the bodies has been deferred
pending a reply to a cablegram
sent to the father in Czecho-slo-
vakia.
If the father does not desire to
have the bodies returned to the
homeland the brother says he is
willing that some university be
given an opportunity to make an
examination to learn, if possible
the mystery of their dual exist
ence.
