WILL IS LEFT UNDER
SEAL FOR Il YEARS
Legatee Long Dead, but His
Heirs May Come Into a
Large Fortune.

WORCESTER, Mass, Sept. 1G.-
There recently came to light in an
old Worcester homestead a dusty
and torn bit of parchment on which
was written the last will and tesla
ment Of James Munro Schofield.
wealthy Scotch merchant. to James
Munro Schofield, I'd, of Worcester,
naming him as the sole legatee OF
an estate valued at 10000 English
pounds. The tragedy Of the docu.
ment lay in the fact that the son
failed to open the envelope contain.
ing the will, which he received in
the year l845.
The document was brought to the
attention Of the son and daughter
Of the beneficiary, William Bacon
Schofield and Mrs. E. d. Thayer,
both of Worcester. when they came
across the document in a secret
panel. which seventy-five years agS
would have made a millionaire Of
a boy then recently from Scotland.
AS a result of the finding of the
age-worn document the chances are
that the children of James Schofield
I'd will be millionaires.
James Munro ID, who came to
America In the early thirties. paid
no attention to possible help that
might have come from the police
at home. The immigrant, through
his own endeavors, made a fortune
Of his own by making a place Of
prominence in the business world
OF Worcester.
The two grandchildren are max.
ing active preparation for a trip to
investigate their claim. The trip
abroad for Mrs. f. d. Thayer and
William Bacon Schofield will be in
the nature Of a holiday, but at the
same time they will not neglect the
Scotch estate, which. was denied
their father through freaky circum-
stances.
