side the smoky old lamp in his shack, ne
became Hazeltine, the financier. Sur
rounded by the dismal results of his days
foraging, he handled deals involving for
tunes, transacted thousands of dollars
worth of business, and placed investments
with sagacity that would have made him
a master in Wall Street.
In his first will, dated June 10, 1919,
he directed that small sum be paid each
rlonth to distant relatives, but that the
estate was to be held in trust and to go
ultimately to the United States Govern
ment upon the death of the beneficiaries.
But apparently-again like Mr.. Meeson-
he changed his mind when he felt death
upon him. Like Mr.. Meeson he thought
of the relative he had wrOnged and with
death closing in on him determined with
the desperation of a dying man to leave
new will at any cost.
Much space was devoted by the news
papers to the remarkable story of the
''half million dollar pauper" and thus the
case came to the attention of Mrs. Pelkey
and Mrs Higgins, To their surprise they
learned that the man who had died in
their rest home had been a man of wealth.
They consulted attorneys, unearthed the
"petticoat WILL" and made its contents
public and the pot of legal trouble began
to simmer again, just as it did in the
story. The case of Meeson VS.. Addison,
according to the author became one of
the most famous will contests in England.
The contest over the "petticoat will" in
California promises to be, if not the most
famous, certainly one of the strangest
in legal history And the parallel to the
story is carried on still further, since it is
a favorite relation of the dead man who
is fighting for his money.

wrote on the white cloth-the last will
and testament of George w. Hazeltine.
This was the way it read:
81, the undersigned, George Hazeltine,
make this day my last will and testament,
to give and bequeath to each of my two
nurses, Madaline Higgins and Lillian Pei
key, each ten thousand dollars ($10,000).
The remainder of my entire estate to 60.
to my great-grandniece, Lorraine Mason,
present address unknown"
When the scarcely audible whisper
ceased, Hazeltine TREMENDOUSLY extended
his hand just as Meeson had done. Mrs.
Pelkey took it and guided it as Bill had
done with Nelson's hand, while he made
two crosses under the twill" Then his
name was written beneath the crosses and
the two women signed it as Witnesses
like the two tars in the story.
The will was dated March IA, 2:30
p. M, 1925.
Silence fell in the room. Hazeltine
had sunk into Inconsistencies. The next
day he died. Whether this strange docu-
ment will be upheld, as its fanciful coun-
terpart was in the story, is still ques-
ton. But it is one of the weirdest pieces
of literature in all the files of CALIFORNIA;
courts
The nurses thought little of the Incl
dent. Why he should want to leave a
will was more than they could understand;
but they had acceded to his wish to satisfy
what they supposed was dying whim.
Such poignant incidents were not uncom-
mon in the crest Home"
They had taken him in on the night
last Winter when he was brought to them.
1t was clear that he had not long to live,
a poor old man, to all appearances penni-
less, dying alone, without the comforting
word of single relative or friend.
1t would have been inhuman to turn
him out in the world utterly alone, per-
haps to die on the streets. So Mrs. Hig-

For Mrs. Lorraine Moody Richmond,
who identified herself as the great grand
niece, named as beneficiary in the strange
death-bed will, engaged attorneys, and
she also started an investigation.
Upon the discovery of the new will
attorneys for Mrs. Richmond filed petit
ton in court seeking to revoke the probate
of the original will and asked for letters
of administration and for the probate of
the one written on the petticoat
H. G. Redwine, attorney for Mrs Rich
mond, says the two nurses cannot share
IN Mr.. Hazeltine's estate because under
provision of the California law a person
named as beneficiary in a will cannot be
a witness to that same instrument.
But according to the attorney the pet
ucoat will is legal so far as it concerns
Mrs. Richmond.
He explains that Hazeltine apparently
thought his great-grandniece was known
as Lorraine Mason and that is why that
name appears on the petticoat will instead
of Lorraine Richmond, the right name of
his great-grandniece.
When advised of the discovery of the
new will, Frank S. Hutton, one of the
principal benefactors under the original
document and attached codicils, said:
"Well, it's all news to me. We had no
idea that Mr.. Hazeltine had left any will
other than the one in 1919 and the two
codicils to it. It's all very interesting"
Thus the will tangle stands today. To
the Los Angeles courts will fall the prob
lem of deciding whether the 'petticoat
wilp' is a valid instrument anu shall stand,
and to lonely old Hazeltine goes the credit
for proving again that even romancers
like Rider Haggard can't think of fiction
half as strange as truth.

ging and Mrs. Pelkey put the aged man
in comfortable bed and ministered to
his wants as well as they could.
They found out that he was known as
the "Pauper of North Broadway" that he
had lived for fifty years in tumbledown,
one-room shack, and that he eked out an
existence by collecting refuse, living from
day to day on diet of stale bread and
skinned milk.
As for the $4,000 each had been left
well, they said, perhaps he did that to
let US know that he had appreciated what
we had done for him and that is what he
would have wished for u.s."
With that they dismissed the matter
from their minds. Then came big sur
prise.
Shortly after the funeral will, signed
by Hazeltine, dated 1919, drawn up in
Il indicated that the "Pauper- of North
Broadway" had,left an estate worth more
than 100000!
The astonished authorities investigated.
They discovered that the solitary old man
had fortune of a half million or more.
II consisted of shrewdly chosen stocks,
bonds as good as gold and very valuable
real estate.
They found that Hazeltine had lived for
nearly half a century in the ramshacke
hut at 764 North Broadway, but that he
owned the entire block of property on
which it stood. His income from his many
investments was large enough to keep him
in luxury as long as he might live, but he
had spent his time collecting tin cans,
match boxes, old lumber and rubbish of
all sorts.
By day he picked his way among the
alleys of Los Angeles, gathering rubbish
as Hazeltine, the ragpicker. At night, be-

Such a document seems too fantastic
even for one of the richly imaginative
tales of Sir Rider Haggard. But will
just as strange was recently filed in the
Los Angeles County Court. 1t is the last
will and testament of George W. Hazel
tine, who was known as "the pauper of
North Broadway" and who for fifty
years had lived alone in one-room shack.
1t was not tattooed on a woman's back,
but it was scrawled on the white hem of
a nurses petticoat. And the circum-
stances under which it was drawn up
parallel with startling exactitude those in
the fancilful old story.
1t was one afternoon last March that
Hazeltine suddenly realized that he was
dying. He had been lying at deaths
door for days in the Westlake Conva-
lescent Rest Home of Los Angeles.
He made a weak gesture with his. hand
and called feebly to his nurse, Mrs.
Lillian Pelkey. She went quickly to his
bedside, and one glance at the shrunken
face told her that the end was very close.
The thin lips moved, and Mrs. Pelky
knelt beside the bed to catch the words
that came from his lips.
"Bring-pen-and paper" whispered
Hazeltine, slowly. Then, I'll am
dying. | want--to make a will"
Mrs. Pelkey was surprised at such re-
quest from this man who apparently had
nothing at all to leave behind him, but
hastily she summoned Mrs. Madeline Hig-
ging, proprietor of the retreat.
The nurses knew that life was slipping
fast from the emaciated old body. A
moments delay and it might be too late.
Hastily they searched the room for pen
and paper. But nowhere in the neat little
sick-room was there a single scrap of
paper.
They started to leave the room to look
elsewhere in the hospital, but faint gasp
from the dying man brought them back
t. his bedside.
1t was a question of minutes now. 1t
was race with death, just as in the story
of old Meeson. And, just as in the story,
somehow the will must be written imme-
diately or not at all.
Mrs. Pelkey suddenly noticed stump
of pencil lying on the floor She seized
it, knelt by the bed and turned up the
hem of her white petticoat. With her ear
close to the lips of the dying man she
