NEW YORK, November 1O.-The
Evening World says today that in the
estate of Arnold Rothstein, slain
gambler, and presumably included
among the assets are the plunder OF
world-famed burglaries and robberies.
In several safe deposit boxes, the World
says, were found "a great part of the
$5,000,000 in bonds stolen in wholesale
robberieS of Wall Street messengers sew
eral years ago, and jewels supposed tc
be loot from one of the Long Island
millionaire country homes robbed in
the same period.
The bonds were found bound to-
gether with a rubber band, the World
says, and with them was letter OF
transmission indicating they might
have been used as collateral in OBJ
tanning a large retainer for counsel in
a sensational criminal action.
The keys and other authority to open
these boxes are now in the possession
of the executors of Rothstein's estate
as named in his will, filed today.
Not all of the beneficiaries under
the will have given written consent to
its probate.
If there is a contest the contents OF
all of Rothstein's boxes of deposit may
be put under control of the Surrogate's
Court and thus become public.
Will Is Secretive.
Rothstein was as secretive in death
as in life. His will failed to show
any of the things it had been expected
to reveal.
It was signed on the gamblers death
bed, when he was able only to make q
cross in place of his signature. It didn't
tell the size of his estate, whether it
was $10,000,000, as rumored in some
bright light quarters, or shrunk by a
run of bad luck, to less than 81 900, 900,
as rumored in other underworld hang
outs.
1t didn't tell whether he knew in his
last days that he was a marked man,
that death lurked around every corner,
and that at last he was in a situation
that he could neither laugh off nor
snarl his way out of with the etfrontery
that had made him famous wherever
shaded lights glowed on green cloth.
It didn't tell anything at all except
that his widow was to have life In
terest in one-third of his estate, that
a woman friend was to have the tenn
porary income from one-siXth, and that
his three closest men friends were to
divide among them all but the widows
third after a few specific bequests and
after other people had had the use OF
part of it for 10 years.
Ex-Show Girl Remembered.
The woman friend to whom the in
come of one-sixth the residuary estate
was given for 10 years was Miss inez
Norton, a former show girl who lives
in Rothsteins Hotel Fairfield and who
was divorced last Summer.
The three men named as executors
and to whom the bulk of the estate goes
outright after 10 years, are Assembly
man Maurice Cantor, who was Roth
STEMS attorney; William Wellman and
Samuel Brown. Brown and Wellman,
in the meantime, are to have the in
come of per cent of the estate each.
Rothstein left his brothers, Edgar
and Jack, $4,000 each and the income
for 10 years of 20 per cent of the es--
tate. The gamblers parents were not
mentioned in the will, but associates
said he had provided for them before
death. A negro servant he used as con-
fidential agent was given $4,000.
