To find as olden friends arrive
How memories must. in truth. survive.

Fate Like Son

The killing, occurring nearly II
years after Stanley was shot to death
at Conway, Mo-, is believed by auth
critics to have had its motive in a
dispute over land left by the former

has multiplied in value. Stanley,

"Ketchel," bequeathed 70 his mother
parcels Of resort land along the Pine
Island lake district near here.

will, police said, under the terms OF
which the property would have re-
verted to her husband at her death.

court proceedings in an effort to OBJ
tain $4,000 from the mother as his
share of the estate. The suit is still
pending. Although no legal action
was taken by the other brothers,
Leon. of New York City, and John
and Arthur, who live here, they were
said to have objected to provisions
