ROTARY BILL MAY LOSE
GIFT FROM HENEY,
i SEATTLE, April 4? The sui>erlor
court was yesterday tusked to decide
what was in the mind of M. J.
Iletiey, the millionaire railroad con
tractor. when he devised in his will
Jti.uQti cash to Richard H. Simpson,
a total stranger whom he is said
never to have met Lti his life, and
onimitted any bequest to his old
Iftiend, Hamilton Ross Simpson, his
foreman of construction on the rock
hewn roadbed of the Copper River
Hiul Northwestern railway, of A]a?
ka.
Executor E. E. Siegiey is now
ready ami willing to turn over the
$6,000 bequest to the beneficiary, but
Hamilton Ross Simpson has warned
him not to pay ii to Richard H.
Simpson, and the latter has warned
him not to pay it to Hamilton Ross
i Si.npson. The executor passed the
? whole question up to the court yes
terday when he made the two Simp
sons defendants in a suit, and asked
?hat they b ? required to prove their
claims.
Air. Heiiev died .'t Sa:i Francisi o,
October II. i:i|n His will, /flstrlbut
i:i more t.i:n a million dollars' worth
ci property, made generous bene
li. Alices to many oM-time friends.
I fan: i I ton Ross Simpson, the friend
and business asso< iate of almost a
, life-time, was deeply surprised when
his inline was not among tile bene
ficiaries. and that Richard H. Sinrp
s-vt, a i uttor stranger to Henry, was
i-?n Srt.wm, Concluding that Ilcne.v
ha! made the mistake of transposing
his initials, "H. R?" in the will, lie
made his claim to the executor, and
about the same time Richard H. re
sisted it
The Hamilton Ross Simpson re
ft rred to in the above article is
readily recognized as Rotary Bill
Simpson, former Ska^wayite who
spent many years on the White
I'ass. later going to the Copper River
in company with Contractor Heney,
when the latter commenced construct
ion en that road.
There is no doubt but that, the
lesa<y which was left by Henev for
II. H. Simpson was meamt for his
old friend and workman. Hamilton
