New Claim to IVendel Millions By "Son” of Secret Marriage * * * * * Scotch Claimant to Vast Fortune of New York Recluse Reveals Unsuspected Romance in Eccentric Family. ■ '-V 1 ; — i^jr~ — i ■fl - flwxL? & PNOSRIS I z \ Wv rw •..Z'. iX y* I — />«' <>/ 'J C' i ♦ ' • »• y < L» # < ..,„r rn e—■ ■■—■ .__ _ ftiMnikifniyTii'-i'"i efoiW G.WENDKVS ''Ma&PJHGE CSRTttICm From Dundee, Scotland, comes the latest claimant to the vast estate of | the l«te Ella V/ endel, spinster reclute of New York, to spread consterna* tion amongst the 6,000 or so other people who are engaged in a legal battle for a share of the $75,000,000 left by the last of the Wendels. The new character to monopolise the spotlight is Thomas Patrick Morris, who bases his claim to the estate on the assertion that he is the son of John Gottlieb Wendel, brother of Ella, by a secret marriags. Unlike the other claimants, Morris is armed with documentary evidence that apparently substantiates his claim. One of the exhibits introduced is a timeyellowed marriage certificate purporting to be that of John Wendel to Mary Ellen Devine, of Edinburgh, Scotland. Morris says he is a child of that marriage, accounting for the name Morris by the fact that he was brought up by foster parents in Scotland. Morris is also in possession of a book he asserts was given him by his father. The front fly leaf of this volume bears written instructions, signed “John G. Wendel,” telling the story of his secret marriage and subsequent quarrel with his bride over religious differences. On the back fly leaf of the book is what is purported to be a will. This, too, is signed “John G. Wendel,” and leave* the testator's entire property to Thomas Patrick Morris. If the man from Dundee can substantiate his claim, it is probable ha will be named sole heir to the Wendel fortune, as he is the only claimant who comes within the third degree of blood relationship.

New York. .July 30. (U.R) —Like] a chapter out of fiction is the lit 'tst development in the great legal I battle for the millions of the late I Ella Wendel, New York recluse,, who in life didn't have a relative, I but in death has more than a Mor-1 mon elder. Front Dundee, Scotland, has come 1 l the new character to monopolize, the spotlight in the great drama 1 which promises to be more sensational than any fictional parallel i .ever produced on the stage. He is [ .Thomas Patrick Morris, who, to the i ; utter consternation of the 6,000 or i iso other claimants to the vast estate, claims to be sole heir to Ella 1 Wendel's $75,000,000. Morris, according to his story, is. the son of John Gottlieb Wendel,. brother of Ella, by a secret marfiage. which fact, if borne out by ■ evidence he proposes to submit J places him within the third degree ’ of blood relation to the last of the Wendel line and makes him tie legal next of kin to the late multi-1 millionaire spinster. Claiming that his rightful name' is Thomas Patrick Wendel, the dour 'Scotsman from Dundee told a tale that not only sounds seas-1 ible, but. he insists, is supported by documentary proof, including papers purporting to be a wil', aj marriage certificate and several let-[ ters. Morris' story is that John Gottlieb Wendel married Mar# Ellen Devine of Edinburgh, Scotland, al Cat tle Garden, N. Y„ in 1876. The marriage was kept secret. Wendel fearing the opposition of his eccentric sisler. Religious differences that sprung up between Wendel and his secret bride resulted in the latter leaving him and returning to i her native Scot and, where Thomas ; Patrick, her son, was born on January 3, 1880.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, .Il’IA 30, 1932,

Thomas was brought up by sos- ' ter parents, Peter and Margaret ] | Morris in Dundee —that is how he I accounts for never having assumed (the name Wendel. to which be says Ihe is entitled. He never saw his father until ho was five years old, when John G. Wendel came to Scotland and visited him at the Morris] 'home. Alter that, Wendel came, every year. After these annual [visits. says the claimant, the Morris family was always supplied .with money. Morris came to New York in 1906 and met John Wendel who; took him to the Fifth Avenue mansion of his wealthy sister Ella ! , But the eccentric spinster would have none of him. So he left hisj father and went out West, where ] he worked in mines, painting and I all kinds of odd jobs. The Caledonian claimant to the Wendel millions has been twice married. His first wife, after hearing him five children all of whom are living -ran away from him. On hearing of her death sove’-al years later, be married Mary Flynn, in Florida, with whom he is now happily living. Among the exhibits which Mor- ., ris, or Wendel, introduced in support of his claim is a marriage j certificate, yellowed with ago, which roads: "John G. Wendel. of Now York, and Mary Ellen Devine, • of Edinburgh, were united in Holy Matrimony on June 11. 1876, J (Signed! James F. Calhoun, Pastor. Castle Garden, N. Y." The doenmentbears the signatures Wil- ’ Ham C. Swigert and Louise i Schmidt. . Also in Morris’ possession is a book which he says was given him '!bv his father. It j 3 called “The , Blockade of Phalsbourg” and was published in 1900. On the fly leaf I of the volume is a letter of instruc-

! tions, signed “John G. Wendel. which tells the story of his tnar- ! riage and the subsequent quarrel with his bride. And on the back I fly leaf there is a will, also signed I “John G. Wendel.” bequeathing the testator's entire property to Thomas Patrick Morris. That's Morris' story and he'll stick to it. So would all of us if sticking meant a gift of *75,000,009. 0 > ♦ Test Your Knowledge Can you answer seven of these j test questions? Turn to PagH | Four for the answers. • * 1.

And it behooves milady, if she would be u considered modish, to pay strict at-1 tention to the selection of these 1 jackets. Often a good effect is en ‘ tirely ruined by the mismating of .frock and jacket. There are some beautiful model.-! ■ el these little jackets to choose i from. Taffeta, silk crepe ami or-! . candie are available in attractive' styles. When the fabric of the | I jacket differs from that of the I dress, it is always best to choose I • a contrasting color. But in the 1 ivsi' of prints, it is perfectly cor- : ■ fict for frock and packet to be of > the same colors. Taffeta goes rea'ly well with I i sheer cotton or organddte and vol-1 veteen is an excellent accompani j ■■ ment for pique and cotton lace! . dresses, while transparent velvet! • is ideal with satin, lace or silk. One of the prettiest print frocks ■ seen in Hollywood is of black chi* • son with a small floral print in 1 white and red.
