DOG FIGHT
FOR LOVERS GIFT
Rewood City (caifornia)
On 23 June 1970
A
courtroom Cat and Dog BATTLE among America’s animal lovers has ended with no
clear victor to collect the $6 million legacy left by an eccentric sportsman.
Superior
Court Judge James O’Keefe ruled here yesterday that no single animal loving organization
had sole claim to the fortune left by late million –airfare-financier George
Whittell.
The
judge said it was up to the executors of Whittell’s vaguely worded will to
decide which of 60 competing US ANIMAL SOCITIES should share the money.
Whittell,
who died last year at 87, set the fur flying by leaving a quarter of an estimated
$25 million fortune to “the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals
(local or national) “
There
is no national organization by that name.
But local groups abound from coast to coast – many of them joined the
fight to get the money-
