EIGHT BACKGROUND
SUITED TO MYSTERY
AGED WIDOW BEQUEATHS $200,
000 TO YOUNG JAPANESE
SECRETARY
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. (JP) —
Fit setting for a prize mystery or
detective story was the 16th street
home of the late Mary F. Hender
son, 90-year-old social a r b i ter
around whose will—or wills— a big
court battle looms.
The aged widow of senator J. B.
Henderson from Missouri left an es
tate estimated at between $5,000,
000 and $6,000,000.
In a will dated November 17,
1930 Mrs. Henderson cut off Mrs.
Beatrice Wholean, who she claimed
was only a foster-granddaughter,
with only $100, but left her young
Japanese secretary, Jesse Shima,
$200,000. Court action to break this
will appears imminent, and already
five other wills have been brought
to light.
Secret papers kept locked away
for years and only recently reveal
ed would play a part in any court
proceedings.
In the foreground looms the
! suave, neat figure of the Japanese
i secretary who has been the close
associate of Mrs. Henderson for six
years.
Their association was an unusual
one, the failing dowager seeming to
cling to him for both advice and
companionship.
She apparently reposed in com
! plete trust and confidence in him,
in the midst of what she seemed to
feel was a rising tide of stealthy
intrigue.
Mention of a former maid, “Val
erie,” whom Mrs. Henderson accus
ed of spying on her, could rouse her
to excitement, friends say. But
always the soothing voice of Shima:
“Just forget her, think of other
List your labor wants with us; we wt'j
