Note Discovered
In Old Bottle
May Mean Cash
By David I.. Leonard
(United Prraa Surr Corrwiundrnt)
Sun Francisco, July 27 'ti"
An old whisky bottle that Jack
J. Wurm Mumbled ovpr on a San
Francisco beach last March gave
him hope today of sharing in a
$12,000,000 estate.
The bottle contained a scrap of
paper that may completely
change his life. On It was writ
ten: "To avoid all confusion, I leave
my entire estate to the lucky per
von who finds this bottle and to
my attorney, Barry Cohen, share
and share alike Daisy Alexan
der." Daisy was the eccentric daugh
ter of sewing machine magnate
Isaac Singer who left her the huge
estate on his death. She died in
1940 of bomb shock at the age of
80. According to letters from
Cohen in London the only will
found to date is 40 years old.
Wurm said the paper was dated
June 20, 1937. He found the
bottle March 16, 1949, nearly 12
'ears later and some 12.000 miles
- from London. At first, he
thought It was "a prank of some
college kid."
Identity Learned
But later, he learned there ac
tually was a person named Daisy
Alexander. He said he ran across
a former GI who was in London
when Daisy hit the headlines.
Wurm immediately took interest
v and wrote Cohen who in turn
cabled asking for more details.
Wurm said he stlil fears he
may be the victim of a hoax, "but
with all these millions at stake
and with the number of coinci
dences entering the case, I am in
clined to put some credence in
the deal.. I've hired a lawyer for
' protection.'!
Wurm, 55, and his wife, Agnes,
' live In a small cabin south of Palo
Alto, Cal He now is employed in
a Santa Cruz, CaL, restaurant. In
Off hours, he sings with a San
Francisco barber shop quartet.
'"It's too fantastic to believe the
Under of that bottle would share
such a fortune, but one can al
ways hope," Wurm said.
One pound of uranium in the
atom-splitting process would re

the ' combustion of 1,300 tons of
coal.
