(International Soundphoto) Whisper of Dying Spinster Starts Big Treasure Hunt Detroit (U.R) A whisper from a dying spinster sent her two cousins on a treasure hunt that has yielded as of Wednes day, more than 300,000 in cash and securities. Shortly before 76-year-old Miss Emma Schuknecht died July 8, she put her lips close to the ear of Mrs. Tillie Stotz, a cousin. j "If anything happens to me, j look in the closet off the front i bedroom," Miss Schuknecht j whispered. "All my papers are i there." Lived Frugally j Miss Schuknecht. a retired department store drapery cut ter, always had lived frugally in her shabby home and nobody suspected she had any money. But Mrs. Stotz called in an-! other cousin, Mrs. Esther Klotz, j and they sought the counsel of; Ben. W. Boutell, an attorney. Boutell said he and the cou- sins found $150,000 in securit-j ies and $100,000 in cash in the j closet lat Friday but no ! will. j Found Money in Boxes ! The attorney and county : treasurer's agents rummaged I through the spinster s bedroom Tuesday and found another $54, 544 packed in two large metal boxes and a wooden cigar box. "We may find the will yet, and a lot more money, too," Boutell said. "We still have to search two more bedrooms, four closets, the attic and basement. We'll be lucky to finish this week." All Shapes and Sizes Boutell said the money was found in all shapes and sizes four $1,000 bills, a bundle of $40 bills issued by a bank sever al years ago, pennies, silver dol lars, and even the $25 gift certi ficate fellow employees had giv en the spinster when she retired in 1948. The Federal Reserve Bank in Detroit said the $40 bills are worthless as they must have been issued by a state bank prior to the Civil War and are no long er valid.
