About 70 of the supposed heirs met in Covington Tuesday to establish positive proof of relationship and to perfect arrangements for securing their portion of the money. One of our lawyers, Judge Edwards, perhaps, will probably be sent to England to look after the matter for the heirs, most if not all of whom, reside in the south, some here in town, but unfortunately none are editors.
