Escheat. In the contest for Henrietta Garrett's $20,000,000 estate is the State of Pennsylvania, which asserts there are no legal heirs, therefore the fortune must escheat, i.e., revert to the State under intestate laws. Also plugging for the money is Administrator Starr, whose claim that Mrs. Garrett's phrase "Give you" meant he should get all left after paying out $62,500 will be presented in court by former U. S. Senator George Wharton Pepper, a Philadelphia lawyer. Mr. Starr has already received some Garrett snuff money. His brother, the late Isaac Starr, was named residuary legatee by the will of Walter Garrett's sister Julia, whose adviser he had been. After settlements with her relatives in which he was represented by Senator Pepper, Isaac Starr received $6,800,000. When he died he left $50,000 to Brother Charles.
