Stock Certificate Find Reopens Estate Of Legendary Lawman

The estate of legendary prohibition enforcer Elliot Ness has been reopened after the find of a stock certificate in a forgotten box of personal effects. The stock is in the security company Diebold and could be worth thousands of shares after decades of splits. However, Diebold denies the validity of the certificate stating no record exist that any stock was issued to Ness even though he was a director of the company. In any case, it wont be any close relations of the lawman that might gain from the discovery, the heirs are cousins of his third wife and can be heard laughing two counties in every direction.
