Dummar files new suit over Hughes estate
Then, the alleged will gets really generous.
"Third: One sixteenth to Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints David O. MaKay."
The will donates another share to create a home for orphaned children, a scholarship fund for the "entire Country," money for the Boy Scouts of America, money for his aides and key associates and a Utah man who is still trying to collect.
"Eighth: one sixteenth to go to Melvin DuMar of Gabbs, Nevada."
Lawyers for Melvin Dummar are making another attempt to collect on Hughes' estate, this time filing a lawsuit in a Las Vegas federal court. A similar lawsuit filed in Utah was rejected by a federal judge earlier this year.
Dummar claims he has a 1/16th share of Hughes' fortune.
The latest lawsuit is filed against two men who did inherit some of Hughes' estate, accusing them of defrauding a Nevada court during a dispute over the will in 1976. Dummar is suing William Frank Lummis and Frank William Gay, accusing them of fraud, perjury, tampering, concealing evidence and racketeering.

Dummar claims that in 1967, he was driving in rural Nevada when he stopped to help a man lying in the road. The man insisted he be taken to the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas. Dummar said the man identified himself as Howard Hughes, the industrialist.
In 1976, Hughes died. Dummar was working at a gas station in Willard when a stranger appeared and left him an envelope. The lawsuit said the man was later identified as a "confidential agent of Howard Hughes."
