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.

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.
