I nugnes II e33 ei ts f hyiii I 1 issue - t I s i - Melvin Dummar said OGDEN, UTAH (UPI) Thursday he thinks someone planted his thumbprint on the "Mormon wiS!" of Howard Hughes in an attempt t frariit! him and maintain control of the Hughes' empire. He appealed to whoever delivered the will to the Mormon Church headquarters in Salt Like City last spring to "come forward and tell the circumstances surrounding it." The unemployed service station worker also said he was having trouble finding a job because peopie think he is rich. The Mormon will left of the billionaire's fortune to Dummar, an unemployed garage attendant who claims he once picked up a scruffy man in the Nevada desert who bummed a quarter and told him he was Hughes. "I never had anything to do with the will," Dummar said in an interview with radio station KLO. "I never touched that (the will) and if they got my fingerprints on there somebody else had to have put them on there by means of a transplant," he said. "Someone is trying to keep the Hughes organization together and they will do anything in their power to keep it that way." Nevada authorities reportedly found Dummar's thumbprint on the inside of tlie envelope that contained the will, which would leave more than $100 million to the Utahn if declared genuine. A lawyer for Hughes' relatives in Texas also said an FBI report verified Dummar's prints were on the envelope and also on a book and Life Magazine article anout hughes found in ilic n'cbei SUtc Cwllcei ill & nar W nm' If Pio. TKrJ f!.VMLD 3, HUh-I- Ve Monrn headq-iarter- Attorney James Dilworth said the Life article was titled "The Elusive Howard Hughes as Revealed Through His Letters." Pages containing samples of Hughes'writing were torn out, he said. The allegations prompted attorney Harold Rhoden, legal sponsor of the Mormon will, to ask Nevada Judge Keith Hayes to suspend probate proceedings pending further investigation. Hayes ordered the Nevada Attorney General's Office to turn over all evidence it had gathered in the case. Dummar admitted going to the library and examining a copy of "Hoax," a book about Clifford phony "autobiography" of Hughes, but said, "it was after I found out I was mentioned in the will." "I never touched that magazine," he said. "I didn't have the slightest idea about it. If they have my fingerprints on that Life Magazine article, somebody else puf them there." police source in Salt Lake City, who declined to SATURDAYS i,Wurst Irv-ing- 's t L 1 pep'P rounding it." He also said he was having trouble finding a job since being evicted from a service station he operated in WMard, Utan, IS miles norm of Ugden. "I'm badly in need of a job," he added. "Our financial situation is not good at this point. Most people think I'm kidding. They think I'm rich and don't need a job." He refused to discuss his eviction for failing to pay $400 back rent except to say he planned to move anyway because a new freeway had bypassed the station and cut his business "by 90 per cent." Dummar, his wife and children moved into an old home on 25th Street in downtown Ogden. He said a movie contract he signed with Universal Studios hadn't provided enougii money to meet his legal expenses and keep his household going. "They pay in installments as they go along," he said.
