Eloquent Signor Grazzi presented the claim to Surrogate James A. Foley in Manhattan. Other European diplomats watched the test case closely. If it were fixed by precedent that foreign countries could lay hands on the unclaimed estates of their citizens domiciled in the U. S., they might expect a neat annual revenue from this source. Italy might get as much as $100,000 yearly in New York State alone, where at least $5,000,000 in claims by other nations were ready for presentation...
