    Even more, notice Hamon's audacious claim to be the "adopted son" of Ted
    Williams and the sob story about how the evil son took Hamon's
    "father" away from him, snatching the phone from his hand, etc. A
    melodramatic attempt by Hamon to seize hush-up money, probably inspired by
    the sister's payoff deal.

    I assume ALcor & the real son have strong proof of Williams' last wishes,
    so they perhaps should not have settled with the sister. Hamon is
    appealing over the head of the judges, to the mob and their lurid
    imaginations & suspicions...
