Charles Biedinger, an inventor, was found dead in his room in
a cheap lodging-house. He had been in extreme want, and had
learned that the Superior Court at Cincinnati had decided
a patent-right claim in his favor, awarding him $93,000 and
interest upon it for several years. His invention, a machine for
making paper wrappers, was patented while he was in a sanatorium
by his financial backer, who refused an accounting when the
inventor was discharged from the sanatorium. The suit followed,
with the verdict of a fortune which came too late. Biedinger was
so reduced in circumstances that he was recently employed as a
dish-washer in a restaurant. (Text.)
