all these defendants to this suit pretend to have
some right OF interest in u lien or claim upon

are unjust and injurious to thoir rights. HOLD

These defendants also admit many things
which ara in the complainants bill. but claim
that the transfers OF property referred to were
made in good faith and with the full knowledge
of stephen Jumel. They deny that stephen did
not understand the English language. They
disclaim all knowledge Of the French rela-
tives. and say II they are the heirs at law. then
1t Ia the first deiendants knew OF it. They do
not know that Mary Jumel Bownes was very
poor when she came into family, but they say
that in 1905. when q child Of tender years. she
was received into the family rs their adopted
chi ID. and thenceforth supported, maintained.
and educated as such. They admit that her
through her life she was recognized as tho
adopted child and intended hcrcss Of stephen
and Nine. Junel. As for the sell out oi the
Jones heirs that was for the sum Of 10000.
and they say that IL Mary Jumel Bowncs Chase
was not the next heir nj law. then ELIAS sisters
chidren-these same Joneses-were. and would
be to-day. but for this sale to Nelson Chase.
They admit that stephen Jumel was In France
for some time. but insist that. during the thir-
teen years he was IN that country with his
family. he lived but little while with his rea-
tives. Their answer winds up with a copy of
the document by which the Jones children
transferred their rights 10 Chase. and with
copies OF some other paners bearing on the SUIT;
The next movement will b. made by counsel
for the complanants. and then proof will be
asked for by the Court. and. of course. submit
