DIR. TEFFT'S CRoOKEDNEss. Bangor
Commercial gives some particulars of DR.
Tefft's crookedness with regard to bis sister IS
estate. She died some four years since, leaving
900 in personal property. Of this $4,000
was in town bonds, $4,000 in notes secured by
mortgage on real estate, and $4,000 in rotes of
individuals for money loaned to a church. The
lady just before dying made will in which the
larger portion of the property was given to her
remembered somewhat as were several relig'
ious societies. The special requests amounted
to about 5000, leaving about $4,000 surplus to
go to the residuary legatee.
Rev. DIR. Tetft was appointed by her residual
ry legatee and executor of the will. The DR..
sooI arrived at Oswego and easily obtained
bonds, one Bncklee, resident of that town,
becoming responsible for him. He at once en-
tered upon the duties of his office All the
property was good. There was of course more
or less delay in settling with legatees. The
DR.. commenced to beat down as much as posi-
BILE the persons to whom he paid the money.
To one old lady who was to have $500 he of
fered $780, She refused to take it and up to
now has not received a cent
In every case where he beat persons down
he would take receipts for full payment, saying
that he might settle with the Surrogate. The
pretences made were various and show the re-
sources of the man. To one person he said it
cost him $500 to get bondsmen while in reality
it did not cost him cent. Again he said he
paid $500 as damages to a carpet belonging to
the estate, while in truth he only paid $25. In
another case he said the notes amounting to
$4,000 were not of much value as the security
was not sufficient. In reality the security was
the very Dest
