Ihs Reasons Why senator Williams Son
Asks for the Control OF iiis Property
Tho Couss, OF True Love-
Mr.. Ernauld Williams, a young man
about twenty-three years of age. has filed
a motion in tho circuit court of Baltimore
to set aside q deed of trust by which he
conveyed to his father. Hon. George
Hawkins Williams, president of the state
Senate, ali Of his property. in considera-
ton Of an annuity Of $1,000 per annum.
The son will, it is understood, soon sue
his father for s25O.OOO the amount of
property conveyed by the deed of trust in
the motion just filed. The young man
simply states that reasons for the transfer
which existed ut the time OF signing tho
deed Of trust do not now exist. and
asks to be given control of his
property. There is very pretty
suit, however. Early last spring it
became known in high society that
Mr. Ernau!d Williams was engaged to be
married to Miss Dillie Hazlett, daughter of
James Hazlett, living on st. Paul street.
Young Williams is one of tho best known
society men in the city. and the announce
ment attracted considerable attention,
which did not wane when it became
known that Senator Williams, a man who
Is known to possess a strong will of his
OwD, was bitterly opposed to tho match.
There was considerable curiosity to know
the result Of the opposition OF the groom's
father, and few supposed that the mar
riage would take place. The wedding day
| was fixed for June 18th last. Cards were
issu.d, and the brides trcsseau was pre-
pared, when the friends ct the contracting
parties were startled to learn Oh June list
that the groom had sailed fog Europe.
Later, It transpired that bcfor:; Mr.. En-
nauld Williams departure, he had been
compelled to make - deed of trust TO his
father of his entire fortune amounting to
$3.50, 600, inherited direct from his grand
father.
It is said at the time there was a stormy
sceno between father and son, and that
the latter was coerced into signing the
trust by Senator Williams, whose control
of the young man had always been OF the
most absolute character. Young Will
Jams wrote to his bride elect, contrary ia
his fathers wishes, after reaching New
York, and just before he sailed, epjOining
tions. The young lady was greatly pros.
tratcd by tho desertior Of her intended
husband only two weeks before the mar
riage and was quite i'll for severa! days.
The affair had almost been for
gotten, when, one day, about a month
ago, young Williams suddenly appeared in
Baltimore and shortly announced his in
tention to immediately marry Miss Haz.
lett. The invitations were again issued,
and this time there was no postpOnenent,
the ceremony being performed in the
presence of a fashion, bic gathering at tho
residence Of the BRIDES father about three
weeks ago. 1t is almost needless to Say
that Senator Williams was not present.
The young couple have been residing with
MIR. Hazlert since their marriage. 1t j:
reported the father will not recognize his
son on tho street. The general belief il
that there will be quito 4 prolonged lega
tussle between the father and SON in con
sequence of the suit. Senator William,
has refused to give nj; his sons money
and it is believed will oppose lis dcnant
to tho end.
