The Hill Investigation.
WASHINGTON, June 15.-Stinemetz'

defense would admit that some excess |

public buildings erected under Hill or |
the prosecution would be re-
lulred to exhibit their proof with expert |
testimony as 10 each. Alexander, OF |

A Dishonest Guardian.
SAN Francisco, June ia. Heyne- |
mann, as attorney at law for Augusta |
AlQiers, has filed a complaint in the |
Superior Court against Jane Brickwe-
del, Martin Heucken and j. Raster, ad-
of the estate of Henry
deceased municipal audi
tor. The complaint alleges for cause
of action that deceased was In 1867 APP
pointed guardian of the estate and per-
son of plaintiff, who is an orphan.
While acting as such guardian in Jan
uary, 1871, deceased is alleged to have
invited and taken plaintiff to his home,
and held out Inducements by reason of
the love and affection which he bore for
his ward, that she would receive the
care and attention of home and a
mother without any expense whatever
for maintenance and support. which
we're held out
to her a great many times, too
to mention, and which origi-
nally induced the ward to go TO her
guardians home where she remained
until his death. Relying implicitly
upon these oft repeated assurances, she
never demanded of him any accounting
of her estate, but, actuated by the in
ducements held out to her, and moved
by the apparent kindness and liberality
of her guardian, she made him and his
wife many valuable presents of dIa-
monds, mirrors. statuettes, pedestals,
and dresses, and performed all manner
of services in cooking and aiding in the
general duties of the household. I'm
mediately upon his decease. when
Brickwedel's papers and effects were
examined by an accountant, plaintiff
learned to her great sur
prise that her guardian, during
these many years had wrongfully
charged her in advance $40 for every
months board. washing and sewing,
amounting to S2,943.57, which amount is
sought to be recovered, as the admins
traitors rejected the claim when it was
presented for allowance. Della Reagan,
a sister of the plaintiff in the above ac-
ton, has brought similar suit to re-
cover 2,S9S.5O, alleging like cause of
action.
