unpleasant Revelations Concerning a De. ceased Detroit Millionaire.
 DETROIT, Mich, March 19.-The widow of the late Greenbacker, Moses w. Field, and Mrs. Alice Woodbridge, his daughter, have filed bill in chancery against Mrs. Mary GCrmg and her husband, John Goring Field sometimes appeared at the theatre with the Gorlngs, and there have been some whispers Of scandal about him and them The bill filed by the vic ow and daughter ayers that the Gorings hold Mir. Fields note for S2O, GOO [ that they also hold check on the American Exchange bank, of this city, for Sl, ,2lO; an assignment of q S10, 900 policy in the Massa- chusetts Mutual Life Insurance company upon the life of Mir. Field, and several other notes and obligations of at present unknown amounts. The bill charges that Mary Cor ing, by various arts, artifices and devices, had exercised great control over MT. Field and that these notes and obligations were ob talned by her through undue influence The checks and notes were presented by the Gorings to the banks, but payment was refused Then the Gorings endeavored to negotiate the s20, 900 note. The court granted an injunction restraining them from dispos- ing of the obligations until the hearing of the bill on its merits.
 The same compliments have also filed an- o'hei oiu HI chancery, alleging that the Cor ings obtained the title to certain parcels of real estate owned by Mir. Field by the same means used to obtain the obligations noted in the first bill. The widow and daughter say that the property was obtained without any con- sideration whatever and through undue, improper and unconscionable influences and 1rauduient practices and devices" exercised over MT. Field. The attorney for the Field estate has track of twenty conveyances made directly or indirectly to Mrs. Goring. The property aggregates in value about $50, ,OOO This is exclusive of the notes and checks held by the Gorings.
 The acquaintance between Field and Mrs. Goring dates back five years The lady is about 45 years old. Her home on Montcalm street is furnished in fine style, and the entire family live ill great luxury.
 The will of Mir. Field was filed for probate yesterday afternoon, leaving his entire estate to the widow (barring, of course, what he had given away or sold) and after her death to the children. The estate is worth about $1 GOO. A peculiar clause of the will says: "ln regard to our dear children, the best gift l can confer upon them is the great worth of a mothers love, the devotion, the considera- tion, the sympathy, the tenderness of a gen. tie woman, a mother loving God and illus trating her Christianity by her deeds, her kindness to her neighbors and devotion to charitable work" The revelations of these suits have astonished the community, for they mean that Mir. Field lived double life
