THE HEWITT ESTATE,
Another Step I'm the Litigation Over
.the Property.

In the Probate Court, Judge Hagner today
in the case of the estate of Robert c. Hewett,
deceased. Laura G.. Robinson, by Messrs Cole
Cole, filed exceptions to the first account of
observation-disclosures.
The petitioner appears by her next friend,
Edwin Sutherland. She excerpts to the item Of
$1,000 collected on the judgment Of Hewett
agt Gleason by w. A. Cook and retained by
him for services. saying the only apparent OBJ
ject is to swell the aggregate upon which to
charge commissions.
As to the item S15.39l.61 claimed to have
been received from Walter F. Hewett for pur-
chase of stock. &C.. and for which they claim
credit as due him wv. L. Hewctt), she says no
such sum was received and no such debt was
ths sum Sh the s s,sse' a' sold this
son for III January. 1888. and the same should
have been deducted from the legacy of $50 600,
and she is informed 1t was Sc done. She also
excerpts to various other items and says they
have failed to charge themselves with s23, O00
the debt due tor the Washington National
Base Ball Club, and says W. F. Hewett has
since his appointment an administrator had
sufficient funds (or could have had with dill.
gence and prudence for the payment Of the
debt in full; that the estate owned a control
ling interest in the club, and with the
consent OF the other administrators W.
+. Hewett was permitted to manage the
club and speculate Herewith for his own indi-
vidual gain and profit. and thereby the debt
has been lost to the estate.
She says they should be charged with the
value of the stock, eleven shares at $500 each /;
that said Walter F. Hewett purchased stock at
$500 and paid for the same out of me
assets and had the stock asslgne /
to him individually and now claims that the
club is insolvent and made an assignment, aua
che says the stock should be charged ut not less
than w. +. Hewett gave others.
