ASSISTED IN THE CONTEST.
In Isaac Jessup's petition for the re-
moYal of Glleran he says that he, the petit
toner, is a brother of Gershom 2. Jes-up
deceased, and that Gileran WAS appointed
admin Is traitor at tie request of Richard
Page Jessup who claims to be son of the
deceased. He AYERS that Gilleran has
assisted Richard p. Jessup in the making
of contest against the estate. and has
aided him and his attorney. II. |. kowalsky.
lie AYERS that Gil!eran has loaned
S20.5o0 of the estates money to kowalsky
on promiSSory note Endorsed by kOwai-
skN's brother, which note bears interest at
per cent per annum, and was gwen, ac-
coTding t. the petitioner, without any other
security therefor or any value, though Gil
leran claims to have received a deed to a
hotel in Santa Monica from KGwalsky,
which hotel was subject to a very large
mortgage.
GilleTaD. according to the petitioner,
claims TO have received from kuwalsky an
assignment Of his tk0walsky'sl interest in
the estate should Richard 7. Jessup event
ually be successful, which interest is 40 per
cent of the amount to be recovered. The
petitioner claims that this interest is of no
value.
A SURETY OF GILLERAN.
Henry l. kowalsky," the petitioner
says, is one of Gilleran's bondsmen, and
was when he went on the bond, ever has
been and now IS VIGOROUSLY insolvent and
largely in debt to snndry persons. =
That said indorser, Fl. r. kowalsky is also
one OF said administrators hondsmen, as is
also another brother Of u !. KOwaIsky."
The petitioner accuses Gilleran of having
supported the claimant, and those assisting
him in his contest, and of having interested
himself in securing legis lation, which it was
believed would be favorable to the alleged
heir, and is now keeping the claimant and his
witnesses at the Windsor Hotel, kept by
GilieTan, relying for his compensation on
the claimants winning his contest
Jessup further charged Giileran with hav-
ing paid for tho legal services employed by
the claimant out OF the funds of tue estate,
and says:
INTEREST NOT CHARGED.
Your petitioner is Informed that the admins.
TRAITOR has used or permitted TO be used, the
moneys OF The estate in the employment OF de-
tectlYeS and their maInLt nance in the prOsecu-
ton OF the claim OF Richard Page Jessup. Your
petitioner Is informed and believes ana there
fore AYERS he fact TO be that The said admins
not charged himself with all OF tile interest
earned by the moneys OF said estate, for If he
has he has then retained large sums OF money
belonging TO said estate in his possession, which,
If deposited 10 the savings bank, where they
should have been, would have drawn large
amount Of interest, as the nOnthly receipts Of
said estate from rents have always been more
than sufficient TO pay all expenses of admins
tration ami Of repairs.
The order to the administrator to show
cause why he should not be removed is
made returnable Oh Friday.
Colonel Kowalsky resents the allegation
OF the petition that he is "hopelessly insol-
vent" and even asserts that his financial
condition will permit OF his purchasing the
petitioner three times over
