DAVID PAT1ERsON's MONEY.

Detective Block Files Statement In the
Case.
In the matter Of the estate Of David Patter-
son, in which Mr. Sylvester has filed petition
for revocation Of the letters of administra-
ton to C. C. Tucker, Detective Block has filed
an affidavit.
In this Mr.. Block says he called on David
Kurtz (the creditor on whose petition the let
tiers were issued) about the middle Of August
at the request of Mr.. Sylvester, and after Kurtz
stated that he had a claim against the estate he
said to him that he had come to learn the cir
cumstances Of the claim and IL it was q lust
one there would be less opposition on the part
Of Mr.. Sylvester.
This the affidavit saws, was in front of Kurtzs
house * street and Delaware avenue north
east in the presence OF q man named Dingle,
who claimed to be a nephew and who said he
knew all about the claim and had consulted
lawyers. Kurtz said that he had no idea of
had brought him word from Reese
that Reese could get it right away and he then
went with Dingle to Reese and made out q
paper. He heard nothing more Of it till Dingle
consulted another lawyer and got him to go to
Mr.. Mackey's office, where he made out
another paper; that he asked Kurtz to meet
him Cwitness) at police headquarters
and make a statement to Mr.. Sylvester, and
kurtz came and made o statement, which was
taken down in shorthand by Mr.. Kemp and is
embraced in the affidavit filed with the petition.
Nothing was said by him as to any probable ac-
ton being taken against any one connected with
the claim. Subsequently he requested Mr..
Kurtz to come to the Office of the attorney for
the District to sign his statement which had
been written out and he did so.
On the way he casually remarked that the
attorney for the District was under the i'm
preston that there was a conspiracy in the
case, and it was likely that he *. was being
used for the purpose Of getting the money, and
he did not believe that he would knowingly
| enter such scheme. Kurtz answered
that il it was not for Dlngls and others he
would never have made the claim. In
Kemp was read over, and Mr.. Kurtz after stten-
willingness to sign it, saying he was sorry that
Several times during the reading Kurtz checked
the reader and had him read over certain passages
that he might fully understand it. After sign
ing the attidavits Kurtz remarked he had some
letters and papers he wanted to hand the attor-
ney Of the District to show his good faith and
handed over some papers. Mr.. Block de-
mics that threats or intimidation were
used that inducements were held out
and adds that during the reading Of the papers
Kurtzs attention was called to the fact that
his claim was for s100 for services as at
tendant and nurse" and smiled, and after q
second or 20 answered that he was not Pa tier
sons attendant and nurse; that Patterson had
given him two notes for ESQ each. which he lost
but that there was no consideration for the
notes

Section3 OF rule 50 provides that sthe umpire
