ONE FAMILY'S SHAME.
Root Denies That He Ever Hyp-
Noticed Henry w. Dixon. :
Claims He Was Simply a Trustee
Selected by the Father
of an Idiot.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

CHICAGO. June 3o-The attorneys to-
day filed the answer Of Henry A. Root in
the action in which the defendant is
charged with having hypnotized Henry
w. Dixon Of FLUSHING, Long Island, and
defrauded him of large estate. The bill,
which was filed last March, made other
sensational charges against Root, who is
we'll known as the contestant in the Davis
will case of Montana. The answer ex-
poses a family skeleton, and 1t covers
Roots entire business relationship with
the Dixons.
He says that James W. Dixon, the COM
plainant, from borhood until the time he
was sent away frdn home by his father,
Senator Dixon oil Hartford, Conn.,, and
placed in charge o. Root in New York. was
a common drunka.d ID in the streets of Hart
ford: that about one week before the
Senator died he kent for Root and, dis
cussing the unwort,iness of his son, urged
Root to protect theiDterest Of his son and
his daughters against any attacks, legal
or otherwise. thai might be made by
James w. Dixon. ater his fathers death !;
that defendant keptthis promise inviolate.
thereby mourning tie hatred and malicious
animosity Of complainant. who at diff
ferent times made propositions to Root to
enter into an intrigse against his sisters
for the enforcement OF unjust claims and
for proving that thi fathers will was OBJ
tained by virtue of lhe undue influence of
the sisters, all of which Root refused to
do. and in 1874 Roo effected settlement
with complainant otall claims against the
estate and pa id him S15 COO
Since that time complainant has en-
deavored to enforce false claims. and be-
cause Root refused t, aid him has pursued
him (ROoD wi unceasing malignity.
The answer states that at the time OF
the death OF his fatler Henry Dixon, the
alleged victim Of hypnotism, was located
in a private asylum il Connecticut, where
he was sent by the iather hmsel Root
charges Dixon with having attempted to
levy blackmail, and declares further that
he has preyed upon his weak-minded
brother by threats ant other devices.
