She Wants An Accounting Mrs. Susan Fl.
Maynard, of Los Angeles, CAL, In August filed
petition in regard to the settlement of the
| estate OF her father. the late Gen. John Ed
wards, of this city. Yesterday the executor
III. o.. Towies, furniture dealer at 1907 Penn
| sylyania avenue northwest, made answer and
supported it by the affidavit Of William e.
Tucker, his bookkeeDer. The heirs are Mrs.
Mary Edwards, of this city, and her two chill
dren, and Mrs. Maynard and her brother,
Edward E. Edwards. children OF Gen. Ed
| wards by former marriage. now living at
! Los Angeles. Mrs. Edwards is Mr.. Towles'
sister.
| Mrs. Maynard asserted in her petition that
! her father, in 1877, then seventy-one years
| old and incapable OF taking care Of his busi-
! ness, deposited with Towles $1,000, and that
| Towles In rendering his account as executor,
! failed to say anything OF the residue of S3,571
OF this amount Towles improperly claims,
she says, that this sum belonged to his sister
| in her own right. She asks that Towles be
required to give account OF his settlement of
! the estate. Towles replies that he has already
rendered an account, and that the residue OF
! the $1,000 is not included. because the money
! was originally received from the sale OF the
! brick dwelling at the southwest corner of
| Fifteenth and II streets, which belonged TO
| Mrs. Edwards.
| Tucker saws that Gen. Edwards came to
him and wanted him to be executor for the
| property here while Towles should take
charge OF that at Louisville, KY. but the affi-
/ ant suggested reasons upon which Towles was
| placed in charge of all. Gen. Edwards at
| that time had Tucker open an account with
! Mrs. Edwards. placing the property at Fiji
| teenth and r streets TO her credit, and always
! spoke Of that property and its proceeds as
hers Individually.
