Hinckley in full Of all claims held blythe
latter against e. Il. Rowell. That mat.
ter has therefore been satisfactorily adj
justed. Mrs. Rowell said this morning
that she did not deed away her property
to cover any money. which had peen mis-.
appropriated, but funds which had been
entrusted to him and which had been in
vested disastrously.
The most serious phase of the difficulty
at present is two notes, one for $1,000 and
one for $4,000. now held by R. r. Annable
for collection. which are made payable to
Josephine Hinckley, resident of Rhode
1sland, and which purport to have been
signed by Sarah c. Hinokley of this city.
By the latter the signature is pronounced
a forgery, ahd if this should be sstab-
lished it will remain for Rowell to ac-
count for the notes, since they were de-
llvered by him to Il. II. Annable, attor-
ney for Josephine Hinckley.
Frank Hinckley. the deceased husband
of Sarah G. Hinckley, during his life
time gave an annuity note to Josephine
Hinckley in return for $4,000. which came
originally from their fathers estate. The
interest OH the annuity amounted to $I40,
and at her husbands death, Mrs. Sarah
g. Hincklsy determined to pay the note
The matter was arranged, and she says
she gave Rowell. acting az her attorney.
$4,000 in checks with which to pay the note.
Mr.. Rowell paid the note through At
torney Annable. but paid il with $1,000 in
cash, and the two notes, one for $1,000
and one for $4,000, and bearing the sigma
ture of Sarah G. Hinckley. This was in
February of the present year.
The first that Mrs. Sarah @. Hinckley
knew OF these notes was on Thursday,
when Mr.. Annable notified her that one
of the notes fell due October 1st. and
that payment would be expected. Mrs.
Hinckey at once intervie wed the lawyer
and pronounced the signature forgery.
She also stated that she had given Row
ell. xthen acting as her attorney, $4,000 IN
bank checks. with which to pay off the
annuity note in full, anu that she had
not given the other notes, nor did she
know anything about them.
Tho notes are still in Mr.. Annabe's
hands, and no further proceed gs have
been decided upon.
A number Of other charges are also
made against Rowell, notably one to the
effect that he has bested his partner to
the extent of more than $1,000, but Judge
Brunson is out of town today and no
statement from him could kbe secured.
1t is understood, however, that he has
made the statement to several attorneys
in this city.
In all nearly $40. 200 has been discov-
cred missing in one way or another
Rowell Is an adept in the Spanish Ian
guage. and it is supposed he is headed
for Mexico, if prosecutions are begun.
