CALLED To ACCOUNT.
An Attempt to Defraud Carrie
Sankey of Her Inheritance.
HER GUARDIAN LAYS CLAIM TO ALL OF IT..
A Story that Recalls Litigation that was
Once the Talk of Three States
The Court Asked to Protect
Miss Sankey.

SAN Francisco, April 22-Miss Car
ne Sankey has filed a suit charging
that she has been defrauded of valu-
able inheritance by her guardian,
Charles ). Coggins and his wife, Marie
Coggins. The frauds complained of ex-
tend over a period of years and form
the sequel to litigation. which was once
the talk of three states.
Carrie Sankey fell heir to a consider
able fortune through the death of
Samuel Sanl1ey in 1886. She was an
adopted daughter of the deceased, and
At the time of his death was about IA
years of age. Sankey died in Pennsyl-
vania. and left property in that state,
in Illinois and in California.
After the death of Sanlxey his heirs
filed for probate the will which was
made shortly the subject of an exciting
contest. The will disinherited the
adopted daughter, who was the only
heir-at-law, and bequeathed the entire
estate to others, who, in the absence of
= will, would have had no right of in
heritance.
The will was first attacked in the
courts of this city by attorneys repre-
senting the disinherited daughter. As
q result of this contest the will was set
aside, Miss Sankey being declared en-
titled to inherit the entire estate.
Similar contests made in Pennsylva-
mia and Illinois also resulted in
favor of the daughter. and some
five years ago she found herself
possessed of clear title to the entire es-
tate. From that time until July, 1898,
she lived at the home of her guardian,
Coggins.
From birth Miss Sankey has been of
feeble intelligence. While an inmate
OF the Coggins household she suffered
a stroke of paralysis, which further inn
paired her mental condition. The Cog
gins are said to have taken advan-
tage of the girls weak mind to work
upon her fears. She was told that she
was suffering from heart disease and
likely to die at any time. 1t was repre-
sented that in the event of her death
all her property would go to the heirs
of her foster father. 1t was because of
this repres entation, says Miss Sankey
that she permitted her money and
property to stand in the name of Cog
gins as her trustee.
The complaint shows that the prop
erty conveyed by Miss Sankey is now
claimed by Coggins and his wife as
their separate property. They have
refused to make any conveyance. and
Coggins declines to furnish any ac-
counting of his acts as guardian.
MISS Sankey asks the court to declare
the defendants guilty of fraud. She
requests further order declaring null
and void all gifts and conveyances, and
finally demands an accounting and
judgment for such amount of money as
IN accounting shall show to be due.

NEW YORK, April 21-Wheat opened with
little excitement and no special feature beyond
cent advance in prices following a sharp rise
Of second and third in Liverpool cables The
latter was puzzling to the trade in view OF
higher consolS and attributed partly to bad
European crop news. May wheat in this mar
ket opened at sl14c. and later sold up to size
The prevailing sentiment was bullish. War
news was somewhat sensational and other mar
ket influences have begun to attract the atten-
ton of speculative traders once more
CHICAGO, April 21.-For the third day in sue
cession there was rather exciting opening in
the wheat market. The amazing strength dis
played by the Liverpool market was almost the
exclusive factor. First sales of May were made
at 4h@95c substantially Mondays closing
price. The price sagged down to 74ssc for a
moment or two, under heavy selling but this
disposed of, the market showed signs of re-
newed strength. and by 10 o'clock had advanced
to 76c. There it hesitated. but only for mo-
ment When the startling advance in second
cables was posted May jumped instantly TO 1884, C
exactly 2l2c above last night's closing Other
bull news was present in abundance. Little at
tention was paid to the war news The mar
ket showed great nervousness and two minutes
after selling at 76ac it had reacted to 76c. An
other moment two OF hesitation then the
market gradually settled to 75s4c. Nav corn
opened at PAX and advanced to 24h@25c NAV
oats opened at 1assc and advanced TO I75sc. Pro-
Visions were sluggish May pork opened at
