AGAINST THE WIDOW.
Chancellor Decides That Will
liam Pennington Is a Fit
Guardian for the Smith
Children.

Chancellor McGill to-day hands down a
decision in the suit of Mrs. Emma Condit
Smith, Of No. 55S West End & New
York. to have William Pennington, Of Pat
~terson, removed from the tr.isteeship of a
100000 estate Of her step-chiIdrcn, Louisa
and Sallie. Tie Chancellor declines to re.
move Mr.. Pennington Counsellors Otto
Grouse and John B. Levitt propose carrying
the case to the Court of Errors and Appeals.
Mrs. Sallic B.. Smith. first wife of George
Condit Smith, died in East Orange ia July,
1890. She left an estate Of 500, 900. Of that
sum 100000 was willed to her husband.
The remainder was given to her children,
Louisa and Saliie. In December, 1892, Wild
over Smith married the plaintiff in the pres
ent suit. On the second day of October.
1894, Mr.. Smith died, leaving his wife
guardian Of the children by his first wife.
Mrs. Smith was preparing to assume CON
troll of her step-children's estate when, un-
known to her, she alleges, her brother-in-
law, j. Condit Smith, and Cyrus Field Jud-
son, another relative, came to this city and,
appearing before Chancellor McGill. secured
the appointment of Mr.. Pennington as trus-
tee Of the children's estate. Mrs. Smith had
never been able to get along very well with
her relatives and this usurpation of her
power wldened the breach. She accordingly
brought suit for the removal of Mr.. Pen
nlngton on the ground that DE was too much
under the influence Of her relatives and
would doubtless control the estate in a man
ner preJndicial to her interests. In the suit
MRS. Smith produced her husbands will and
her counsel laid great stress on a provision
which read like this: II ask the Court to
protect my widow and children from any in
reference On the part of my brother j. Con-
dit Smith, and in the event of my wife's
death l particularly request that he shall in
no way govern or control my children or
their estates.v
Mrs. Smith also produced a letter which
had been written a month before his death
to MI. Pennington in which appeared: II
presume my relatives haye informed you
that l am not well, and are busying them
selves about my income after my death. In
such an event, l am led to believe that they
will torment my wife as / nave been tor
mented by them Notwithstanding these
facts, the Chancellor continuedMr. Penning-
ton as trustee. In his opinion he says:
1T is great pity amicablel relations do
not exist between the trustee and guardian.
No. charge is made. against the integrity of
the. trustee, or that he lacks business capa-
city. On the other hand it would appear
that he has been discreet and energetic. He
dlscla1ms any u~nfliendlineSS toward the
guardian, and the charge that he was eager
to be appointed trustee because of the enroll
uments OF the Office is scarcely sufficient to
warrant his removal. Such a condition of
affairs as prevails should induce fidelity in
the matter of preserving the interests of the
children in both guardian and trustee
case is to be carried to the Court of
Errors and Appeals at once.
