A suit making sensational charges has
been begun in the Hennepin district court
Henry Willis Phelps Jr., Annie w. Pratt
and Lucy Tomlinson against Henry w
Phelps individually as trustee of the
$25OOOO estate of the late Willis Phelps
The suit is sensa tional in that the
plaintiffs are the children of the defend
ant and grandchildren of the deceased;
also in that they charge their father
with having converted to his private
uses over $62,71 belonging to the funds
of the estate. The complaint, therefore,
asks for an accounting of all Of the de-
PENDANTS transactions as executor, for
the discharge of the defendant as execu-
tor and for such other relief as the court
deems just.
The complaint alleges: That the late
Willis Phelps, whose home was in Massa-
chusetts, by will, appointed the defendant
and two others as executors; that one of
the others died and the second resigned,
leaving the estate entirely in the hands
of the defendant. 1t is also charged
that the defendant has frequently violat-
ed his trust as executor First, in that he
has appropriated to his own use sums be-
longing to the estate; and, second, in
that he has failed to pay taxes upon its
holdings. Among the charges of misap-
preparation are the following: That
the defendant in 1888 sold certain Cass
county, North Dakota, lands, accounting
for only a small portion of the lands
sold; that in 1887 he sold 100000 in Oteo
county, Nebraska, bonds for $780, which
he failed to account for in any way; that
again he sold property in Springfield,
Mass, for $4,000 and put the money in
his own pocket. At other times he sold
or disposed. of railroad stock appraised
at $4,000. notes of the value Of nearly
$1,000 and other minor assets, failing,
according to the complaint, to account
for the same, and appropriating the
money to his own use.
The estate has been through much liti-
cation, having once come up upon the in
depreciation of the will, which left a half
Of the income Of the estate, after deduct
ing certain small legacies, to each of the
two sons of the testator, who were also
executors.
