HER CONTEMPT PALPABLE
AS SHE rs A WOMAN SHE WAS
SPARED BY THE COURT.

In answer to the citation issued by
Judge Coffey, Eliza NJ Miller, admins
tratrix of the estate OF the late Alexander
p. More, appeared in court yesterday
morning to show cause why she should
not file her final account Mrs. Miller was
called TO the stand and the court imme-
diately called her to account for state
ments she had made rejecting on his con-
duct in the case. Mrs. Miller admitted
having expressed her opinion OF the &C
tons of the court as published, whereupon
Van r. Paterson arose and demanded her
suspension as executrix on the ground
that her prejudice and evident misman-
agement OF the estate were resulting in
great damage to other heirs. Judge Cot
of court, but as she was a woman the
court was indisposed TO punish her. Judge
Coffey also said that he would not sus-
pend her, as II would only complicate
matters and she was allowed to remain
In power.
Mrs. Miller then presented an answer to
the citation requiring her to render her
final account as administrative. She al
legged that II was impossible for her to
settle the estate at the present time, as
such settlement was prevented by a suit
pending in the Supreme Court, by which
II. Clifford More. as administra Dor Of the

heirs then stipulated that the claim be

The case then went over till next Wednes-
day, and in the meantime an effort will
be made by Mrs. Miller TO reach an agree

Mrs Miller denies that Helen X. Rowe's
