K. Dickson, formerly pastor of the War
rem Avenue Baptist Church. Boston. and
his counsel, Gen. Edgar 3. Champfn, each
filed to-day his answer to the charges
contained in the petition of Grant A. Am
norman and Mary T. zimmerman, heirs
of the late Ella NJ zimmerman, of Wor-
cester, that $4,000 In bonds, which had
been transferred by Mrs zimmerman 10
Mr.. Champlin as a bequest TO Mr.. Dick
son under her will, be returned to them.
Mr.. Dickson declares that no will Of
Mrs. zimmerman other than the one pro-
bated in Worcester has ever been accred-
tied anywhere. He admits that the $1,000
was transferred to Mr. Champlin for him,
but denies that there was any undue IT,
fiuence on his part. With reference to a
suit brought by Mrs. Dickson against Mrs.
zimmerman for alleged alienation of af-
fections, Mr.. Dickson declared it 'imma-
terial, seandalous, and impertinent"
Mr.. Champlin. in his reply. admits the
transfer of the $50 900, but says the matter
was first suggested TO him by Mrs Am
norman, and that Mr.. Dickson knew
nothing about IL. Mrs. zimmerman was
the widow of the late Representative Am
norman, OF Scranton, Pa, and her friend
