FIGHT NOT YET ENDED.
Still Squabbling Over Millionaire
COrbin's Estate.
REFEREE FOR EXECUTORS.
Report Not Approved by the Court
Railroad Mans Daughter, Who
Brings Action, Is the Wife Of
Hallett Alsop Borrsws.

Riverhead. N. Y, Feb. 3.-Before Sur
rogate Petty lawyers argued all Satur-
day afternoon over the report of James
n. Bedford, the referee in the contest
between the executors of Austin Corbin's
estate and Mrs. Anna Corbin Borrowe,
the wife Of Hallett Alsop Borrowe. The
referees report sustained the executors
and their settlement of the estate, but
his report was not approved, and further
argument will be heard.
BY Mr.. Corbin's will the estate was
divided about equally among his heirs,
the residuary estate going to the chill
dren after the death of Mrs. Corbin.
When the executors filed an accounting
in June, 1893, placing the value of the
personal ectate at $1,600,000, Mrs. Bor-
rowe put ~ bill Of objections. alleging
long list Of Irregularities on the part Of
the executors.
Says There Was differentiation.
She alleged that her fathers estate
had been undervalued greatly and that
his large holdings in the Long Island rail
road had been sold much below their
real value. She said that his interests in
the Corbin Banking company had been
allowed to suffer and charged that the
executors had acted against her inter-
ests. One of the items in dispute amounts
to 100000. Mrs. Borrows says this
should be charged against the executors.
At the time she filed her bill of objee-
tons her husband was with the Rough
Riders in Cuba. He became a sergeant
and had charge Of the dynamite gun. He
| had lived strenuous life, and the slight
wound he received in the Spanish A meri-
can war was only slight incident in his
career.
His father, Samuel Borrowe, was sec.
ond vice president Of the Equitable Life
Assurance society. Young Borrowe left
Columbia university fired with the am.
bition to be great artist. He went
abroad to study and came back man
of the world. When the Coleman-Drar

his connection with some of the same Of

are held. Detective Hodges says that all

TELLS STRANGE STORY

ONCE A NEW YORK BROKER.
Now He In Dying In Chicago-says
His Father Is q Naval Omcer-Mar-
ried a Girl STA Years Ago, but
Lost His Fortune Since.

Chicago, Feb. 3.-Once Wall street
broker with fortune estimated at $780,
600, Charles Johnston, or Gladding, as
he now declares his name to be, was re-
moved from scene CT dire poverty to
the Detention hospital, where he is dying
raving mailman.
To his heartbroken wife, who is only
"a, it seemed only fortnight ago, when
she related their story amid her poverty
and suffering, when she was the happy
bride of the wealthy and prosperous
broker.
Six years ago Helen Richter lived with
her parents in 112 East One Hundred
and Twenty-frst street, New York. She
was the possessor Of medal won for
her ability to play the piano. She was
the master of six languages, and she was
favorite in society circles. Her ia
ther died, and her mother married Sam
uel Spellman, founder Of large whole
sale silk house.
Married Against Parents Wishes.
She met Charles Johnston, or Glad
ding, and in time was married to him,
much against the wishes Of her parents.
Luck went against young Johnston,
and he lost his fortune. Misfortune over
took him at every step, and he came to
Chicago with his wife and two children
without funds or friends. He worked at
any and every thing to support his fam
lily.
Today the happy bride of six years ago
is covering in one little room in the rear
of 81 Norton street, knowing not which
way to turn. Friday a policeman came
and took her husband IN tho Detention
hospital.

young mother as she soothed the fretful
cries of her 2-month-old babe. BY her
side knelt Harold, bright little fellow
Of years, and Florence, black eyed
girl of 4.
Before Johnston was removed to the
hospital he rallied for a time and told
his wife he had done her great wrong.
my name is not Johnston" the wife
said he told her. my name Is Glad

the United States cruiser Potomac and
veteran of the civil war. Ny father

Mrs. Johnston believes the story told
by her husband. She says there was a
mystery about him when they were mar
ried which caused her stepfather to file
bitter objections against the marriage.
She says her parents are wealthy, but
they will not assist her.
