DEMANDS AN ACCOUNTING.
MRS. IAWLOR MAKES GRAVE ACCUSA-
TIONS AGAINST THE MANAGER
OF HER PROPERTY.

DR. Charles A. Bucklin, specialist of this city.
is the defendant in a suit trial before Justice
Chester in the Supreme Court. IN which he is
charged by his former ward. Charlotte B. Lawlor.
with shady dealing in handling her estate.
The plaintiff before her marriage 70 Joseph NJ
Lawlor Charlotte B. Newcomb. Her father
died many years ago, leaving her considerable
property. in all about 100000 In her complaint
she says that prior TO January I. 1894 her estate
was managed by her uncle George H. Neweomb-
On that date her uncle by reason OF advanced age
and general infrmity forced TO relioqulsn his
guardianship over Miss Newcomb. AT that time
he turned over to her securities and money to the
value Of about $4,000 OF this amount there was
about $1,000 in cash in the Fifth Avenue Bank.
1t was at this point that DR.. Bucklin came to the
girls rescue. He was her cousin. and had for
many years she says. been her medical adviser.
He came TO her and proffered his aid. agreeing to
look after her interests without remuneration, and
she accepted the offer Mrs. Lawlor says that she
turned over all her property 70 DIR. Bueklin. and
gave him power OF attorney She says he rep
resented that he would have to have entire control
OF her estate 70 manage Il properly. Mrs LawlOr
now charges that DR.. Buckn has never accounted
10 her for part of the income from the estate
She also asserts that he has sold certain stocks
and has not accounted for the sales.
In 1897 Mrs. Lawlor says that the Doctor got her
to sign paper giving him absolute control OF her
property for a period Of five years. In case she
died without children the property was TO pass to
him intact Soon after this Miss Newcomb married
Mr Lawlor, and she demanded accounting from
Or- Bucklln This, she says, he has neglected to
give In september, 1887. she went TO Dr. Bucklin'S
once IN answer TO a telegram He handed her
~ 40 saying that it was all the money he had as
the result of investments he had made for her. He
returned 70 her the majority of the securities with
winch she lntrUSted him. however, and also two
nrsJ mortgages on Harlem real estate. He also
offered her pronSsOTy note for S. 800 executed by
Mary Irwin and o. F. Piing. The note was
secured by chattel mortgages, but she refused the
note. on the ground that the chatteI mortgages
were usurious, and therefore not good. Mrs. Law
lor now wants the doctor to make an accounting OF
ms trusteeshlp of her property and also explain
What he did with $1,000 in cash which he drew
from the Fifth Avenue Bank. She also wants all
the deeds, assignments and transfers made by her

GOOD CHEER.
THE LESSON OF TRUST.

We learned rs days have passed me,
Fretting never lifts the load;
AND that worry, much or little.
Never smooths an irksOme road;
For you know that, somehow, always.
Doors are opened-wayS are made,
When We work and live in patience,
Under all the cross that's laid.
He who waters meadow lilies
With the dew from out the sky;
He who feeds the fitting sparrows,
When in need for food they cry,
Never fails TO help His children
In all things, both great and small;
For His ear is ever open
To our faintest far off call.
SO take UP the duty nearest
Trust and do your very best.
And you'll learn that priceless lesson,
How to leave with God the rest.
And in this. as have found it,
You will find from care release.
And in trusting, what you're needing,
Gods rich gift Of perfect peace.
