the full blood Gilman heirs said yesterday that the
papers filed by Mrs Halls attorneys apparently
disclosed all that could be divulged 1t seemed to
be plain, Mr.. Brush said. that there no legal
adoption of Mrs. Hall by the late Mr.. Gilman
and that there was document in existence to
sustain her claim verbal promise OF adoption. hs
said, was practically impossible Of proof IN the
circumstances. and he did not think il would take
long to dispose of Mrs. Halls suits and clear the
estate of her claims
The next fight, when Mrs Hall has been put out

will be between the full blood and half blood
heirs Now that Mrs. Hall has admitted that Mr.
Gilman left no will. the heirs feel that they need
no longer make common cause in the fight against

apparently no prospect of settlement out OF COURT
