CONSPIRACY CHARGED.
Parties Accused of Involving
..StrattOn Estate for Profit.

Colorado Springs, Colo. Sept. 3d.
Counsel for the executors in the already
famous litigation over the estate of the
late W. S. Stratton have taken a step
that is in all respects the most sensa-
tional yet taken in the controversy.
Formal charges of conspiracy to Involve
the Stratton estate in litigation for the
profit of persons interested IN no way
in the estate are brought against Messrs
H. M. Blackmere and G. c. Haml1n, TWO
of the administrators appointed by
Judge Orr, Blackmere being declared To
have already put up considerable money
of his own in an effort to carry out the
terms of a deliberate and fraudulent
conspiracy entered into with view OF
specializing upon the will of the estate
A charge is made that the court itself.
the judge of which is a brots>er-in-la
of o. P. Grimes, the third administrator
to collect, has shown itself biased and
and the demand is made that the action
be taken out of this court and referred
to the district court of Ell Paso county.
Of an answer to the petition of the ad-
illustrators to collect as a result of
which citations to appear in the county
court and show cause for their refusal
to recognize the administrators to col
lect were issued on Saturday. Messrs.
Tyson s. Dimes, of Denver, D, H. Rice
and Carl S. Chamberlain, of this city,
executors named in the will of Mr.
|
tions and will appear in the court. 1t
is declared by their attorneys here that
they will go to Jail for contempt of
court rather than accede to the order
to turn over the affairs of Mr.. Stratton
to these administrators.
The answer filed further charges that
former Governor c. s. Thomas. of Dem
ver, is attorney for the administrators
to collect appointed by the court and
also for certain persons who intend and
have long intended to bring suit against
the Stratton estate involving practically
the entire estate. The administrators
to collect, Blackmere and Hamlin
are declared to be financially interested
in company which is declared to have
entered into contracts with young
Stratton by which they assure all ex,
pense Of litigation, guarantee him the
$4,000 allowed him in the will and Sc
cure the right, to involve the estate In
litigation for their own profit.
The bond in the sum of SO, 900, 900 which
was given by the administrators to COL
lect is made an object of attack. 1t is
declared that the statutes of Colorado
prohibit any bonding company from,
writing bond in excess of half it's
capitalization and that the aggregate
capitalization of the companies who
have written these bonds is but four
millions.
