Filed in
a Suit of Anna
Bruno.

Anna Adelheide (Widemann) Bruno
was young lady of many engage
ments" If the answer filed yesterday In
| the suit OF Ernest L. Heuter. as her
/ trustee. VS.. John NJ Dowsett. is to be
believed.
The defendants answer to his ward
charge that he wrongfully retains her
| estate. is replete with sensational state
| ments. He denies in the first place
| that plaintiff owns any other property
than that described in the bill, and
alleges that she is entitled under the
| will of her father to the income for
life on the sum of $4,000. of the annual
value of $500.
Defendant admits being business
agent for Miss Widemann, and that he
had control of her property. Hesaays
also that he was informed by her of
the marriage to Alfred Z. Bruno. but
has no other knowledge. He alleges
further that the trust deed was exc
cuted and signed by plaintiff, and I'M
der it he held control of her property.
Further the defendant says: In an
swer to paragraph of the said bill, he
denies all the allegations therein con-
tanned and alleges the truth to be that
he had no knowledge of the contract of
marriage therein referred to, nor any
information as to the same, except that
prior to the execution of the said trust
deed he was informed by the said Anna
A.. u,
gagged to be married to Alfred f. Bruno,
one of the plaintiffs herein, but wheth-
er such engagement was a serious con-
tract of marriage or not this defendant
had no knowledge and could not rely
on the statement in reference thereto
of the said Anna Adelheide Widemann,
as only a short time previous to her
announcement to him of her engage
ment to the said Alfred Z. Bruno she
had informed him she was engaged to-
be married to a gentleman who resided
at New York, and this defendant had
knowledge of other engagements of
marriage of the said Anna Adelheide
Widenann-"
Defendant further denies that plain
tiff signed the trust deed inadvisedly
or in ignorance of it's contents, and says
that the said Anna Widemann is now
was a woman of extravaganza and i'm
provident habits and reckless in her ex-
penditures, and though in possession of
an income from the said property and
from the said sum of SOS, 900, sufficient
fer her maintenance in comfort, she
had, prior TO the 23rd day of May, 1901, |
incurred and ever since has been in
curing debts largely in excess of her
said income; that this defendant, |
knowing of her extravagant and reck-
less habits, and fearing that her es-
tate would be squandered and wasted, |
in good faith and for the best inter
ests of the said Anna Adelheide Wide
mann, and with no Interior purpose or
design advised the said Anna Adelheide
Widemann to execute the said trust
deed, and with full knowledge of the
nature and effect, the said Anna Adel-
heide Widemann consented to and did
freely and voluntarily execute and de-
liver same to this defendant"
Defendant admits the execution of
the trust deed to Heuter, but says that
i carries no conveyance of the prop
arty of his Ward, the legal title was
y defendant at the time.
