MAY Be A FORGERY.
Sensational Claims Set Up in
Which a Detective in Dis
quise Fjuures, 49,

Akron. O.. Jan. 1S.-An important
turn has been taken in the case in
which Mrs. s. J. Richie is trying to
have the executor of the estate of the
late Il. w. Cornell discharged. II is
now alleged that the will was a for
gerry and that a man named Aungst,
who was given a note for $4,000 al
legged to bear the signature of the late
multi millianaire, was detective in
the disguise of a nurse. 1t is also
alleged that the note was a forgery.
1t Is further claimed that two of the
signers to the will as witnesses never
saw Cornell sign the document. An
effort is being made to have the pro-
batting of the will set aside, If this
should be done it would raise numer-
Gus complications, as most of the es-
tate has already been distributed
among the heirs.
The trouble grows out of the effort of
Mrs. Ritchie to get possession of $500
coo of Canadian Copper company stock
that was put no with Cornell as secul'-
ity for loan made her husband. 1t Is
alleged that the loan was settled, but
Cornell kept the stock. The case In
different features has been in liti-
cation for several years. There are
also cases OF the same nature against
Judge Stevenson Burke, of Cleveland.
alleging that he holds stock worth sew
eral hundred thousand dollars that
belongs to the Ritchies.

Evenins.-Prominent Men
Asked to Attend.

Arrangements for the observance of
Mckinley day on January 20 in Canton
are shaping themselves into definite
form and efforts are on foot to make
the occasion one of note.
A meeting of the advisory board of
the local memorial association was
held in the association rooms Friday

suggested for the observance Of the
day, it was resolved that respect to the
memory of the dead president should
be shown in a meeting of the people
to be held in the tabernacle in the
evening of that day.
Contrary to the contemplated plans,
the day will not be observed as legal
holiday. The banks, factories and
other institutions will not be asked to
close and the only observance. except
in the public schools, will be the popu-
lar meeting at night.
