Contest in the Fullerton Estate Case

The following despatch from Chi
cago appeared in the New York Her
aid of Tuesday: Charges that Martha
S. Hill practised a fraud on the heirs
of the late Charles w. Fullerton when
she induced one of them, Silas p
Hubbell, to sign away his interest in
the estate, were made in a bill filed
in the United States Circuit court to-
day. The complainant is Mr.. Hubbell
of New York, a nephew of the dead
millionaire, who says he was fraudu-
lently induced to deed his half interest
in the 100000 estate to the defend
ant. He asks the federal judges to de-
clare this deed void and to restrain
Miss Hill from claiming any rights in
the property. Martha Hill was a step
sister, and housekeeper for the mil
llonaire real estate dealer at his home,
on the north side, and when he died,
in December. 1900, without leaving a
will, 1t was rumored that she had a
claim on his property. Two nephews,
Sllas and Sidney Hubbell appeared
from New York, however, and by
proving their relationship as the near
est heirs at law, each claimed a half
interest in the estate. In a bill filed
in the federal court Silas Hubbell of
New York, says he was deprived of
his share of the estate through mis-
representations made by Miss Hill.
Mr.. Hubbell, in his suit says he sign
ed away his interest in the estate for
100000, under the representation
q that his share in the estate would not
exceed that amount He received, he
says, $4,000 cash and a note for a
similar amount.
