The lawyers for Mrs. Katherine Poillon

tanned an order from Justice Truax yester-
day directing Mr.. Brokaw to file an answer
to her complaint with the County Clerk
within Ave days, in default Of which ac-
ton Sheriff's jury will be impanelled to
assess the damages in Mrs Poillon's favor.
This move was explained to have been
made with a view to obtaining a verified
specimen Of Mr.. Brokaw's signature, so
that it may be compared with the hand
writing of the two hundred odd letters
which Mrs. Poillon says she received from
him.
Mrs. Poillon's lawyers have also served
a notice of trial on Eugene L. Bushe, Mr..
Brokaw's attorney Of record, and filed a
note Of issue asking for a trial Of the suit
at the October term. This step was taken
as a reply to the insinuations made by the
other side that the case would never be
brought to trial.
Mr.. Brokaw. 1t was announced yesterday,
has retained additional counsel to defend
the suit. He already had Mr.. Bushe and
Howe 4 Hummel. The Others are Carl
Fischer Hansen, John F. Mcintyre and
Edward A. Alexander. Carl Fischer Han
sen is related by marriage to Mr.. Brokaw
These lawyers held a short conference
yesterday afternoon. but had no state
ment to make concerning their proposed
defence.
Mrs Poillon says that her mail ia being
encountered every day with letters from
cranks and well-wishers Some OF the
notes threaten her, she says

investigation made by the State shows
that John w Fillmore. who died at Maui
rers, near Perth Amboy, on Wednesday,

Fillmore on Wednesday night. says that
George Loeser, manager of the Excelsior
Grove Hotel, at Maurers, attacked Fill
more and beat him about the head
1t was Loeser who first reported the case
to the authorities. He said that he had
merely pushed the man from the hotel
porch, and later had found him dead The
authorities have learned that Alphonse
DeLeon found Fillmore's body.
Loeser has been held without bail for
the Grand Jury.
Fillmore was an Englishman. He went
