Representative Crows Law Suit.

Representative Grows Law Suit.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Nothing better illustrates the tendency Of
some newsgatherers to making sensational
and extravagant statements than dispatch
in a morning paper relative to law suit
instituted against the venerable congress-
man. ex-Speaker Grow. The anxiety for a
stirring story becomes 80 great at times
that writer's by their use of lurid language
actually cast aspersions on the fair name of
honorable men. The statement appears that
sensational developments are promised in
case that contain the elements of fraud and
where serious charges are made against Mr.,
Grow. This Is not such language as Is In
tended to make q favorable impression.
Stripped Of its thrilling parts. the case can
be briefly stated rs follows:
Mr.. Grow Is trustee Of an estate In which
the beneficiary and a creditor are involved
in q legal contest. The case rests entirely
on a principle Of law, which can only be
settled by a decision Of the courts where
the matter is now pending. p.
