BENTLEY BOYS
CHISELED.
Claim Before Vice ChanoeI-
lor Pitney That They
Are Victims Of
Money Lenders.
THE MOTHER SATISFIED
The Counsel Says She Re-
ceived q Fair Price for
Her Share Of q Mort
gage.
THE MOTHER SATISFIED

For the past two days Yice-Chancellor
Pitney has been listening to case which
involves a part of the estate of Peter
Bentley, Jr., prominent lawyer of this
city, who died some years ago leaving
valuable estate. In his will he left to
his children the balance of a mortgage
for $137, 900 made by the Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania Railroad system. This, at
the time of his death, was subjected to
a life interest of his mother, Margaret
Bentley, who, at the time of his death,
was Sc years old. Peter Bentley, the
second, left the mortgage subject to a
life interest Of his wife, Emily Bentley.
Peter Bentley, the third, and Richard
Bentley, two of the children left by Pet
er Bentley, the second, sold their inter
ests in the mortgage to Philadelphia
money loaners for $40 and $640 respec-
lively. Subsequently the same Philadel-
phia men acquired the interest of Mrs.
Emily Bentley, and all the interests
came into the possession of Richard G.
Bains, of Philadelphia. Peter Bentley,
the second, left to his wife a life inter-
est in his estate with reversion to his
children. She was also made axecutrix
of the estate. The children and mother
quarrelled over the manner in which she
was managing the property. A protract-
ed law suit inswhich it was claimed that
the widow was wasting the estate was
bitterly fought through the Court of
Chancery, resulted in the removal of
Mrs. Bentley from the management of
the estate, and William A. Lewis was
appointed receiver
The balance of the mortgage upon
which the present suit was brought
amounting to $3S, 900 has been paid to
the receiver and Mr.. Bains through Pros
ecutor William H. Speer, his counsel, ap-
piled to the Chancellor for an order d.
recting the receiver to pay over to him
the twQseyenths of the amount, about
$11, 900 to which the interests which he
has purchased is worth Senator Huds-
peth for Richard and Peter the third
opposed the motion on the ground that
the boys had been deceived, and did not
get the value of their shares and that
anyhow such bargains and dealings were
against public policy.
Councilman Parker Sr., counsel for
Mrs. Peter Bentley appeared in court
this morning and stated that he made no
claim that Mrs. Bentley, who received
$500 for her interest did not get what
it was worth and she had no desire to
take part in the present proceedings.
This mornings session of the court was
taken up with the testimony of Charles
Burr, Jr., Philadelphia lawyer, who
was counsel for Mr.. Bains, who testified
to the manner in which he had figured
out the interests of the boys in the mort
gage were worth, y The Vice Chancellor
did not approve thssgpethod by which
he arrived at his conclusions and plain
ly intimated that he Thought the boys
had been "chiseled1p He and the Phil
adelphia Counsel got into heated argu-
ment during which the Vice Chancellor
talked pretty plainly.
