OUTSIDERS HEDDLING
COMPLAINED OF BY HAY
Guardian of Emily Grace Killmon
Files Answer in Court.

In a statement to the court filed yes
terday. Edwin B. Hay. guardian Of Miss
Emily Grace Killmon denies her cCm-
PLANT that he is not acting \ he" best
interest. He also filed an accounting of
his guardianship. showing the condition
OF Miss Killmons estate when he took
charge of IL, and the expenditures and
receipts up to the present time.
Mr.. Hay says because of his personal
relationship with his ward he re-
pudiates the fact of the necessI: y
OF the petition in the matter and
must look upon same as the unwarranted
intermeddling of outsiders influence"
In 1901, he says, Miss Killmon filed
suit against her mother and brothers
for a partition of the property known
as 101 Pennsylvania Avenue. 1t was
arranged that the property be sold to
w. Fl. Kesler, Miss Killmon's step
father, as a home for her mother. AS
part of the purchase money Mr.. Kesler
gave Miss Killmon a note for $2,219.36,
her share of the estate. 1t was payable
in two years, with interest at per cent.
This note, he says. was secured by a
deed of trust and SO was not and is not
a pretended" promissory note, as Miss
Killmon contends.
In pursuance of his agreement Miss
Killmon. 1t is said, was to be main
tained and supported at the home OF
her mother and stepfather.
Mr. Hay emphatically denies that he
has not made any report and return of
his guardianship.
In his account, Mr.. Hay charges him
self with promissory note for 81 .36
and interest, amounting to Sl56.5e; paid
to W. II. Kesler for maintenance of Miss
Killmon, $156.56; commission due to
guardian, $14S15. He also states there
is a balance due Mr.. Kesler.
