LITIGATION HAS ALMOST
EATEN C0RBlN'S MILLIONS.
Estate of Railroad Ma4nate. Kept in
Courts by Daughter. Has
Dwfnd1ed to Thousands.

| REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Riverhead n. Y. Dec. 2l.-The personal
fortune of the late Austin Corbin, esti-
mated at the time Of his death as upward
of $4.0O0.OGo has now shrunk into the thou
sands. a condition entirely due TO the con-
slant litigation which has gone on since
the will Of the Long Island railroad mag
nate was first filed.
To-day Judge Nathan d. Petty of the
Suffolk County Surrogate's Court entered
decree settling the second judicial ac-
counting of the executors and trustees of
the estate.
Mrs. Anna Corbin Borrowe, daughter of
the late Austin Corbin, is the only member
Of the family who has kept the estate in
the courts. Since the will was offered for
probate Mrs. Borrowe has fought it con-
stantly.
As fast as executors have obtained IA
vorable rulings she has taken appeals. and
unless she is conciliated there appears to
be no way OF getting the matter out of the
courts for good many years to come.
The first apprisal of the personal wealth
OF Mr.. Corbi1. made in 1897. put ii at a.

KRATZ'a ARGUMENT
Carroll denies at length that Kratz had
any dealings whatsoever with the sub-
urban Railroad bill, either personally o,
through agents. Referring to the Mey-
senberg trial. which he says caused Kratz
to flee. he says:
"kratz saw the result Of this trial in
the lower court and was cognizant Of
the state Of public opinion. The Circuit
Attorney was proclaiming from the house,
tops Cruelty" and the yellow journals,
moved by a desire to sell their wares, were
adding fuel to tie flames.
THE Bible had told Kratz that public
opinion had crucified Christ. and his mind
was made up quickly. He had asked n
continuance and had been denied. as also
was his motion for a change Of venue.
and in his own mind there was nothing
left but to get away temporarily until the
storm had blown over
