VIEWED BODY IN COFFIN
Artist Paints Portrait of Dead Man and
Now Wants Widow to Pay
special to The Herald.

special to The Herald
NEW YORK, Dec. 2-An order for
portrait of dead man has resulted
in suit by the artist, which was
called for trial today. Miss Margaret
L. Scott, a painter, demands $500 bal
ance from Mrs. C. w. Miller, whose
husband was president Of an iron man
ufacturing corporation at Poughkeepsie.
Miss Scott Is daughter of the Scots
of Scottville, q celebrated Alabama
family. She studied for several years
in Paris, and was for one year presi-
dent of the Woman's Art association
of Paris.
Miss Scott, through her lawyer, re-
lates that in February, 1901, Mrs. Mil
Ter called at her studio with Mrs. E. H.
Low to look at a portrait of Mr.. Low,
to which Miss Scott was giving the fin
ishing touches. Mrs. Miller then spoke
of her wish that Mr.. Miller sit to Miss
Scott for his portrait.
In April following Miss Scott was
called to the Millers' home, East Sew
enty-sixth street She was told that
Miller was dead and that his widow
greatly desired Miss Scott to make a
portrait of him.
By appointment Miss Scott called
next day. saw Mr.. Millers body in the
coffin and studied 1t for an hour or
more prior TO the funeral.
Some days later Miss Scott called on
Mrs. Miller, whom she had not seen on
her other two visits, and the women
talked )ver the matter of the painting.
Mrs Miller gave the artist some faded
snapshot pictures of her husband, and
des' ibed certain peculiarities of his
fig. .re, his stopping shoulders and his
thin legs. She called In his little daugh-
ter to show her hands, which, she said,
resembled those of her father.
Next day Miss Scott received a COM
plete outfit of Mr.. Milers garments,
shoes, stockings, shirts-even to his col
lar and cuff buttons and his under
wear.
Miss Scott says she employed eight
models to pose in Mr. Miller's clothing.
and finally produced eight pastel
sketches for criticism. Finally, work
ing from an approved sketch, she did
the full-length portrait in oils. On jan
uarY 16, 1902. Mrs. Miller saw this pic
turS, accepted it, and a few days later
wr$te an enthusiastic letter, congrat-
-Iil4ting Miss Scott upon her victory
over difficulties and asking for her bill
Miss Scott replying, said she usually
trait, and because of the circumstances
at the time of the giving of the order
precluded bargaining, she would make
the price the low figure.
Mrs. Miller responded with a check
for $1,000, and her man of business, Fer
dinand r. Balm of Poughkeepsie, in
formed Miss Scott that that must be
regarded as payment in full. So when
Miss Scott sued, she charged $250O for
the work and now demands $500 bal
ance,

INITIATED BY Fo0TPADS
Student Who Thought He Was john
ing Secret Society Sand
bagged

CARLISLE, Pa, Dec. 2.-Going to
be initiated into Greek letter frater-
nifty of Dickinson college today, with
anticipations of tortures that might
equal the Spanish inquisition, gorge
A. Weaver, freshman in the law
school, was prepared for rough treat
ment. When he awoke in an alley
after ar hours unconsciousness from -
sandbag blow, bleeding, and relieved of
his money, without even having got in
side the fraternity house, he concluded
that his initiation had not only been
unduly premature, but altogether too
strenuous.
AS Weaver was passing West Church
alley two men accosted him. One
grabbed him by the arm, and put his
hand over his mouth
Aren't you starting a little early,
boys" he spluttered between the mans
fingers, thinking the initiatory cere-
monies We're commencing sooner than
he had expected.
The answer was blow over the fore
head with a sandbag which knocked
him unconscious.
The assallants dragged Weaver into
the alley, rifed his pockets, got $26 and
escaped.
