NEW YORK, March Sit was

failed" said Mrs. Yerkes-MIzner last
night In the Hotel Netherland, Fifty
ninth street and Fifth avenue. as she
sat looking lovingly into the big blue
eyes of her athletic young husband at
a little dinner she gave in that hote,,
wherein she had dwelt in the most
magnificent suite for several years
with her first husband, Charles T,
Yerkes
They told me all sorts OF dreadful
things about Wilson" she added, and
foolishly l credited them until ! started
an investigation and found they were
all false.
Not So Black as Painted.
please do not say we are reunited,
because we never were separated. We
had a little quarrel It Is true, but L
love him and ! have found out that
he Is not so black as he had been
painted.
Don't let any more of those unkind
things be said about him" she pleaded.
He was always good to me, The
stories that he abused me and that We
quarreled over money matters are alb
solutely untrue. He never asked me
for q cent. either before or after our
marriage, and gave me only what L

From Il friend who was present at
| the dinner 1t was learned later that
! Mrs, Yerkes- Miner had discovered In
| the scheme to separate her from her
husband a plot involving more millions
than any ever related in the wclrdest
| romance.
why, we are finding more money
| belonging to the estate every day" il Is
reported she said For example. only
| safe deposit vaults that had been hid
den away by Mr. Yerkes that | am sure
| Will add millions to the value OF the
estate. Mr.. YerkeS was a great man
! for hiding things He would put
things In all sorts of odd corners, AL
ready we have found clues to large
sums in England and goodness knows
| we are through.
TT was lucky that through the ad-
/ vice of Mr., Miner. l consulted a dis
| interested lawyer before | definitely de-
| cided 10 withdraw as trustee and ex-
| eCutriX OF Mr.. Yerkes's Will. / had no
| Idea what 1t meant when l listened
| to the advice OF persons l believed to be
my friends and half agreed TO relin-
! quish the duties Of trustee Since then
l have learned that such action on my
part would have put me in ii position
! where almost anything could have been
| done TO the estate. and | should have
| been powerleSs TO intervene.
Nearly Signed Away Big Sum
II have not had much experience in
| the ways of the world, and / believed
! it would be better for me TO do as I
! was told and withdraw as trustee in
| order to save myself all the trouble and
work that office would bring upon me.
| i was told that 1t meant only the sign
! Ing away of l per cent. That conveyed
| no meaning to me and it was only
wheE l asked the advice OF my hus-
| band that / learned 1t meant sum OF
at least $4,000 a year. providing the
! estate was worth only SO COO 600 and
not $50 600 600, as / believe.
Then | consulted one of the best
! lawyers in New York who used to act
| for Mr. YerkeS. On his advice I hastily
| revoked my decision to withdraw
| was only just In time. Two days more
| and l should have been out. I have
had n terrible experience. Three per-
| sons In Chicago, one here and one In
Philadelphia have been naggIng me and
| trying TO persuade me TO get out, but
| luckily | withstood them all 1 must,
| however thank Wilson that | escaped.
AT first I doubted him / kept re-
| ceiving such awful reports about his
| past career that | was almost frantic.
| One would tell me one thing and an
| other another ] didn't know what to
| do. Every person seemed so dlsInter-
csted and so anxious to be my friend
| that I grew suspicious / started an
| investigation of my own and found that
the stories had been vastly eXagger-
