: It was in March, 1904, that the late1
Charles c.. Sanderson eloped to Provi-
u dence with Mrs. Carrie L.. J ohnson, and
a month later $4,000 was transferred
by Mr. Sanderson to Mrs. johnson g
son, and on the same day retransferred
by HIM to his mother. This property
Mrs. Ella A. Chase, daughter of Mr..
Sanderson, is trying to get, and the
trial has developed remarkable story
of how the widow won the rich old
man, laying siege to his affection I'M
mediately after the death Of her first
husband to whose grave MIR. Sander
son used to drive her.
Even more startling is the story told

have been her fos-
ter father, died recently, and in his will
left only $500 for the fair Marie! Mr..
johnson was at one time very rich
man, and lived in West Roxbury, where
his widow still lives. Marie has been
in hard luck for number of years,
and good part Of the time her sup
posed foster father looked after her. It
was not until the amount Of the legacy
left her was made known that the
actress told the world her true rela-.
tion-that she was in reality his own
child, that his wife knew it, and that
the relations existing between all three
had been pleasant. She also explained
the apparent shrinkage in her father s
estate, and there appears to be little
prospect of contest.
