New York, Feb. 27.--How it all came
about since yesterday no one can tell
no one knows. but that Wilson Mlz-
ner and former Mrs. Chas Yerkes
have been reconciled since she de-
clared "a hours previous that their
marriage was an awful mistake Is
an accomplished fact.
1T was conspiracy to separate us,
but 1t failed" said Mrs. Yerkes Miz.
/ ner tonight in the Hotel Netherlands,
as she sat looking lovingly into the
! blue eyes of her athletic young hus-
band at little dinner she gave in
that hotel wherein she had lived for
several wears with her first husband
Charles r. Yerkes.
They told me all sorts of dreadful
things about Wilson" she added "and
foolshly, | credited them until | had
| them Investigated and found they
we're all false. Please don't say we are
reconciled," she continued coyly, "be.

HE Was Good to Me-
Don't lot any more of those unkind
things be said about MIN. He was al
ways good to me, and the stories that
he abused me and that We quarreled
over money matters are absolutely
untrue He never asked me for cent
either before or after our marriage
but all have Is his If he wishes t.
With that Mrs. Yerke3- Miner left
the hotel with her husband and they
were driven back in her own auto
mobile to her Ffta avenue home, in
which vehicle the couple had driven
itiuui iNo hours before 70 the hotel.
From a friend who was present Al
the dinner II was learned that Mrs.
Yerkes-Mizner had discovered in the
scheme to separate her from her
Young husband one of the deepest and
most desperate plots, involving mil
lions than anything related In the
wcirdest romance.
"Finding More Money"
longing 10 the estate every day" II Is
reported she said. For example only
today | discovered some keys TO de-
post vaults that had been hidden
away by Mr.. Yerkes. am sure they |
will add millions to the value of the |
estate. MIR. Yerkes was a gieat man
for hiding things. He would pu' |
things in all sorts of odd corners. We /
have found clues 10 large sums In
England and goodness konws how
much more we shall find before we
are through. 1t was lucky that through
the advice of Mr.. Miner consulted
a distinguished lawyer before had
definitely decided TO withdraw as trus-
lee aud executriX Of Mr. Yerkes' will.
II had no idea when I listened TO
The advice of persons | believed 80
be my friends and half agreed to re-
meant. Since then | have learned that
L would have put me in position
where almost anything could have
been done TO the estate and | should
have been powcrless TO intervene. r.
Iayc not had much exper encf in the
ways Of the world and believed ii
would be better for me 10 withdraw
IS trustee and save myself all the
rouble and annoyance and work that
he office would entail on me.
"Hutband Saved Me-"
II was told that Il meant only the
signing away Of enc per cent. That
conveyed no meaning 10 me. and Il
vas only when asked the advice of
ny husband that ! learned Il meant
nm OF at least $4,000 a year. pro.
fiding the estate was worth only sIO.-
10000 and not S50OO0.0el. a. be.

awyers In New York. who used to act
