Better an old mans darling than
a young mans slave" runs the old
song.
Probably Martha E. Lewis will con
cur, but Mrs. Grace McGoodwin
Brown, daughter-in-law of the late
Samuel S. Brown, Smoky City mag
nate and multi-millionaire, can hard
ly be expected to.
Idolized and petted by her father
fn-law for Is years, taught to con
slider herself his heiress, and intro
duced everywhere as his daughter, she
finds herself left paltry $4,000
while her supplanter, Martha E
Lewis, has been given a sum exceed
ing $250,000.
And a contest in the courts which
will enrich lawyers and furnish sensa
tions to satisfy the most scandal
hungry dame is promised.
For Mrs. Brown and all the rela.
tives of the dead millionaire assert
that his latest will, executed on his
death bed, was made under undue
influence and is unjust and unfair.
Worth Over $50, 100000.
Samuel S. Brown died last Deem
Der. He left an estate scattered all
the way between Pittsburg, New York
and New Orleans which is conserva
lively estimated at $20,000,000. He
also left will which is the bone OF
contention.
Mrs. Brown, young widow Of the
dead magnate's only son, had been
told that she was to be his bene
ficiary. A -goodly portion of the
estate was to have been hers. Yet
when the will was read, she found
herself cut off with paltry batch OF
brewery bonds, and these to go should
she remarry.
But Miss Lewis, bitter enemy of the
millionaire's daughter-in-law, bene
flied to the extent of a quarter of a
million and more. She had already
supplanted the beautiful Kentucky
belle as the head of the old mans
household before his death. That was
the last straw; then came the open
breach.
1t is strange story-how these two
young women came into the life OF
the millionaire. There were son
