untary.

1.-The charge. that I or any other mem
Der of the Womans Foreign Missionary
Society used coercion, fraud. or undue
influence upon Mrs. Alice D. MeGaw,
resulting In her making her win in favor
Of the society and disinneriting certain
heirs, is absolutely without foundation. %
This statement was made today 10 a
Times reporter by Mrs. Lydia II. Tnton,
who, together with Miss Hettie II.
Fague and Miss Amelia Z. Huntley. are
named in a suit to break the viii OF the
aged woman, filed yesterday by her
grandson. Robert McCaw, OF New York.
TIE petition alleges that through undue
influence exerted upon Mrs. McCaw by
the above named trustees of the So
city. and other officers Of the organi-
cation not mentioned, Mrs. McCaw's
estate, valued at about $4,000. was be-
queathed 10 the WOmen's Foreign Mis-
sionary Society OF the Metropolitan Ne
mortal NJ. e. Church. The suit against
the organization is filed with a view Of
contesting the viii before it is admitted
to probate.
Il have never talked to Mrs. McCaw
concerning her will in my life nor do I
believe that the subject was ever broach-
ed by any other members Of the So
ciety. The act was entirely voluntary
upon her part and the charges made by
her grandson on behalf Of the other
heirs are preposterous-"
Mrs. MeGaw during her entire life
was devoted to the advancement OF
foreign missions.
Il wish to deny emphatically, how
ever. that we used any influence upon
Mrs. McGaw. nor have ew ever dis
cussed the subject of a win with her in
any shape

named, could not be found today, bat
