A ADEFAULTER
-
For $4,000 was Con-
greSsman Adams.
He KILLED HIMSELF
A Family Skeleton Is Dragged Into
Court al Philadelphia by The
Dead Mans Brother.

Philadelphia, Jan. 1.-THE late
Congressman Robert Adams, jr., OF
this city, who committed suicide in
Washington last year by shooting, was
on Wednesday declared in the orph.
ans court here to have been default
er TO the amount Of $4,000. The
startling assertion was made during
an argument In proceedings brought
against Carlton Adams, surviving ex.
ecutor and trustee of the estate Of his
father. Robert Adams, 81, by his step
mother, Mrs. Robert Adams. sr., and
his stepslster Mrs. Charles Moran, Of
New York.
Counsel for Carlton Adams told the
court he would show that Congress.
man Adams had appropriated 10 his
own use $4,000 worth Of bonds be.
longing to the estate Of Robert Adams,
er., and to Carlton Adams. IT was
stated that the congressman and Carl.
ton Adams had keys to a safe deposit
box in which the alleged missing
bonds had been kept and that as far
back as FIVE years, Carlton Adams had
discovered that Pennsylvania canal
bonds were missing lie notified his
brother. Robert, and the matter was
fixed up. Subsequently Carlton Ad-
ans condition became such that he
could not attend to business and mat,
ters were left in the hands OF the
congressman.
A broker testified that Congressman
Adams had pledged Pennsylvania
Canal Co. bonds valued at $4,000 for
a loan of s2,900. OF the remaining
bonds. valued at about sG0,0GO, no
trace has beer found,
1t was also claimed that part Of
the accumulated income of his fathers
estate, OF which Congressman Adams
had charge. was unaccounted for.
In proof OF his assertion the attor.
ney for Carlton Adams produced in
court a letter from the suicide con.
gressman, W. itten in Washington the
day ne ended His life, In which he said
he was sorry he had caused mess"
and urged that Carlton Adams be not
held responsible for any securities
that might be missed
II is thought that counsel, upon in.
stiuctions OF the court. will be able to
come to Satisfactory agreement
without further airing the affairs OF
the dead statesman in court.
