ALBERT AFONG
MAKES A REPLY

I :
affidavit in the suit being prosecuted
by Bessie r. Burns against Julia H.
Along and others.
Since October. 1906, he has lived with
his wife, and since May, 1907, with his
wifes mother also, at the old Along
homestead, Nuuanu avenue and School
street. Since October, 1906, his
mother, Mrs. Julia H. Along, has lived
at Laimi, Nuuanu Valley. All of the
I time he has lived at the Along place
| he has paid, out of his own funds,
all the expenses of keeping up the
| place, excepting the wages of a yard
man at s. a week and the payment
! by his mother, since the dissolution
! of the injunction in the case last Au-
gust, of s1045.04 as the cost of certain
plumbing and painting.
His mother has not during said Pc
Rod contributed WHISTLES, wines, cor
| diais or champa gnes for his sideboard
| or for his table, with the sole excep-
ton that she once gave him one bottle
| of fancy white wine. Neither had she
| furnished him with any provisions ex-
cepting not more than two or three.
bags OF rice. 1t is also denied that
| his mother lavished gifts of clothes
or luxuries upon Mrs. Whiting, depo-
nent's mother-in-law, with the sole
exception of one piece of grass linen
goods.
Ever since December, 1904, Albert
says he has been acting as attorney
in fact for his mother. He is familiar
with her business and says she is Of
sound mind and able to consider and
determine questions arising in her at
fairs excepting as to legal points. At
no time since his return from college
in the Eastern States in 1904 has his
mother lavished upon or made to this
deponent gifts in the sum of $4,000,
or in any other sums with the follow
ing EXCEPTIONS:
l. A gift of $4,000 for a seat in the
Honolulu Stock Exchange in 1906.
g.. A gift of fifty-nine shares of
Oahu Sugar 20 in 1905.
3. About $500 at the time of his
marriage.
The making of these gifts was gen.
orally known in the Along family.
Deponent's mother paid the expenses
of his education, as she did all ex-
penses- of the education of her other
children.
Deponent corrects statements of the
-so-called trust Accommodations made by
complainant. The fund remains in
tact and as it was at the time of the
Institution of this suit with the fol-
lowing exceptions:
l. The 100 shares of Judd Building
Co. stock, the ten shares of First Ma
tional Bank of Chicago stock and the
twenty-five shares of National City
Bank. of New York stock have been
sold since the date of the compromise
agreement referred to in the affidavit
of Mrs Burns.
2. The cash on hand at the institu-
ton of this suit was about $1,000 and
not $4,000, and that cash and the pro-
ceeds of the stocks as above had been
applied toward the payment of the
following sums, as made necessary by
the compromise agreement: Four sums
of $4,000 each to Nancy McStocker, |
Marie HUMPHREYS, Carrie Riggs and
Emmeline Magoon; an attorneys fee
of $4,000 to ]. J. Dunno, attorney for
Julia H. Along; an attorneys fee of |
$4,000 to w. T. Rawlins, attorney for
certain respondents; a total of attor-
neys' fees of $4,000 to r. w. Breckons
dilu "A. w. NJ INOpcItSoi, az loiHeyS lot
Carrie Riggs and Nancy McStocker,
and, for the rest, advances to Mrs.
Julia H. Along for maintenance of
herself and certain of her children |
other than deponent.
Deponent goes on to deny having re- /
ceived any stocks or benefits from his |
mother other than already stated. |
Regular statements were furnished by |
him to his mother. He denies having |
asked his brother Henry to stand by |
him and proposing to Henry that they |
would grab the whole estate" AT no |
time had he exercised undue power |
over his mother. Ever since the con-
clusion of the compromise he has used |
every effort to have it's terms enforced. |
He contends that the compromise is !
good and effective and has long since |
as a matter of conscience and of law,
terminated this suit.
experimenting his former statement, |
he says $4,000 is still due by the estate |
out of a loan of $4,000 obtained for the |
purposes of the compromise, and that
balance, principal and interest, is Sc
cured as was the original loan by a |
pledge of the $500 shares of Eva Plan |
tation Co., 300 shares of Hawaiian |
