Was UNCLE'S GIFT
DRINK INSPIRED?
Women Say 1t Was and Accuse
Sister of Furnishing In
.spiration

!. That Mrs. Jane Crosby piled her
uncle, James Van Ness, with intoxicat-
ing liquor, and that while he was under
the influence of the intoxicant Induced
him to deed to her and her husband,
William Grossly, a half interest in
realty. in Florida street near Twenty
fourth, was the accusation made yes
terday by Rebecea steinhart and
Frances Lowry, sisters of Mrs. Grossly,
in complaint to set aside the deed
Van Ness died March II, the day fol-
lowing that on which it is alleged he
was made drunk and persuaded to con-
vey the property to the Crossbys. The
half interest so conveyed is stated to
be worth about s2,50O including the
residence standing on the land.
William Crosby, the husband is
also involved in the charge of admin
istering intoxicating drink to Van
Ness, in order to bring about the sign
ing of the deed Van Ness was AN old
soldier. and shortly before his death
had left the Yountville home. His other
nieces, Mrs. Steinhart and Mrs. Lowry.
state that the gift of the property to
Jane and William Grossly. was in
direct contradiction of their uncle's
avowed plans and intentions. He bore
no love whatever for the Crossbys, the
plaintiffs state. On the contrary, it is
asserted, by reason of their cruel and
inhuman treatment of him, he had re-
peatedly stated that he Intended to put
them off his property, and that he
would cut them out of his will.
Therefore the plaintiffs accuse their
sister and her husband of fraud in OBJ
tanning the conveyance, and say that
they exercised undue pressure upon
the Jecedent, and took advantage of
the fact that he was in low and weak
physical condition and not capable of
understanding what he was doing. The
deed mentions as a consideration for
the gift that Mrs. Crosby would in
sure her uncle home in his declining
years.
Besides asking the court to declare
the deed null and void, the plaintiffs
pray that their sister be mulcted in $500
DANA ges, and that she be compelled to
account for all moneys received by her
from the property since March II, 1909.
The plaintiffs claim to be entitled to
share in the property equally with
their sister, Mrs. Crosby.
