PUTS BLAME ON BROTHERS
Widow of Sterry, Who Killed
Father, Arraigns Them in Suit.

Mrs Mildred =. Sterry. widow of George
Z. Sterry. jr.. who shot and killed his
father, George E. Sterry wholesale drug
gist. on May 10. 1893. and then killed him
self. filed an affidavit yesterday in the liti-
CATION for the fourth share in the elder
Sterrys estate that would have gone 10
the son. In the affidavit she alleges that
her brother-in-law. William De Witt Sterry.
and James W. Sterry. executors Of the es-
tate. were responsible for the condition of
mind and body Of her husband on the day
he committed the double crime.
Mrs. Sterry's affidavit is made in reply
10 the allegations OF the two brothers. who
said in their defence Of her suit for the
share Of the 10000 estate that their broth
er killed their father because he feared that
he would change his will 90 include one Miss
Rachel Blakie. whom, despite his seventy
years the father intended to marry, and
in anticipation Of the benefits that George
+. Sterry. jr.. would receive from his
fathers property. They set up that a
person cannot benefit from the estate of
a man whose life he takes.
Mrs. Sterrv denies that her husband
killed his father in order to prevent the
change She says that the son killed
his father and the old man die be
fore killing himself This latter statement
has a significant hearing on the case. as
the defendants declare that their brother
Gied before their father. this fact being
cited as another reason why Mrs Sterry
IS not entitled 10 share IN the estate.

parasol may have a lining Of any color
20 suit the costume and complexion; IL may
have wide border OF ribbon any shade,
printed with a Dresden design: or IL may
have around the edge wreath Of conven-
tional flowers embroidered in two shades
OF a contrasting color and a little allover
pattern in the same tints. In fact it may
be varied in a hundred different ways.
Some plain pongee parasols. with the
ends of the ribs slightly turned up. are
finished at the edges with a green fringe
about two inches deep and others have in
stead knife pleated ribbon Of the same
depth. Often there is a printed border so
wide as 20 leave only a tiny bit of the
natural pongee in the centre. Many of
these borders are in Dresden, Persian and
Paisley designs. and some of them are very
beautiful. For those who like the natural
color alone there are parasols with a large
self-colored design in embroidery in each
section.
The Chantecler parasol of red silk. with
a large roosters head in gay colors for the
top of the handle. is not winning great
favor, but there is a much milder form in
natural pongee. with a few polka dots
in Chantecler red about the edge and a
large rooster embroidered on one section.
The rooster. though large, is a modest
fowl. for with the exception of hts comb he
is done in the natural pongee color.
Really elegant are the imported parasols
in green grossrain silk. with handsome
tassels and handles in dark wood. slightly
hooked and showing other irregularities
resembling the natural knots of the wood.
The raffia parasols. like the one in the
illuStratio which are so serviceable for
the sea shore because they are moisture
proof. 4re Furnished this year with a large
loop at the top by means Of which they
may be carried on the arm when closed.
This makes them especially desirable for
use on occasions when one wishes to relax
and lose for a time the consciousness Of
ones belongings.

Professor Parker, and we shall try 10 get
