become Mrs. Bulls principal adviser in

Mrs. Hopkins, it was said by Mrs. Bulls
counsel, had said to Mrs Bull that
George ". Young. Mrs. Bulls co-execu-
tor In DR.. Bulls estate. was not paying
proper attention TO the affairs Of the
estate. A great deal Of money was I'M

terest, according TO Mrs. Hopkins, and
she explained that il was 10 Mr.. YounS's
interest not to invest the money.
Needed Friend and Adviser
Edward Lauterbacfl, counsel for the
estate. was a very busy lawyer, she said,
snd did not have time to pay proper at
1ention 20 Mrs. Bulls affairs The re-
suit was that she was practically with
out advice, and what she needed was d
stanch and capable friend and adviser.
Qualey was introduced by Mrs. Hop
Bins and became this friend and adviser
and soon brought forth the proposition
TO invest in the Magnesia-Asbestos Com
many The plan for the loft building fol-
lowed. and in his letter Of July p Cor
i,ett advised Mrs Bull TO let her New
port place go for a year, as she could
Use the money so advantageously in
other ways.
Mrs Hopkins. il was said. had known
CuaIey for many years, and it was she,
also who introduced Corbett to Qualey.
Livingston Pell, Corbett's partner in the
architectural firm of Corbett & Pell,
said yesterday that Corbett had been
an instructor in Mrs. Hopkins's School
81 Applied Science for Women up to
about a year ago. About two years ago
she had introduced him 20 Qualey and
Cualey had soon persuaded Corbett TO
60 into the Magnesia- Asbestos Com
pany.
II don't mind saying" said Mr.. Pell,
and YOU can quote me on ii or not, as
YOU like, that the first time | saw Qualey
l had no use for him 7 can't understand
how man like Corbett should go in
With him. Of course. Qualey is a pro-
Ynoter, and Corbett comes from the
West. There are different standards Of
business and promotion in the East and
the West You know. though the Lord
knows. morals are had enough here. and
YOU have 10 take that into considera-
ton.
'QUalcy wanted ne 10 buy stock in
his company. but told him that | put
al my money III real estate. Corbett
was made secretary and treasurer of the
company, and they had an office in this
building, hut not in our Offices. ! paid
very little attention to their affairs, be-
cause II WAS Corbett's private business -
Corbott and he. Mr.. PelI said, had
formed their partnership about seven
years ago.
