Seattle. Wash. Aug 20.-Samuel
Hill. son.in.law of James ]. Hill de-
clared last night that he had no
knowledge of legal proceedings begun
by Mrs. James ] Hill In the courts
of New York TO secure the custody OF
his eldest daughter. Miss Mary Hill.
He also said that the dispatch which
gave the purpose of the proceeding as
a desire on the part OF Mrs. James ].
Hill to educate Miss Mary Hill In the
Catholic church. was clearly an error.
as he was most friendly with the rep
rcsentatives of that faith.
When Mr.. Hill was interviewed he
was at dinner at his home. and one of
his guests was the Rev Emil Kauten.
Catholic chaplain of Providence hos
pital. Father Knutcn also stated that
the dispatch was in error So far as the
attitude Of Mr. Hill toward the Catho-
lie church was implied
Il do not know what the dispatch
means" said Mr.. Hill II have been
served with no legal papers. and |
