Miss welch is secretary of the Colusa

The queen and her maids were guests

HOEFLER RESENTS
|. CHARGE OF FRAUD
Attorney Files Answer to Ferdi-
nand and Mary Albertz, Who
Allege Conspiracy

The accusations made by Ferdinand
and Mary Albertz that Attorney L. NJ.
Hoefier had taken from them control
of the Moulton Hill vineyard company
by fraud and conspiracy were denied
by Hoef1er in an answer to their COM
plant in Intervention filed yesterday.
Hoef1er is travelling in Europe, but his
answer was prepared by his law firm.
Bishop, Hoefler, Cook & Harwood, and
the facts in the document were sworn
to by Finlay Cook
Hoefier states that when his connec-
tion with the corporation began, in
1907, the Moulton Hill vineyard COM
the lntervenors, Hoef1er paid the Cali
fornia wine association $4,000 in their
behalf, and their stock was thereupon
transferred to him. He denies that the
stock was simply pledged as security.
as Alberto and his wife asserted, but
declares that it became his absolute
property.
Albertz was declared a bankrupt by
the United States district court Hoef1er
says 1t is his intention to give the in
tervenors an interest in the corporation
when he has been reimbursed for ad-
yances. He says that he is willing to
return all the stock upon their paying
him sum of money much smaller than
the corporation really owes him.
Owing to the condition of the wine
market since 1907, Hoefer says he has
been compelled, in order to save the
property, to make additional advances
to the corporation until it now owes
him more than $4,000.
Albertz was appointed by Hoef1er to
take charge of the vineyard and winery
in Sonoma county, but the lawyer says
that Alberto managed the company SO
ineficiently and made such extrava-
CANT expenditures that he was obliged
to discharge him. AS to the charge
that Hoef1er placed four of his clerks
in the position of directors of the COM
pany, and that they were his tools and
dummies, the lawyer denies that any of
the directors, with the exception of Leo
Mund, were employed by him. He de-
-nies collusion with the directors, and
states that Albertz and his wife have
no interest whatever in the suit. The
charge that Hoefler permitted the de-
struction of property worth $4,000 is
also denied.

Will DECLARED
TO BE FORGERY
G. D. Graybill Says Mysterious
Susannah Moore Testament
Is Fraudulent

Following close upon the fling Of
the mysterious will of Susannah
Moore and the revelation of the strange
facts surrounding 1t comes the state
ment of George D. Graybill, con-
tractor residing at 1442 Lombard
street, seeming to confirm the suspi-
c1on that the series of anonymous let
ters, the will and the supposed illegit-
innate daughter are a part of hoax.
Graybill claims that he was well ac-
quainted with the aged miser and says
that she was we'll educated, and that
IN his opinion the will is fraud. Mrs.
Graybill claims to have known the
woman also and corroborates her hus-
bands statement
Although Susannah Moore may not
have been as illiterate as the supposed
viii and accompanying statement would
sem to indicate, her authentic sigma
ture. which was brought to light yes
terday, is little better than the one
signed to the papers
Nothing further has been received
by the public administrator from the
mysterious Mary c. Davies of Lemhi
county, Idaho. Contrary to the state
ments she made through her illiterate
agents, it has been found that there is
competent lawyer In Salmon City,
where she lives, even though the town
is in the heights of the Rockies and
so miles distant from the nearest rail-
road. Mrs. Davies, in her efforts to
establish her claim to the $4,000 es-
tate, said she was unable to get legal
aid.

forward for the estate is not known.
