ried. On thceo two puinic, At least,
the lawyers engaged in tho friendly
suit regarding her share Of the estate
Of The late James Campbell agree. The
trustees Of the estate also join in &C.
knowlcdging the facts and, by infer.
eneo, they say that George Beekley is
n lucky man.
Mrs. Beekley is asking for an nc.
counting and distribution. She be-
iievcs she is entitled TO have handed
over to her the sum of at least s125, 900
in cash. But the trustees of the estate
say she is not eighteen yet. The soft
impeachment is admitted by her own
lawyers, but they say she is a married
woman and therefore is entitled, under
the win, to get her money right now
instead of having to wait until she at
tains her majority.
As part Of the proceedings in CON
neetion with the lawsuit over the mat
tor it appears to have become neces-
sary to disclose to the world the age
Of the fair bride. Being sweet sixteen
she probably doesn t object to the fact
being publicly known. But the lawyers
do not briefly state that that is the
number of her summers They have to
use legal phrases in dealing with the
important matter. Therefore, in a
stipulation and admission fled in the
circuit court yesterday, the lawyers
George A. Davis for Mrs. Beekley and
Holmes, Stanley & Olson for the trus-
tees-employ the following language
in admitting the brides age and mar
riage:
g. 1t is hereby stipulated and admit
ted that the plaintiff, Mary Beatrice
Campbell Beckley, will only attain the
age Of seventeen years on the 18th day
of October, 1911; and also that the said
legally married to George G. Beckley,
of the City and County of Honolulu,
Territory of Hawaii, on the first day
of August, 1911, and is now his wife. y
Sent to Supreme Court.
The lawsuit started by Mrs. Beckley
against the trustees for an accounting
and distribution has been sent lp to
the supreme court on reserved cues
ton Of law by Judge Robinson, which
was fled yesterday. The action was
started on August 10. Two days later
the trustees of the James Campbell
estate fled plea in abatement. They
asked that the complaint be quashed
because Mrs. Beckley is not yet eiph.
teen years of age and because the pro.
'ceedings are not brought "by next
friend or other representative legally
entitled to act on her behalf"
Judge Robinson now reserves for the
consideration of the territorial supreme
court the question whether or not the
plea of abatement is good in law and
should be sustained.
