SUES HER ALLEGED
HALF LF-s|sTER FOR
SHARE IN 100000
Mrs. Howard T. Walker De-
clares Herself Daughter of
Elizabeth Man.

ELIZABETH, April 2o.-The situa-
ton arising out of the suit for part
of the 100000 estate of the late Will
lam zschwetzNe by Mrs. Fiji May
Blake Walker, who alleges that she is
daughter OIL Mr.. zschwetzke by a sec
ond wife, was made more complicated
today when a search of the records
here failed to show that there has
ever been a second marriage.
Mrs Walker alleges that she is the
half-sister of Mrs. Sophia Elisa Blake,
who inherits the estate by the will, al
though she has always been led to be-
lieve that she was her foster daughter.
Ever since she can remember she
has lived with the Blakes and has
been treated like a daughter. and
never was there an Intimation that
the woman whom she always called
mother was really her half-sister.
Last November, shortly after her
elopement with Howard T. Walker.son
of Canadian mine owner, Mrs. Walk
er, who was then known as Miss
Blake was told that she was in rality
the half-sster of Mrs. Walker.
Prior TO her elopement, which hwas
made against her wishes, Mrs. Blake
told her that she was really the daugh-
ter of one of the servants of the late
William Zschwetzke, but she refused
to disclose the name of her parents.
1t was after this that Mrs. Walker
heard of her parentage, which caused
her to bring suit for part of the $780,
900 estate of the man she says was her
father.
Mrs. Walker, it is alleged. is the
daughter of Margaret Schudel, who, u
is said. Mr.. Zschwetzke married there
in 1888 after the death of his first wife,
the time of which could not be found
Mr. Zschwetzke was said to have
made his fortune as a builder and con-
tractor in New York. after which he
retired here to live.
Mrs. Walker said that she was born
two months before her fathers death,
in November, 1883. and she asks an ac-
counting of the estate since that time.
A search of the records here today
discloses that MIR. Zschwetzke died
November 6. 1883. No record of a sec
ond marriage is shown, and the rec
ords of his death he is given as a
widower.
The first will was made in 1886, leav-
ing everything in trust for his wife
Augusta When she died he made
codicil to the first will. leaving the en-
tire estate. with the exception of $1,000,
to Sophia Elisa Blake.
The $4,000 was left to be kept in trust
for his grandson. William y. Blake,
when he became of age.
The surrogate, who probated the viii,
says that at this late date Mrs. Walker
will have considerable difficulty prov
ing her assertions.

On the witness stand Mrs Weldon
she has suffered at the hands of her
husband. She also alleged that he at
tempted to smother one of their chill

propositions but he seemed obdurate
and I fled to the home of my mother.
She is poor and unable to care for me
and the two children, but has shared

Mrs. Weldon also stated thar her
husband had lost his position on ac-
count of theft. Counsel for Weldon Of
