Son of Mrs. Osenberg Says Moore
Made Promise.
Begged Her to Stay With Him
Till He Died.
FIGHT FOR THE MONEY
Struggle in District Court Over
the WOman's Claim.
Washburn Trustees Are Resist
ing the Suit.

He said if she would come and stay
with him until he died, he would make
her rich in his will"
Around that statement made by Lee
Osenberg, son of Ellen Osenberg, the
housekeeper, who is suing the estate
of John w Moore for $3.50, her counsel
is viewing her claim.
During the 10 years and 5 months
from April, 1896, to September, 1909,
when the old man died, Lee Osenberg
lived in the same house at 1900 East
Sixth avenue with Mr. Moore and his
mother. He served an apprenticeship
in the Santa Fe shops and is now en-
ployed as machinist in Omaha, NeD.
He is % years old.
After the jury had been empanelled
this morning, Mr.. Osenberg was called
to the witness stand and occupied it
the entire day. Upon direct eXamina-
ton, he stated that he had worked as
a boy and paid his own expenses at the
Moore home and that his mother, who
received a Widows pension, also paid
ner own grocery and clothing bills. He
said Mr.. Moore never gave his mother
cent so far as he knew.
Further he testified that he had sat
in the kitchen one evening at the sup
per table when Mr.. Moore was at his
desk in another room with his mother
beside him. He said he heard Mr..
Moore say to his mother that if she did
not sign a paper he would transfer all
of his property out of his possession
and she would never get a cent.
The paper referred to, said Osenberg,
was her agreement to the terms of his
will. This will, said Osenberg, was not
before them at the time but Moore
told his mother that in it he had be-
Queathed her a farm near Meriden
which would make her wealthy. She
signed the paper.
The original will was produced and
introduced in evidence by Edwin L.
O'Neil, attorney for Washburn col
lege, which is the beneficiary. In it
Mr.. Moore grants Mrs. Osenberg a life
estate in the home at 1900 East Sixth
avenue. And the written agreement of
satisfaction signed by Mrs. Ellen
Osenbery is attached.
This home, however, and two small
houses on the banks of the Shunga-
nunga creek, all valued at $500,
we're decided to Mrs. Osenberg before
his death. The Meriden farm, which
the son alleges was to be given to his
mother, had been sold during the life
of Mr.. Moore.
Osenberg made an excellent witness
for Attorneys Schenck and Atchison,
who are pushing his mothers claim.
His replies We're quick and direct.

O'Neil, with j. B. Iarimer and E. r.
