DANTE ANSWERS
HUTCHINS' WIFE
Denies Her Charge that He
Broke Trust.

William ]. Dante. trustee of the es-
tate of Stilson Hutchins, yesterday filed
his answer to the petition of Mrs. Rose
Keeling Hutchins, wife of Stilson Hutch
ins, to have him deposed as trustee. It is
denied by Dante that Hutchins was men,
tally incompetent to attend to his busi-
ness affairs subsequent to September
1909, except at rare intervals, as is al
legged by Mrs. Hutchins. He also de-
nies that the deed of trust naming him
as trustee was executed because of any
dissatisfaction on the part of Mrs.
Hutchins or. on account of Hutchins'
mental condition.
Mr.. Dante denies that the net annual
600 and sl25,OOO, and says that there can
be no net annual income until the OBJ
legations of the estate are either met
or curtailed as they mature from time
to time
That he was specifically forbidden un-
der all circumstances by StilsOn Hutch
ins to render any account TO his wife or
TO discuss his business affairs with her
is the assertion made by Mr.. Dante.
Dante cmphatically denies that he has
in any way violated the trust or that
he has tranferred without consideration
large blocks of stock to Lee Hutch
ins, as alleged by Mrs. HutchIns.
1t is denied by Dante that he has eX-
pended any of the income unnecessarily
or eXtravagantly, but, TO the contrary.
has exercised the greatest economy and
prudence in the management of the
properties ''as Is we'll known to Mrs.
Rose Keeling Hutchins'

HARDEEN'S SUPREME TEST.
King of Handouts viii Release
Himself from Packing Box.

At the Casino Theater tonight. Har-
deem. king of handouts. will submit to
the supreme test. He will undertake to
releas" himself from stout packing box
built by the shipping force in the en-
plOy Of GoldenberE's department stores
He accepted the challenge Of the firm.
which has been waiting for over two
years to get a chance at a handcuff ex-
pert. and at the first performance to-
night. the public. or that portion able to
get inside OF the theatcr. will see one
of the most sensational speCtacles in
trOduCed on the stage
\ famous handcuf expert and jail
breaker. who appeared here over two
years ago, succeeded in making his es-
cape from several boxes that were built
by the paCking departments of large mer-
cantlc firms. GOldenbeTgs challenged
the same expert, but for some reason or
other, its box was not accepted The
box was stored away and the members
Of the firm made up their minds they
would save ii for the next tailbreaker
that came along. When Harden came
to town. and his act attracted attention
at the Casino Monday afternoon, Gold
cnberEs decided to challenge him to get
out OF one of their boxes after he had
been handcuffed and nailed up inside of
it.
