manufacturer. and was then cut off in
a codicil because his marriage was dis
tasteful to his father, but who will
get a large part Of the estate through
an agreement among the heirs. alleges
in papers filed in the Supreme Court
yesterday that he was the victim of

den.
DR.. Borden alleges that Richmond
and j. o. Walsh entered into a con-

drinks and then got MIN TO execute a
promissory note for 81, $50 which they
said he lost Under the circumstances
he contends that payment of the note
is not enforceable.
II is alleged that the coin dipping
transaction occurred in "a gambling
house. Of which Walsh was the proprlc

stakes Of 81 and increased as Dr.
Borden's losses grew heavier.
While DR.. Borden was "A student AT

he remarked her. When NJ. &. ID. Bor-

cause of IAN unfortunate marriage"
