THE CASE OF
 MRS DI MAR I INO.
Deprived of Her~ Rights by Long Silence About Hus- bands Death, and Not by Shannon X Wilder.


 The Farmer has received from shannon & Wilder attorneys for Carl F. slemon. a request for correction of certain statements made by The Far zner with regard to Mrs. DeAFartino. as doing '.aS great injustice to MT. slemoh as well as ourselves
 re facts as given by shannon 8 Wilder are as follows
 Mrs. DeMartino was told by what means her husband died; she was told that our client felt that if his car struck her husband the accident was unavoidable; she was told that he had sent her $1O00 because he felt sorry for her loss: she was told that this money was a. gift to her and not in any manner a settlement of any. rights she might have. She was not asked to nor did she execute a re- lease Of any claim belonging to her.. Her position was the same after she accepted the money as it was before. (
 The injury done to Mrs. DeMartino was not by any action of MT. Sie- mont agent, but entirely by the months of silence which prevailed be- fore the case was given to shannon & Wilder for settlement.
 Since her right of action had ex- pired the $1s0oO sent to her was legally gift
 The Farmer did not in any state 1nent attribute Mrs. DeMartino's in jury to Shannon & Wilder. but eE- tirely to the concea1ment of the facts. prior to their connection with the case.
