J.. F. DUNHAM ESTATE
Is TIED UP BY WRIT
Widow Alleges Daughters Re-
fused to Carry Out Com
promise Agreement.
ABOUT $4,000 INVOLVED

Mrs. Elizabeth Lee Durham. widow
firm OF Hughes & Co., exporters Of SO
Wall street, who died November 80 last.
has tied UP the distribution of the es-
tate through an injunction suit started
against the four daughters of Mr.. Dun
ham by a former wife, In which she al
leges that the daughters are refusing to
carry out a compromise agreement under
which the estate was to be distributed.
The complaint states that after the
death OF Mr.. Durham, who left an es-
tate OF more han $4,000, n dispute
arose between her and her stepdaughters
In which she expressed doubt as to the
validity of her husbands will leaving
the bulk of his property to his daugh-
tiers. She said that in order to settle
the dispute amicably she agreed to waive
all her claims II the daughters would
consent to the payment to her OF slO,-
600 insurance. She says the daughters
signed such an agreement, but have
since repudiated 1t, and for his reason
the suit has been started to hold the
daughters To their agreement and to en-
join the distribution OF the estate until
the suit la determined.
The answer OF the daughters, Grace,
rs'neI ana SylNla human and Mrs.
Florence Durham Wood. filed yesterday
by their attorney. Charles T. Terry, ac-
cuses Edward $. Hatch, for years at
torney for Mr.. Durham. and n OF the
executors under his will, OF fraud in in
ducing them to execute the agreement
In question.
The daughters allege that while they
were still overcome with grief by reason
OF their fathers death and when they
were unable to understand the nature
of documents they we're signing. Mr..
Hatch summoned them to his Office, and
while acting as attorney for the widow
nc agreed to act also as their counsel
and advised them to consent TO the
compromise by which their stepmother
was to receive the $4,000 insurance.
They say AIR. Hatch represented thai
he had a letter from the father, which
was really a part of his will. in which
he asked that the $4,000 insurance be
paid TO his wife. They were ignorant
OF the fact hat Mr.. Hatch was actually
their stepmother, and no
their legal rights they signed
the agreement. They retained new
a few days later and Their found
that they had signed away their interes,
in the Insurance. They ask that the
be set aside on the ground
oil fraud.
Mrs. Durham has fled a reply to the
answer OF the stepdaughters in which
she denies that Mr.. Hatch was acting as
her attorney.
