MATANZAS HOTEL
INVOLVED IN
LAW SUIT


sold the Matanzas Hotel in this city.
This property is now involved in
law suit as the following from this
mornings Tampa Tribune explains;
The Tribune is in receipt of the
folowin,- communication from W. x.
Zewadski Jr., regarding the story
of the suit filed against him in Cir
cut Court, which appeared in the
Sunday issue of The Tribune;
Editor Tribune: l was made &C
Quainted through your columns in
The SUNDAY Tribune that Mrs. NJ. I.
Prassell had instituted suit against
me. The reason for this letter is the
sentence; Mrs. Brassell claims that
after she had decided the Lakeland
property, worth $4,000 or $4,000.
10 Zewadski, she found that the
Tampa property which she received
lin return was mort2aged for about
$4,000" waited till today be-
from papers filed whether or not that
was the cause of suit. No papers
have been filed setting forth the
cause, therefore | am still uninform-
cd except by you. i want to say To
YOU, and the public, since you have
made the matter so public. that be-
fore papers were ever passed between
Mrs. Brassell and myself, that we
drew an agreement setting forth the
cvact terms of the trade, describing
tie property. ETC.. and membranes.
Will further say that the property is
exactly as represented to Mrs. Bras
sell as our agreement will show .
Also. Il made Mrs. Brassell employ
counsel to examine abstracts and
deeds before deeds were passed and
she employed Mr.. Hammer, who
p1ssed on all the papers and alb
stracts. It SENS unusual therefore
that Mrs. Brassell should be unin-
formed OF the incumbrancei when her
signed agreement with me sets them
out: then my deeds to her set out all
cot membranes, and the abstracts in
her hands brought down to date oil
sale set out the same membranes
Further than that, Mrs. Bfassell has
never said that she was deceived In
any particular. but, on the contrary,
has often remarked as to her salts
faction.
4 harly think that Messrs. Dyal
Ross and Whittemore will gain any
thing by having thesecurity when
intrusted to them ,earnisheed, nor
do Il think it will profit them in
signing the bond for $4,000. which
Mrs. Brassel had to give to- garpishes
the security. Yours truly,
w. X. ZEWADSKI, Jr.
Harry C. Hammer, attorney FOR
Mrs. NJ. l. Brassell, confirms the
statement that his client was in
formed regarding the mOrngage on
the property Mr. Hammer, how
ever. states that there was third
mortgage on the Tampa property
which Mr.. Zewadski agreed to re-
lease. giving his note, secured by
