in the Bromley case.
Congressman John r. X. Scott, former

at-law, expressed great surprise when Judge

withdrawn her opposition TO the will, which
bequeathed the estate to Mr.. Bromley's 8
sisters. The withdrawal was announced in
a letter 20 Judge Anderson from Thomas j.
Meagher. attorney for Mrs. Karst. All at
torneys for the Bromley family professed
surprise at the withdrawal OF Mrs Karst s
claim.
Congressman Scott declared there had
been no compromise and no settlement of
any kind. declaring that regardless of all
money consideration the Bromley family
had been determined to fight Mrs. Karst's
claim in order to clear the name of Mr.
Bromley.
Counsel for the family were in Orphansf
Court with a large number of witnesses ant
