Answer and CroSS-Petltion--
Ida Culver, defendant in an action
brought against her by Lewis B.
Houck as executors Of the will of
Angeline Fink, has filed an answer
and cross-petition.
She says that there were two in
struments, each purporting to be the
last will Of decedent, produced and
that one was probated. This gave her
the use and income of all real estate
for a period of two years, and she
thus received all rents.
An effort to contest this will failed,
defendant claims, in probate court,
but the decision was reversed by the
appellate court. Plaintiff, according
ly, had the other will admitted to pro-
bate.
During this litigation, defendant
says she was in possession of the es-
tate. She claims her services were
worth 1920, which amount she asks
for credit.
Twice decedent requested her, de-
fendant states, to occupy certain
parts of the Fink block, once after
the first will had been set aside. She
complied, staying there until the
premises were sold. She denies any
sum Is due plaintiff from her for such
occupancy.
In cross-petition she cites a check
for $1,000, given her by decedent,
which at the time was rejected be-
cause of insufficient funds in the
bank. M. CARRIER, original executor,
allowed this claim when same was
presented him, but the second execu-
tor-the plaintiff-refused to allow
1t. She claims $1,000 with interest
from Nov. 27, 1912,
A further claim of $1,910 for SER
vices of a nursing character per-
formed by her for decedent is set up
by defendant, who says that she left
her home in Toledo to come to this
city and perform such work. M. Gar
ber allowed this claim, she says, but
plaintiff rejected it.
She says that crediting sum to-
which she is entitled for managing
property to the account set forth in
plaintiffs petition, leaves the sum
of $794.62. Deducting this from
amount due her as set forth in her
first cause of action, there would still
be owing her $2O5.3S with interest
from Nov. q, 1912.
She asks for Judgment in the sum
of $2,O15.3s with interest from Dec. 1,
1912.
F. o. Levering and Moore & Sper
ry are her attorneys.
