late John r. Mclean. denies that he
Intentionally misled Mrs. Mildred Nc

charging her brother, John r. Nc

she was interested.
The suit was brought by Frederick
II. Bugher, a nephew of Mclean.
seeking an investigation and adjust
ment of the estate, naming his CO.
heirs as defendants, the principal be-
| ing Edward B. Mclean. Soon after
Mrs. Dewey filed an answer to this
suit. in which she stated that she did
not believe that her brother had COM
mitted any wrong act in managing
the affairs of the family. Recently,
however, she filed a substitute answer
in which she states that facts have
lately come into her possession which
bear out the allegations of the plain
tiff, and she complains that Darling
ton endeavored to hide these facts
from her and did not fully acquaint
her with information to which she
was entitled as an interested party.
Sent Written Synopsis.
when the suit was filed 1 sent
Mrs. Dewey a copy of the bill and
a written synopsis to make it more
intelligible, along with the following
statement: Your financial interest
would be advanced if Mr.. Bugher
should succeed in having his charges
sustained. If the court should be-
lieve them true you would be en-
titled to be restored to your orig
inal one-third interest in the mines.
1t is proper for me to bring this
act to your attention, although l un-
derstand your attitude toward Mr..
Bugher's charges and claims" Mrs.
Dewey, Darlington declares. often
expressed the opinion that there was
rno possibility of sustaining the
charges of fraud and misrepresenta-
ton, that they were wholly untrue
and an injustice to her brothers
memory.
When the case neared a hearing he
states that he sent her the following
note:
Il have been and am unwilling to be
in the position of attorney for the
trustee of your brothers will and op-
posing those charges while at the
same time acting as attorney for you
whose pecuniary interest would be
advanced If the fraud charges should
by any probability be sustained. unless

Claim Charges Unfounded.

In subsequent interview with
her. the attorney charges, at which
Admiral Samuel McGowan. as per-
sonal friend and adviser of Mrs
Dewey was present, she stated with
emphasis that the charges of fraud
and misrepresentation against her
brother were most unfounded and un-
true and that under no circumstances
would she accept a dollar which
would come to her on the theory that
he had been guilty of conduct of that
character.
