Inadequate

That Richards NJ. Bradley of Bos-
ton, one of the trustees of the Thomas
Thompson estate, is responsible large
ly, if not wholly, for the mismanage-
ment, if any, in the administration of
the estate is the opinion of the Society
of SeamstresSes, Needlewomen and
Shop Girls of Brattleboro, benefciaries
under the will of Thomas Thompson.
Through their attorneys, Frank E. Bar
Der and Orrin B. Hughes Of Brattleboro,
with the cooperation of the law firm of
Bates, Nay, Abbott & Dane of Boston,
they filed in the supreme judicial court
IN Boston yesterday, after being grant
ed leave to intervene, their answer to
the petition of the trustees for more
discretion in dispensing the income of
the estate
No fault is found with the other trus-
tee, John f. Moors of Boston. who has
attended to the business management of
the property, further than that he has
acquiesced in whatever Mr. Bradley has
done

trustees and their agents in Brattle-
