NEW ATTACK MADE
ON LESLIE WILL
Baroness Salvador Wants Part
of the $1,000, 900 Left to
Suffrage Cause.
MRS. GAIT A DEFENDANT
Dutch Claimant Says That
Leader Practised Cajolery
on Aged Woman.

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, suffrage
leader, has aother legal fight on her
hands II she wishes to retain for the
cause she represents the $1,000, 900 be-
Queathed her by the will Of Mrs. Frank
Leslie, also known as the Baroness de
Bazus. who died in September, 1914.
Another attack on the validity of the
document was opened yesterday when
Surrogate Fowler signed an order for
! the issuance of q citation by publica-
ton directed to Mrs. Carrie H. wrenn
of Crawford, N. ]. The order was OBJ
tanned on the petition OF Althea, the
Baroness Salvador, a subject Of Holland,
at present residing in Paris, and is the
first step on the part Of the Baroness
TO contest the will. which has been adj
United to probate. The court Is now
! asked to set aside this probate.
The claim put forth by the petitioner.
who is no relation to Mrs. Leslie, is that
another will is in existence, made by the
decedent when she was in full possess
sion of her faculties and uninffuenced In
any way. In which the Baroness is q
legatee to the extent Of $1,000 in cash
and a SIS, 900 diamond necklace. Mrs.
Wrenn is made a party to the proceed-
ings on the ground that she is the sole
next of kin of Mrs Leslie, being a niece
Of the latter.
Explaining the delay in bringing the
action, the petitioner states that she
lacked the necessary funds, as her
estates are in northern France and Bel
GUM, having been for four years under
the domination of German military
forces and being greatly impaired in
value as n result of the depredations of
the invading army.
In her allegations the plaintiff states
that Mrs Leslie was under the influence
and control of the suffrage leader and
also her attorneys, William Nelson
Cromyell and Louis H. Cramer, who
are the executors and trustees under
the will admitted to probate. She
charges that the attorneys represented
to Mrs. Leslie shortly before her death
that her estate amounted TO only $780,
600, whereas, she says. il was worth
sI.7o0, 1000.
The existence OF previous wills was
also known to the lawyers, the Baroness
| charges. but this was concealed when
the Will making the large suffrage be-
quest was probated. She alleges Mira
Leslie was easily influenced by fiattery
| and cajolery. Sin the exercise Of which
Mrs. Gait excelled." and also that Mrs.
| Leslie had an insane passion for
| notorlety.
Among other allegations made by the
| Baroness are that while Mrs Leslie was
OF sound mind when she executed other
| wills. at the time the one probated
| was made. che was an ego maniac and
was suffering from senile dementia, loco
motor ataxia, paresis and paranoia.
FOR these reasons the Surrogates
Court is asked 70 set aside the probate
and submit the trial Of the validity of
the various wills to a contest before
/ jury.

WILKINS CHRGES ~.
MURDER FRAMEUP
Says Detectives Are Ching
Out False Stories.

For the first time since his arrest on
the charge Of killing his wife at their
cottage at Long Beach. L. I. on Feb
ruary 81. DR.. Walter X. Wilkins talked
to reporters yesterday. He discussed
various phases OF the case against him
as outlined by District Attorney Weeks
OF Nassau county and complained that
he was being framed up" He ex-
cluded Mr.. Weeks from any part in
the conspiracy. but said he believed
there were detectives working on the
case who would etop at nothing. He
talked in the reception room Of the Jail
at Mineola and In the presence of his
lawyers. Charles n. wysong and Lewis
G. Friess.
II am being framed" said DR.. Will
kins. Il desire to say this because so
much that has been printed about me
Is not true For instance, a report has
been given out in which a detective
working for q New York agency IL
quoted as saying that on March 10 /
found an overcoat in an upstairs room
In my Long Beach house. Now. my
attorneys were there, and can, testify
that found the coat downstairs and
that 1t was not my property. I believe
II to have been left by one of the rob-
bers who attacked me and killed my wife.
The detectives have given out an
other report" continued DR.. Wilkins.
TO the effect that they found. in a
suit O, mine. pieces of paper which
matched paper wrapped around the han
die OF the hammer with which my wife
was struck. That is not true. Before
the detectives ever saw the suit / had
emptied its pockets Of everything with
the inte9tion OF sending 1t to a presser
and its pockets contained nothing at all.
What the detectives found must have
been placed there by themselves"

Painted
Furniture
Au Qudtrieme

One always associates
painted furniture with
either the ultra modern
type of interior or with
soft mellowed effects of the
old Italian painted furni-
ture. Az Quatrieme are
three little rooms furnished
in painted furniture that is
both old and new-a quaint
combination of old Colonial
furniture made gay with
old fashioned color motifs
applied in a modern decora-
tive manner.
One room has little lacquer
red bedstead and rush bottom
chairs and dressing table of the
same lovely color. This set is
curiously Chinese in effect, in
spite of the decoration of nose
gays of roses and small bright
colored flowers. The old rag and
hooked rugs on the floor carry
out the quaint effect of the furni-
ture.
Another room has canary
yellow set decorated in gold and
black "fruit pieces" The old
high back rocker and little came
bottom chairs are particularly
good; altogether, this painting Of
fine old-furniture with fine
modern color, has been a decided
achievement.

they do not light on their feet
anywhere, as cats do.
So many men and some women
have defeat written in their eyes.
You can see it when they leave
one place and roll far around to
another, and finally leave home
where their mother always did
the homework, sliding into mar
rage as the only thing left.
They took upon themselves the
homework which they never
liked all owing to the fact that
they never cheerfully settled
down to do their best in any
place they had.
The new circumstances, with
out the mother to take care of
the homework, are often the
cause Of unhappiness, discomfort
and disaster.
Think it over and stop the
rambling business life and settle
