ALL MALICE is DENIED

In justification for calling Capt. Will
lam oswald Bergman perfect rotter."
though he denies he called him such
with malicious intent" Raul Edwards
head of the Chilean State Railway, al
legged yesterday that the Captain had
tried to become too famillar with Mrs
Edwards.
Capt. Bergman, distinguished look
ing New Zealand sportsman and former
officer of the Twelfth Royal Lancers.
who has one finger missing on his right
hand started suit on September II for
$4,000 damages for alleged slander.
He charged that Edwards spoke the
phrase to certain Mrs. Zell" and
wished that she would carry the opinion
back to certain Mrs. Cornell The
women were identified as Mrs. Clarence
G. Cornell OF Rye, N. Y. and Mrs Ger
trude Zell Of Baltimore. The Captain
stated the spreading of the report that
he was "rotter" caused him TO lose the
hospitality of several homes.
Mr.. Edwards In his answer denies
that at the time complained of he. spoke
concerning Bergman and uttered the
certain words specified with malicious ir-
tent." Furthermore. he denies informa-
ton sufficient to form belief ''as TO what
was understood Dy tne PERSONS WHO
heard the words complained Of" or
that Mrs. Zell carried the expression
back to Mrs. Cornell
The answer further alleges that Capt.
Bergman lis not citizen of the United
States. has no permanent residence In
the State of New York." and at the
times complained of was not engaged in
any regular employment nor was he pos
sessed of any known or visible occupa-
ton or means of support

pitalty. Mr.. Edwards alleges, and
sought an Introduction to his wife. Some
thing he said to Mrs. Edwards while the
three were guests at Mrs. Cornelfs in
Rye, ~ Y, was such that she found 1t
necessary to tell her husband about 1t,
the answer relates. Mr.. Edwards then
told Mrs. Cornell, who forthwith re-
uuested and compelled" Capt. Bergman
to leave the house. The Captain later
admitted the impropriety of his sugges-
tions, Mr. Edwards alleges, and sought
to apologize.

Goff. Jr., attorney for Mr.. Edwards. and
sworn to by r. NJ. De Acosta, the rail-
road mans American agent, ar affidavit
stating that Mr.. Edwards is at present

INSISTS GOLD WENT
TO REAL ROOSEVELT
Uncle in Alaska Sent Her IL
Bags She Says She Gave
for Note.

Mrs.. Emma Richardson Burkett Of
IIillsdaie. Ind. who is on trial In Gen.
eral Sessions charged with forgery In
having presented a claim Of S69.900
against the estate of Theodore Roose-
welt on the strength of a promissory
note purporting to have been signed by
him. interposed a defence of insanity to
the charge against her yesterday After
her counsel had stated what her defence
would be, and had stated he was offer
ing it against her judgment and instruc-
tions. she went on the witness stand
and declared she really did lend the
money to some one she believed to be
Col Roosevelt. and that he signed the
note in her presence.
Before she began her main narrative
her counsel had her tell that she had
suffered from several illnesses and had
borne child in 1913 and had been ex-
amined I'm Bellevue and elsewhere as to
her sanity.
The money which she claims to have
lent to Col. Roosevelt came to her. she
said, from an uncle who went to Alaska
and found gold there. In his lifetime he
sent her a strong box with Instructions
that it be not opened until after his
death. When he died she opened 1t and
found it to contain fourteen bags. each
holding $4,000 in cash.
She consulted a friend. Justice Of the
Peace Joseph Peyton of Hillsdale, as to
how she could best invest the money and
he urged her to lend 1t to Col. Roose-
welt, who according to her version of
what Justice Peyton said to her. needed

dency in 1912. Peyton. she declared
accompanied her to Chicago
and introduced her to man named
Shunson. who introduced her to the man
who said he was Theodore Roosevelt.
Shunson represented himself to be
former member of Col. Roosevelt's regN
ment in the Spanish war, and the money
was finally turned over to him and the
spurious Roosevelt.
The prosecution has shown that Col.
Roosevelt rever prefixed his signature
with his military title and she met this
yesterday by saying that the Col
signed on the note was put there be-
cause she asked the signer to do so as
guarantee of his identity. No Sc
curity. she explained. was asked or Of
fered when she turned over s69, 800 AND
received piece of paper. because
Shunson told her that Col. Roosevelt's
signature alone was all the security
any one needed for any amount.
In making his opening yesterday her
counsel, Louis Fabricant, told Judge Al
fred j. Talley, who is presiding, that
witnesses who would corroborate Mrs.
Burketts story were on their way here
from Indiana and Illinois. He did not
say what the names of the witnesses
were.

ESTATE MELTED AWAY

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
ATLANTIC CITY. Oct. Further testi-
nony tending to show that Mrs. Alice
Gerry Griswold used drugs to excess
was introduced to-day before Judge
Ingersoll in Orphans Court by attorneys
for Mrs. Griswold's daughter. the Count
ess Claire Di Contubia of Milan. Italy,
who is trying to break the will In which
the bulk Of the Griswold estate was be-
queathed to Mrs. Mary II. Drischman.
wife of retired butcher.
Two physicians testified that to their
knowledge Mrs. Griswold used drugs.
Dr. Woodburn Hutchins of Pleasantville.
who lives near the cottage In which Mrs.
Griswold spent five years. testified that
he had been summoned to her house
when she was in dangerous stupor
from an overdose of veronal and some
other drug DR.. Charles II. Coniver of
PIeasantville said that he had called to
see Mrs. Griswold either in 1919 or 1920.
and had found her suffering from the
effects of drugs. DR.. Hutchins said that
he was told by Mrs. Griswold's attendant
that she frequently used sleeping pow
ders which she had put up at drug
store.
Attorney Cole. representing the
countess LII (OtltuDlds put lWO 'cttCiS
from Mrs Griswold into the record to-
day. Both were written to Mrs. vir-
einia Goodenow Of Baltimore. and one
OF them said:
Mrs Drischman is very ambitious.
She gives everything away. am sure
she has given away all of my tea gowns.
She has even given away my stockings.
In the second letter Mrs. Grjswold
said:
"Mrs Drischman wants to keep my
friends from me. Mr.. Godfrey tells me
to hold on tight and I will get my free
, dom. If I had to do 1t over again
would tie up my money so that no one
could rob me-
The books which Mrs. Drischman has
kept during the five years she has been
trustee OF the Griswold estate were pro-
duced by her in court to-day. and after
a preliminary examination of them At
torney Cole declared that they showed
that she collected about 100000 in COM
missions from the estate from 1915 to
1913 According to the trust agreement
Mrs. Drischman was to receive 10 per
cent. commission on all property sold,
on all repairs made and on all purchases.
Therefore, said Mr.. Cole, 'the
commissions set down represent trans
actions involving 100000. and yet Mrs.
Drischman has testified that the estate
is now worth only about $15.000."
Mr.. Cole probably will try to get the
books into the record and will cross
examine Mrs. Drischman regarding
them In an effort TO uphold the con-
tention Of the Countess that her moth
er was unduly influenced by Mrs.
Drischman. that she was not of testa-
mentary capacity and that Mrs.
Drischman disspated the estate during
the five years she had control of It,
The hearings will be continued to-
day.

On the trip from Aberdeen the plane
did not follow the water route generally
taken by seaplanes, but took the direct
land route back to Port Washington, the

lieving that 1t could make the trip with
out difficulty. The ship was flown at
ar altitude Of about 1000 feet for a
short time, but later the pilot climbed
to 10000 feet because strong head
wind made it impossible for him to get
as much speed out of the ship as 1t was
capable of making.
At 10000 feet the pilot found condi-

JACK WILL ROAR ALL RIGHT
TODAY FOR THE DENTIST
Prospect Park Lion Has Been So Quiet of Late and His
Appetite So Poor That Doctor Decided He
Was Victim of Toothache.

The dignity of Captain Jack. South
African lion in the Prospect Park Zoo
in Brooklyn. will be subjected to-day to
vigorous and premeditated assault. He
has not been himself recently. He has
refused to roar for visitors, which Is
part of his contract He has taken only
languid interest in the dinner hour.
Ordinarily when Jack sees his keeper
approaching bearing a large slab of raw
COW he licks his chops greedily. paws
the ground in anticipation and snatches
at his food just as IL he'd been brought
up in the jungle.
But for the last week Jack has toyed
with his meat in dainty, disinterested
fashion which convinced his guardians
that it would be wise to call the doctor.
When DR.. j. f. Gillespie of 218 East
Eighth street. Brooklyn, who has seen
more than one lion through whooping
cough and measles. looked Jack over he
announced the patient had severe case

of toothachh and that a large pair OF
pliers and a few hundred feet of rope
were the best remedies he could think
Of. He was particularly emphatic
about the rope.
Some time to-day the keeper who is
on the most intimate terms with Jack
will drer inside the South African s
cage. just as II he were making friend
ly CALL but he will have a big coil of
rope behind his back, and the assistance
of another keeper. They will tie Jack
up like dilapidated trunk and then call
for DR.. Gillespie.
Then, under the Doctors direction,
they will provoke Jack into either a
yawn or a roar-it doesn't much matter
which, provided it's big enough--and
insert something long enough and tough
enough to prevent Jacks jaws from clos
