BANKERS WIFE
SUES ATTORNEY
Katherine R. Peterson Says
Lawyer Kept Her Cash

Suit TO recover approximately $780,
600 from Henry NJ. Ramey. Seattle
attorney, for alleged populations dur
ing O period of several years, was
opened in superior court on Thurs
day by Mrs. Katherine Reid Peter
son, divorced wife OF the late NJ. w.
Peterson. former cashier Of the Dex-
ter Horton bank. Mrs. Peterson
charges that Ramey. while acting as
her friend and attorney, persuaded
her to place the money in his care
and that he disslpated it.
The two met nj summer resort
at Lake Crescent In the summer of
1915, according to the statement Of
Ramey's attorney. George #. Wander
veer. at n time when Mrs Peterson
was involved In domestic troubles,
They became warm. intimate friends
and later. when Mrs. Peterson sued
for divorce and was granted the set
ilemont. valued at $4,000, she FREE
qucntly consulted Ramey as friend,
but never as an attorney. he claims.
The defense OF the suit will be that
the property turned over to Mrs.
Peterson by her husband. was highly
overvalued and was disposed of to
pay obligations incurred by her. Mrs,
Peterson alleges she gave diamond
rings TO Rnmey to keep in his safe
and that he placed them in pawn and
failed TO returned them 10 her. Two
years ago the two were in an auto
accident and suffered injuries. A set
,lcmcnt was obtained, totpling $1,000,
and Mrs. Peterson asserts she got
none OF the money. A summer home
at Port Madison was sold by Ramcy,
sho claims for $4,000. of which
amount she received only $1,000.
