The court in imposing fines of $50

HILL HEIRS FIGHT
FOR VAST ESTATE
Brother Charged With Fraud
in Obtaining Property
From Mother.

NEW YORK, September 27.-Three
OF the nine surviving children of the
late James ]. Hill. Northwest "empire
builder" today filed suit against one
of their brothers, Lewis William Hill.
for the return of property which they
claimed he obtained from their late
mother, through fraud and undue in
fluence"
The complaint charges that Louis
Hill "wrongfully induced the widow oil
the "empire builder" Mary I. Hill, to
make the transfer at time when she
was too weak physically and mentally
to exercise her own judgment freely.
When the railroad builder died In
1916, the complainant recltes, Mrs
Hill made her home in st. Paul with
Louis The nine children, the papers
saw. decided to their mother the Ram
sey County property, a stock farm
valued at $25O,000, which had come TO
them with the bulk of the estate of
the elder Hill, who died intestate.
Mother Ill For Months.
From December, 1919, to the time OF
her death in November, 1921, Mrs.
Hill. the plaintiffs allege, was con-
fined to her bed ana SO weak pHS
sically and mentally and in such con-
dition that she could be easily i'm
posed upon" 1t was during this
period, the plaintiffs charge, that
Louis took advantage of his mother s
condition, induced her to draw up the
deed to the Ramsey County property
conveying it to him. and wrongfully
induced her to sign and attest II. Inc
deed, they allege, was not recorded at
the time of its execution and its eX-
istence did not become known TO them
until a month after Mrs. Hilis death.
1t was also during this period, ac-
cording to the complainant, that
Louis induced his mother to sign
over to him the railroad securities
which, the plaintiffs assert, should
have gone into the estate of their
father and which they had shared
The suit seeks to have set aside a
deed to property in Ramsey County
Mimi, and a conveyance of railroad
bonds with an exchange value OF
100000. The plaintiffs are James \
Hill, Mrs. Ruth Hill Beard and Wal
ter j. Hill. A fourth plaintfff Is
