BARES HER LIFE
 FOR HER DAUGHTER
Rhode Island Woman Seeks Share Of MilliOnaire'S Estate

New York, March 7.--Asking $50,- GOO for her child. who she says Is the daughter of the late Fields S. Pendleton, mlllianaire Brooklyn shipbuilder, Mrs. Dorothea V. Con- nor of Providence, k. l., appeared in Brooklyn surrogate court yesterday in connection with a petition to be recognized as creditor of the Pen delton estate. His children, as ex- ecutors, are fighting the action.
 Through her counsel. Mrs. Con- nor told the story of her alleged re- lationship for five years with the el- derly skipbuilder. She said, too, that she was married at Pendleton's request to Harry Connor, Boston business man, whom she said she first rejected in order to live with Pendelton. Connor is assisting her in her court fight.
 Mrs. Connor's counsel said that she first met Pendleton in 1916, when she was employed by Connor, who at that time was her sutor. She be- came infatuated with Pendleton and agreed to live with him as common law wife, her counsel said, with the understanding that he was formally to marry her later. At that time, she alleged, she did not know that he was already married. Her counsel said Pendleton established her in Boston, where he visited her regu. larly.
 The attorney said that when she told Pendleton she was to become 2 mother and urged him to marry her he admitted he was married, but promised to settle $50,000 on the child. He induced Connor to marry her, according 10 the attorney, tc give the child name. The marriage took place in October, 1920, and ir January 1921 Alice Barbara was born. The promised settlement was not made, despite repeated assur. ances, Mrs. Connor's counsel said and Pendleton died year later. Winifred and Fields S. Pendleton Jr, administrators of their fathers estate, entered categorical denia of Mrs. Connor's allegations.
