S1)O,0DO,O()O GIFT
W|LLED TO CHARITY
! Allotment of Wendell Estate
to Follow Death of
Last Survivor.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August "A fortune in
real estate estimated at upwards of
Sl00,000,o00, which three generations of
Wendels have spent their lives amass-
ing is to go to charity when frail lit
tie old lady, last of the Wendell line,
dies
TIE will of Mrs. Rebecca Wendell
Swope, who died July 90 was filed yes
terday and provides for that disposition
Of the Wendell holdings after the death
Of her sister, Miss Ella, now 80.
Mrs. Swope, at the request of her
sisters, had held all the Wendell proper
ties in her name after the death Of
their brother, John, Is years ago. She
was the only one that married.
Mrs. Swope left her personal prop
erty to a nephew by marriage, George
She also made bequeaths of over $4,000
to relatives, servants and charities.
Fourteen Charities to Profit.
The residue. after the death of Miss
Ella, who left the entire estate, most of
1t in trust, Is to be divided among Il
charities.
The Wendell family for years has been
an enigma to the rest of New York.
Living in an old brownStone mansion at
Fifth avenue and Thirty-ninth street,
they resisted all progress, lived in al
most n10nastic simplicity and refused to
Sell any of their real estate holdings.
The family fortune was founded in
the nineteenth century by John Wendell,
q fur trader and contemporary of the
first Astors. With the turn of the pres
ent century. there remained only seven
grandchildren, six sisters and one
brother. The brother, who also bore
the Christian name John, forbade his
sisters to marry, saying no man was
good enough for them.
One Descendant Fiees to Europe.
One, Georgiana, firing of the re-
stricted life, fled to Europe. On her
return her brother had her declared
insane and committed to an asylum
She finally won her freedom and sued
her brother for $4,000. but dropped the
suit and returned to the old Fifth ave-
nue. home, there to live out her life be-
hind closed shutters She died in 1929.
One by one the sisters passed away
until now only Miss Ella is left. As did
her sisters, she dresses only in black
satin, cut in the mode of 40 years ago
and sewed by her own hands. She
never leaves the house. so far as is
known, except to walk her aged fat
poodle in the yard behind the house
known as the 'n1illion-dollar dog run"
because of the value of the property
and the fact that it is used for no
other purpose.

Amidst hysterical remarks anc

The letter says that "the Reds are
'confiscating lands, destroying title
