Friend and Counselor.
Shima, young athletic Japanese
entered Mrs Henderson's employ some
years ago. He ingratiated himself with
Mrs. Henderson by his devotion to duty
efficiency, intelligence and spoliteneSs
AS a reward he became her confidential
secretary, friend and counselor.
When the litigation over Mrs: Who
lean developed early last February
Shima received reporters at Mrs
Henderson's Fifteenth street residence
and volunteered to do most of the talk
ing for his employer. At the time Mrs
Henderson was extremely feeble ano
her replies to questions often seemed
incoherent. Shima said he was ham,
ding Mrs. Henderson's affairs for hel
and he spoke of engaging attorneys tc
represent her in the suit against Mrs
Wholean.
In several interviews at that time Mrs
Henderson declared that "Trixie," a:
she called Mrs. Wholean, was not hel
granddaughter and she denied any
recollection Of having adopted her, de-
spite her signature on court papers
She and Shima both insisted that Il
she had signed such papers, she hac
done so under a Misrepresentation as tt
their nature.
