CRANK LETTER BLAMED
IN EASTERN ESTATE FIRE
Mrs. Glenn Stewart Reveals Notes
Demanding $25, 900 in share
Wealth. Plea.

BY the Associated Press.
EASTON. Md, April 22.-Mrs. Glenn
Stewart, wealthy sportswoman, said
yesterday she believed crank" letters
she has received may be connected
with a fire at her palatial estate here.
She told officers one of several
menacing notes sent her recently de-
manded S25 900 in what was described
as a "share-the-wealth" plea.
She disclosed two strange men who
purported to be newspaper men" had
been arrested for trespassing on the
estate and that other suspicious char
acters had been seen there.
The blaze destroyed several small
buildings at a loss Of about 81 900 and
endangered a stable housing horses
valued at $4,000. 1t was at first be-
lieved of incendiary origin, but inves-
tigation showed it started from
chicken brooder heater.
Mrs. Stewart is the godmother Of
little Gloria Vanderbilt.
