THE MORNING OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 190S. 11 riPMT in nnrum 1 ribni ia umLu ON MYERS- WILL Mrs. Frances Stevens Seeks to Show Father Acted Under Delusion. - C. A.DOLPH ON THE STAND Disposition of $350,000 -Kstate Hinges on Conditions of Late Canncryman'a Mind "When In strument Wa Drawn. The will of ; George T. Myers is being contested in the County Court by suit begun yesterday morning. The effort to have the will declared void is being made by the attorneys for Mrs. Frances Stevens, daughter of Mr. Myers. As a basis for the contest, it is alleged that when Mr. Myers made the will he was under the . Insane delusion that his daughter was a party to the murder of Mrs. Sallle Myers, hl wife. The will provides that Mrs. Stevens shall receive but J20.000 of an estate said to be worth about $350,000. George T. Myers, Jr., is given the rest of the property. By the provisions of the will, he is also made executor of the estate. Mrs. Stevens asks that the property be divided, and that she receive half. Mrs. Myers died January IS, 1902. The will was drawn up May 31, 1902, and on December 3, of the same year a codicil was added. On July 12, 1907, Mr. Myers died. Mrs. Stevens is represented in court by Judge Henry McGinn, and Judge H. H. Northup. C. A. Dolph. Joseph Simon and Judge M. Ia Pipes represent her brother. The opening statement was made by Mr. Dolph. He said that although the elder Myers is alleged to have been insanely deluded in regard to his daughter, he was ensaged in managing his extensive business, and was elected State Senator the second day after the making of the will. He said Mr. and Mrs. Myers had lived very happily together for nearly 40 years. In June, 1901, she was taken ill and Dr. 9. L. Robinson, a friend of Mrs. Stevens, was called. He pronounced Mrs. Myers' difficulty sciatica and malaria. Later she had a deformity in her side and Dr. Robinson said it was a rupture. When another physician was called. It was found to be an abscess. ' Then Mr. Myers found Dr. Robinson had no license to practice in Oregon and was much, incensed. Mrs. Stevens' Case Outlined. Judge McGinn then opened the case for Mrs. Stevens. He said that when Sirs. Myers died, the Senator's mind be came unbalanced, and that he continually epoke of her as having been murdered. "The estate is appraised at $232,000," aid Judge McGinn, "but It does not In clude a cannery In Alaka worth $150,000, for which the eon had obtained a bin pale before his father's death. That it was tho intention of both Mr. Myers and his wife that the son and daughter should share equally in the property Is phown by the fact that In February, 1896, Mr. and Mrs. Myers both made wills, each leaving the property to the other and making the statement that it was to be divided equally between the son and daughter." For the most part the afternoon session was occupied with the testimony of At torney Dolph, who was placed on the stand by his colleagues to relate con versations he had had with the elder Myers. Speaking of Mr. Myers' attitude toward Dr. Robinson and of events sub sequent to his wife's illness, Mr. Dolph said: "In a conversation I had with Mr. Myers before his death he told me that ho wanted another physician called, but that Dr. Robinson said there was no doctor in Portland with whom he would hold a consultation. Mr. Myers said he had a mind to take his wife to Seattle, where she would be near his business, and he could see her frequently. He jald Dr. Robinson had told him that she tihould live in a higher altitude and that he had reluctantly consented to have her taken to Ashland. Blame Placed on rhysiclan. After Robinson had experimented on her. as Myers said, for weeks and months, another physician had been called in and had found she had an ab pcess of long standing. It had poisoned her system and broken her health. When this physician had called and found that she whs suffering with the abscess in her side, she was operated upon. She came back and died, and Mr. Myers fre quently said he believed that with proper treatment,' or if ho had had the courage to have Rent Dr. Robinson out of the house and to have employed another doc tor, she would have been alive at that time. "Tears came to Mr. Myers' eyes as we talked of his wife. He said that 11 the doctors told him that the neg lected abscess caused the kidney trou ble which resulted in his' wife's death, and that 'that egotistical old humbug experimented with my wife, and let her die, and I introduced him here as an eminent physician, and he deceived me." "Subsequent inquiry has developed the fact that he has been doing poli tics for ten years, and that he Is not a licensed physician in this state. I entreated them, before they went to Ashland, to consult with another dortor." "Did he indicate to you any belief that Dr. Robinson had been guilty of malicious murder?" asked Judge Pipes. "No." answered Mr. Dolph, ."lie said directly tho opposite. He was unspar ing in his adjectives so far as the doctor's Incompetency was concerned. The doctor had been long out of prac tice. Mr. Myers wanted somebody to treat his wife who knew her constitu tion, and the effect of climatic condi tions, instead of Dr. Robinson. He paid: "The old humbug was evidently doing the best he knew, but he didn't know anything.' Mr. Myers emphati cally denounced Dr. Robinson for standing in the way of his getting Dr. "Wilson or Dr. Rockey. "Did he mention his daughter?" ' Not Unkind Toward Daughter. "He told me that Frances, as ho callled her, seemed absolutely infatuated with Dr. Robinson, so far as his ability and eminence were concerned; that she had insisted on Dr. Robinson staying there: that she and Dr. RobinRon were in sym pathy so far as his coming to the. house was concerned. The only thing that could be construed as an unkind remark con cerning his daughter was that she was headstrong and hard to manage. I got the impression, whether it was so stated or not I don't know, that Mr. Stevens was not anxious to have Dr. Robinson in the house." Asked regarding Mr. Myers business methods. Mr. Dolph said: "In the seven years I knew Mr. Myers ' I never regarded him otherwise than as a keen, shrewd business man. I never saw anything that would indicate that he did not have a sound, sane and un usually bright mind." Mr. Dolph was asked how near May 31, 1902, when the will was made, he had seen Mr. Myers. He replied that he had made a trip up the Willamette Valley with Mr. Myers in June, and had talked with him then. "We were friends," said Mr. Dolph, "and I saw him very frequently. Inves tigations that I made after consulting with him showed that his knowledge of conditions was better than my own. "I had a conversation with Mr. Myers shortly before his death regarding a change In his will. The laet conversation we had was at the time he went through Portland, the night before he started for San Francisco. He said when he came back he was going to talk to me regard ing his will, but he didn't Indicate at that time in what respect he intended to change it. He did tell me on several oc casions that he was not quite satisfied with the distribution of his property In tho case of hls son's death. It was only the codicil which he Intended to change. He said his determination was fixed as to the will Itself. "The last time Mr. Myers talked with me he told me how strong a business man his son had developed into, and con trasted, as he had done before, the man ner of his being established in business with his own and mine. Neither of us was greatly overburdened with money when I first knew him. He had a way of throwing up to me that I had packed apples before, and apples were cheaper then than they are now. Suggests Another Doctor. "Mr. Meyers said before ha left, with his wife for Ashland that he had gone to her bedside and asked her to let him bring in another physician. He said she replied to him that It wouldn't do, that if another doctor came In Robinson would leave, and leaving the house would make trouble." Answering the questions of Judge Mc Ginn, Mr. Dolph then said that it was true that the firm of Williams & Myers had financial difficulties, but said they did not go into bankrutpcy, but made an arrangement with their creditors. The witness was next asked if Mr. Myers did not "kick up a disturbance" one day when Mr. Dolph was with him in a local bank. "Didn't he rush at Mr. Stevens and threaten to whip or strike him, and didn't you, after you left, apologize to Mr. Stevens for your presence on such occasion? Didn't you say that if you had known that was go ing to happen you would not have come?" was asked. Mr. Dolph replied that he did not, but that there was some little altercation be tween Mr. Myers and Mr. Stevens. He didn't remember that Mr. Myers ever made a disturbance. He said Messrs. Corbett, Stevens, Myers and himself were present at the time referred to. At this point Mrs. Stevens' attorneys introduced In evidence a letter written April 8, 1900, by Mr. Myers to Dr. S. L. Robinson, at Takoma Park, D. C. This letter breathes, a spirit of friendship throughout. It speaks of their "young hopeful" having mado up his mind to go to Cape'Nome, "much to our regret. We cannot see how he will be benefited either financially or in health." "Mr. Myers had no objection to Dr. Robinson on account of politics?" "The statement he made to me was that Robinson was out of practice at that time, although he might have had. a lit tle practice formerly." "He had voted for your brother as United States Senator In 1SS9, and again In 1905, hadn't he?" "I didn't know that he had." "Yes," continued Judge McGinn, "and based on that letter you have gone around here asking doctors for their expert opinion upon this case." "Dr. Bickel made no statement of the facts." replied Mr. Dolph. "He said when I asked him for what he treated Mrs. Myers, that he treated her for abscess, doubtless of long standing. "The' bank Interview was before' Christmas, 1907, for when Christmas time came. Mr. Stevens said Mr. Cor bett had been Influenced in some way by what Mr. Myers had said, to him." "He had asked Mr. Corbett to dis charge Stevens from the bank, had he not?" "No, he had not." was the reply, and with this the witness was excused. Partner Takes the Stand. William Stewart was then placed upon the wltness-etand, and testified that Mr. Myers was a good business man. He said he and Myers went Into the business of canning salmon in 1902, and that they had packed as high as 80,000 cases in one season. He said that at a low estimate this amount of fish would represent $240,000. Then followed the Introduction by the attor neys for Myers, Jr., of a number of business letters written by the elder Myers to Stewart during the months of May and June, 1902, when tho will was made. Attorneys McGinn and Northup objected to these, but they were admitted by the court. A number of checks for various amounts were also admitted, as showing the sanity of Myers at the time the will was made. Further questioning of Mr. Stewart brought Out the fact that he Is in the cannery business now with George T, Myers, Jr. The plant is located In Alaska. Mr. Stewart said he had an eighth Interest in it. He said the plant was formerly located at Seattle, and that when the elder Myers was ally Stewart had a fourth Interest In it, but that the Seattle plant was sold, and another purchased farther north. Whitney L. Boise was placed on the stand in the morning, and said he drew Mr. Myers' will and witnessed it. He said that at the time It was made Mr. Myers was violently opposed to Dr. Robinson, Mrs. Stevens, and B. F. Stevens, her husband. He said Myers thought Mr. and Mrs. Stevens should not have permitted Robinson to live with them after Mrs. . Myers' death, Mr. Boise said another will was made, but that the will in question was the last. Miss Julia KirkeV identified the signatures of the witnesses. Dr. B. Barton Pickel, of Medford, was placed upon the stand, and said he at tended Mrs. Myers in Ashland In Octo ber, 1901. He said he had discovered the abscess. Regarding Dr. Robinson he said: ' "I seo no reason why a physician possessing an ordinary degree of skill should not have discovered the abscess months before it was discovered." Dr. Pickel believed the abscesa was the primary cause of Mrs. Myers' death. Ho believed she would have recovered had it been treated properly and in time. The case will be continued this morn ing. Whichever way it is decided, it will probably go to the Circuit Court. and thence to the Supreme Court of Oregon. DAUTt SEETEORO LOGICAL REPORT. PORTLAND, Feb. 25.
