14 TEGS MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1905. CITED TO APPEftR W. M. Ladd Summoned by County Judge. MUST ANSWER IN TEN.DAYS 'Administrator of A. II. Johnson Es tate "Will Bo Asked to Show Cause Why He Should Not Be Removed. County Judge "Webster yesterday Issued a citation requiring "William M. Ladd to appear "before his court within ten days to show cause "why he should not be re moved as administrator of the estate of A.. H. Johnson, as petitioned for by the heirs. It Is not known when Mr. Ladd -will answer the summons of the court. One of the -charges made against Mr. Ladd by the petitioners and not referred to In yesterday's account deals with the settlement of the Isam "White claim of 317.000 against the estate, which was part of the Indebtedness named In the dtclaratlon of trust. The petitioners tstate that this was one of the claims which should have been paid by Mr. tLadd. It Is alleged by the petitioners In their prayer to the court asking that Mr. Ladd be removed both as trustee of the es tate and as the administrator, that not withstanding his obligations as trustee Mr. Ladd made no effort whatever to take care of the Indebtedness or to pro Tide for its payment. It Is pointed out tthat "White, on April 1C. 1894, on the day of A. H. Johnson's death and but a few hours "before that time, "brought suit in the Circuit Court for the payment of the claim held by him against Johnson, at the same time attaching a great deal of real property belonging to the defendant. Cordelia Johnson, as the administratrix of the Johnson estate, was substituted as the defendant In the suit a short time after the death of Mr. Johnson, and not withstanding the fact that there was no defense against the validity of the debt charged by White, so the petitioners set out, Ladd Induced Mrs. Johnson to con test the case on technical grounds. Upon the death of Mrs. Johnson. Mr. Ladd was Substituted as administrator of the es tate for Mrs. Johnson and became the defendant In the case, which was still pending, and continued the litigation until April 21. 1902. when the case was finally settled by the decision of the Supreme Court In favor of "White. Cloud on Ills Title. The petitioners allege that after the suit was brought by "White and before Mr. Ladd was appointed administrator of the estate, he brought suit against Mrs. Johnson and the heirs of the estate and Isam "White, asking that the deed of January 25, 1894, be reformed to take In another tract of land not Included In the deed of trust, and upon which White had filed an attachment, alleging that the at tachment by White was a cloqd to his (Ladd's) title to the land. It is alleged that prior to the final hear ing of the "White case, lots 7 and 8 In talock 5 of Portland, which had been at tached, wore sold by order of the court, hut that Mr. Ladd offered nc objection to this sale, confining his objections to the sale of a tract that included the land ventonded for and secured In his suit against Mrs. Johnson and the estate. The Johnson home was also In this list. Expense of Litigation Heavy. The expense of all this litigation was very great, so the petitioners point out. and was taxed against the estate. Includ ing 51000 allowed for White's attorney's fees. The original debt of 517,000 was evidenced by promissory notes bearing 10 per cent Interest, which had been en tered as claims against the estate. The two lots, 7 and 8, were sold to the Occi dent Investment Company for 518,000. though they had been appraised at 535,000, bs shown by Mr. Ladd's sworn Inventory of March 3, 1899. This amount realized "by the sale of the lots, not being suffi cient to satisfy the White claim, on Sep tember 18, 1903. Mr. Ladd, as adminis trator, borrowed for the estate from him self, as trustee, 516.004.48. with which to redeem the Johnson home property, which had been sold under judgment, and which was claimed by Mr. Ladd, at the same time crediting himself as administrator "with 535,000. the appraised value of the two lots which had been sold for 518,000. The Johnson home, as it appeared in the administrator's report, was bringing a monthly rental of 5175 at this time, i The Occident Transaction. The petitioners set out that the Occi dent Investment Company, which bought the lots 7 and S, of block 5. for 518.000, was organized a few days before the sale of the' lots, and that a short time after receiving a Sheriff's deed to the lots sold them to J. H. Lambert for 530,000. It Is noted that the secretary of the corpora tion who signed the deed transferrlngr the land to Mr. Lambert was one of the ad ministrator's attorneys who had repre sented him In the suit against Mrs. John Bon and White. It is alleged by the petitioners that the only transaction ever entered Into by the the Occident Investment Company was the purchase and sale of these two lots, and that it was really formed for that purpose alone. In summing up the contention, the pe titioners argue that In fostering all of the costly litigation which necessitated the sacrifice of property valued at 535.000. and the further expenditure of 516.004.48 xt borrowed money to settle an honest debt of 517.000, against which there had been no defense in the first place, the ad ministrator has failed and neglected to protect the interests of the estate, and has acted solely In his own interest and that of his bank.

Anderson, Murdered Xcar Bonneville. ' Sheriff Tom Word left last night for Denver, for the purpose of bringing Frank Gonzales, now In custody at that place, back to Portland. The charge on which Gonzales is h;Id is larceny from a dwell In?, but the local county officials have reason to believe that he may be Impli cated In a more serious offense. Frank Gonzales, who Is a barber by trade. Is known to have associated with J. L. Anderson, the man who was found murdered near Bonneville, In this county, on the night of August 17. The murdered man had but recently come to Portland from Kansas City, Mo., and at the time of his death was on his way home, hav ing been sent for by his mother. Ander son had met with several reverses while here and was known to be down on his luck, and when the request of his mother was received, the young man lost no time in caving the'clty. In some manner he was lured from the train at Bonneville, and on the night of August 17 his body was discovered In a clump of bushes near that place. His skull had been crushed with a heavy bar of railroad Iron. He was known to havo had J100 on his per son upon his departure from this city, and robbery is believed to have been the mo tive for the crime. Sheriff Word obtained a valuable clew to the probable murderer, and on the strength of the same succeeded in locat ing the missing barber, and his arrest In Denver yesterday was the result. The charge on which Gonzales Is to be re turned to this city Is larceny. The Sher iff alleges that the prisoner Is the man who Is wanted for the larceny of several articles of wearing apparel from the room of C. P. "Wilson. In a lodging-house at Third and Burnside streets, on the night of August 13. Gonzales' acquaintance with the murdered man led to his being suspected by the authorities, and. al though they are secretive as to the na ture of the evidence they have against the prisoner, they claim they have a good case. This murder was one of tho most cold blooded in the history of this county, and no effort will be spared to send the guilty man to the gallows. Governor Chamberlain Issued the neces sary requisition papers yesterday, and Sheriff Word started for Denver to bring the prisoner back to the scene of his al leged crime.

"For the first time In my Ufe of 61 years I am Impelled to publicly testify to the value of a largely adver tised article, and I certainly would not pen these lines except that what seems to me a direct act of Providence saved my life, and I am Impressed that It is a bounden duty to make It known. "For three years I kept falling with stomach and liver disorders until I was Teduced 70 pounds from my normal weight. When I got too low to treat my self, three of my associate physicians ad vised me to 'put my house in order,' for I would be quickly going- the way of all mankind. Just about that time I was put on a diet of Grape-Nuts predlgested food. Curiously enough It quickly began to build me up. appetite returned and in 15 days I gained six pounds. That start ed my return to health and really saved my life. "A physician Is naturally prejudiced against writing such a letter, but In this case I am willing to declare it from the housetops that the multiplied thousands who Are now suffering as I did can find relief and health as easily and promptly by Grape-Nuts. If they only knew what to do. Sincerely and fraternally yours." Name of this prominent physician fur nished by Postum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich.
