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.
