EXPLANATION MADE OF
' EVERY TRANSACTION
Delay in Settlement of Estate Shown
to Have ' Been in Interest of the
' Property and . Other Allegations
' Are Declared Untrue. ;
William M. Ladd has filed his answer
in ths county- court to the charges et
mismanagement of the Ai H. Johnson
estate, of which he is administrator.
Mr. Ladd makes a general denial of the
complaints made against his official
acta as administrator of the estate.
Every - bualneas transaction regarding
the aetata that baa been question is ex
plained in detail in, the answer, which
comprises It typewritten pages.
On Auguat is. u. in. jonnson, x. ax.
Dunbar and J. B- Hlbbard, heirs of the
estate, filed a -petition in the county
ritnrt aakinar that Mr. Ladd be reaulred
to make his final report aa admlnlstra-'l
tor. Mr, Ladd is also trustee of certain
properties that were deeded to him' as
auch by Mr. Johnson. - -
Mr. Ladd denies that ths money which
wss borrowed for the estate from him
self as trustee was to redeem any tract
of land claimed by him aa such trustee.
The question was raised by -the com
plaining heirs that Mr. Ladd had not
settled the affairs of the estate as
quickly as they should have been settled.
In-defense of his -manner In conducting
ths bualneaa in question, Mr. Ladd de
clarea that almost all of the delay that
has been experienced in the settling up
and closing the ' estate haa been duo to
the low prloe of the landed properties of
the estate, and also of the trust estate,
Mr. Ladd maintains that he haa made
sales of portions of the property aa fast
as possible and whenever ha could gat
for any section of the land a reasonable
price. . .. - .
Mr- Ladd -In part says:
"It is not true that I have failed, or
have made no effort to take care bf, or
provide for, the payment or satisfaction
of the indebtedness of said decedent
A- H. Johnson, from the trust property,
or to relieve the other property from
the indebtedness or said estate, or that
I have at all,-or any time, acted specially
in the interests of myself or of Ladd- A
Tilton, or that I have at any time in
my conduct . of the affaire of said
estate as trustee' or admlniatrator 'ln any
way discriminated between the creditors
et eaid estate, or those Interested there
in., or have acted unfairly with any of
ths' petitioners,- or any of the bene-
nolarVes, or -any - one interested in said
estate, or property, or to their detriment
or loss. .j-'..s:'4!- . - i.
"It ia not true that X ever claimed to
be the absolute owner of said trust
property and hot., -accountable for the
application of the proceeda thereof ac
cording to the terms of said declaration
or trust What I have claimed and, now.
claim is tnat I Hold the unqualified title
to said trust property , so aa to be able
to sell the same and pass a good title
in fee to ths purchaser Cr purchasers
thereof, or of any portion of the same."
A. II. Johnson died in, 1194. At the
time of his death bis estate was ap-.
praised at-$713,000. There was an ln
dsbtsdnsae of SItt.OOO aginat the prop
