rather painstakingly In circuit court
Wednesday morning by Mrs. Paul

called In an equity suit Involving
contest of a gift made by tt-e late
Gus Melhase, Klamath county
pioneer.
Mrs. Robertson, niece of Gus Mel

In Germany, Immigrating to the
United States in 1868, settling in
Hannibal, Mo., moving to Fort
Klamath and finally to Klamath
Falls In the early days of the 20lh
century.
Her story was background ma
terial for the establishment of testi
mony that Gus Melhase had 18
nieces and nephews who were his
legal heirs but who did not Inherit
the pioneer's estate because he had
given most of his money ana pro
perty to Mr. and Mrs. John C. Cleg
horn about 18 months before his
( ath in 1946.
Included In the gift was a half
Interest In the Wlthrow-Melhase
corporation, at that time owner of
the Melhase building, 4th and Main.
The Cleghorn family already owned
the other half Interest in the cor
poration. This suit was brought bv admin
istrators of the Gus Melhase otaie.

wielded undue Influence over Mel
hase, then over 80 years old. In ob
taining the gift.
Portland Attorney Peter A.
Schwabe and J. H. Carnahan are
representing the administrators, D.
E. Van Vector and A. W. Schaupp
