PEACHES BROWNING HEARS GOOD NEWS Court Permits Case to Be Filed Against ex-Husband Bitting in her dressing the Strand theater playing a three-day “Peaches” Browning yesterday af ternoon received news of a new lawsuit against her millionaire hus- band, Edward W. (“Daddy™) Browning. which, 1f successful, will give her an interest in his real es- tate valued at more than $100.000. The news was brought to her iy her manager who had reccived a wire from Judge Daniel J. Cohalan, attorney for Mra. Biowning in action in which she seeks to b set aside transfers of her husban property alleged to have been made fraudulently shortly before their marriage in an effort to deprive her of the dower to which a wife is en- titled under New York statutes. Beveral pieces of property, the value of which is placed at $350.000, arc mentioned in the suit Action in Court for Months The action has been pending be- fore the supreme court of New York county for several months. Court procedure in the Empire state requiring that a prima facie case be made out before a fraud ac- tion can be entertained, it nec- essary for Mrs. Browning's attorneys to enter into considerable litigation and court argument. Justice Lydon today announced a finding permit- ting the matter to go on the court docket, and “Peaches’ 'is now pre- pared to push the issue. Commenting on the case, Mrs. Browning told a Herald man she ‘was confident the New York courts will find for her. S8he claims Brown- ing, realizing that none of the hold- ings of a corporation are available to & wife as dower, created the Ed- bro Realty Co. and transferred his New York properties into the cor- poration, some of the transfers be- ing made as late as one hour before their marriage at Cold Springs less than two years ago. “Peaches” has been on the vau. Weville stage since shortly after her separstion from her husband. Dur- ing this period she has traveled from coast to coast.

Robert W. Stewart of Chicagn chairman ot the board of the Stand ard Oil Co., of Indiana, is sched | uled to go on trial in October in the District of Columbia federa! cour: | tary of the interior, likely will face a jury before winter. He has been ill ‘and his trial on a charge of con- spiracy to defraud has been post- poned for tha’ reason. The gov ernment s expected o démand the trial before cold weather, as Fall probably could not stand the climate here at that time. That. probably, will constitute th. court room fireworks. The other si issues are decisions on appeals. Pending in the District of Colum- bia court of appeals are: The appeal of Harry ¥. Sinclair from a sentence of three months in Jail and a $500 fine after his con viction for rcfusing to answer ques- tions of the senate committee nearly four years ago. The appeals of Henry Mason Day. vice president of the Sinclair Ex- ploration Co.; W. J. Burns, founde; of the Burns International Detec- tive Agency; W. Sherman Burns, manager of the agency, and Sinclair, from contempt of court convictions. The four were found guilty by Jus- tice Frederick L. Siddons in the Instrict of Columbia supreme court which ended in mistrial. Sinctah, tuter tried alone, was acquitted. On the contempt convictio clair was sentenced to six w jail Day to four months; W. J. Burns to 15 days and W. Sherman Burns to pay a fine of $1.008, In addilion to the indictment against Fall for conspiracy to de- fraud there is pending also indict- ments growing out of what has i.een called the $100,000 loan to Fall Ly Edwin L. Doheny, when the money was delivered to the ther secretary of the interior in the le black satchel.” Doheny is charged with giving Fall a bribe and Iall is charged separately with ac- cepting a bribe. Stewart's case is regarded as out- standing. He is charged with hav- ing committed perjury in his testi- mony before the senate oil commit- tee last February. The testimony had to do with his knowledge of the transaction of the Continental Trad- ing Co.. of (‘anada, whose trail was tirst tapped in the trial ef Sinclair and Fall charged with conspiracy to defraud the government in negotiat- Listrict of Columbi. ~ «pre on two cp-r s of contempt agains!

The second charge against Black- mer was filed when he refused to return as witness in the Sinclair trial last April and the court or- dered another $100,000 of his prop- crty seized. No action, however, has heen taken in that direction. Jus- tice Siddons likely will hear argu- ments in both cases in October. DUSTRY BOOMS El Paso, Tex. Sept.
