Ramey, a Seattle jattorney, for alleged peculations dur- ing a period of several years, was !opened in superior court on Thurs- |day by Mrs. Katherine Reid Peter- |son, divorced wife of the late M. W. | Peterson, former cashier of the Dex- ter-Horton bank, Mrs. Peterson charges that Ramey, while acting asj |her friend and attorney, persuaded |her to place the money in his care «and that he dissipated it. The two met at a summer resort at Lake Crescent in the summer of 1915, according to the statement of Rame attorney, George F, Vander- veer, at a time when Mrs, Peterson was involved in domestic troubles. They became warm, intimate friends and later, when Peterson sued for divorce and was granted the set- itlement, valued at $40,000, she fre- quently consulted Ramey asa friend, | | but never as an attorney, he claims. The defense of the suit will be that the property turned ov to Mrs. Poterson by her husband, was highly overvalued and wi di sed of to pay obligations incurred by her. Mrs, Peterson alleges she gave diamond rings to Ramey to keep in his safe and that he placed them in pawn and failed to returned them to her, Two years ago the two were in an auto accident and suffered injuries, A set- | tlement was obtained, totaling $1,500, and Mrs, Peterson asserts she got jnone of the money.
