’ } LETS ON FOR THE FAIR MILLIONS Poor Relatives of the Wife of the Millionaire, Who Was Killed in Auto Ac- cident, Seek $6,000,000 Estate. 4aN ODD POINT IS INVOLVED. + <M Is Asserted that Charles L. _. Fair, Who Was Killed with His | Wife in the Accident, Died | First, That the Estate Thus | Went to Her and So Her Rela- " tives Are Now Heirs. Ctniming that they were tricked into accepting the settlement of the Fair _@rtate, tho relatives of Mrs. Charles 1. Fair, who with her husband was killed fn an automobile accident near Paris Jest August, have repudiated the com- Promise and brought suit to compel the @mecutors to give them what they de- @lere to be their rightful share of the estate, ‘The papers in the suit were filed in the County Clerk's office here to-day, ‘The question hinges mainly on the old potnt aa to who died first, Mr. or Mrs. | Fatr. The claimants assert that the Husband did, and therefore that what ‘was his passed first to the wife and then to her heirs. ‘The sult is brought In the name of Mrs. Hannah Nelson, mother of Mri Walr, her children and their children. Papers were served in New York last Wednesday on Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs @nd Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, jr. sisters of Mr. Fair. James E. Chandler. a lawyer, of No. 15 Broadway, represents Mrs. Nelson nd the other claimants, and to an Evening World reporter outlined the points on which they rely to @et aside the settlement. According to iis statement, which gives the first definite information made public re- gard to the terms of the settlement, the @latmants, instead of getting $1,000.00 or More, actually received only a compara. tively emall amout and promises which mever have been fulfilled. Just What They Received. “Under the agreement,” said Mr. “Chandler, “Mrs. Nelson was to receive $125,000 in cash, certain portions of the Jewelry of her daughter, some silver- ‘were on deposit in the Crocker bank fm Gan Francisco. and some household furniture in storage in this c She thas received the $125,000 in cash, but ‘ever any of the Jewelry. silverware or furniture, Her children and grand- ehildren received the specific legacies given them by Mrs, Fair In her will— $10,000 each—upon their assenting to the @greement entered into in San Frat. eisoo last August. This money was paid by Mrs. Fair and rMs, Oelrichs. Mrs. “Nelson, as we claim, was sole -hetr to $9,000,000. The two sisters induced her to release all her right, title, and {n- ferent In the estate in consideration of yhaving paid her this smal] amount of “What about the claim that the settle- ent was made on terms first suggested Mri, Nelson?’ Mr. Chandler was asked. Wanted Half of the Estate: “That is entirely untrue, He Proposition was to take one-half of the estate as in the way of compromise and to avold Htigation, She never made any @ugzestion of anything less than one- halt of the estnte. The other elde com- amenced with an offer of $50,000, and the mext day made an offer of $15,000, which was accepted under ths belief that Mrs. Nelson was getting the best she could Within the last ten days she has dis- covered the facts about the survivor- @ntp and promptly disatlirmed the set- tlement and offered to restore everything | provided the other side would put her Kk in the same position she was in before the wettle- ment was made, This offer was refused and the action was commenced.” t Is vaid the settlement fected on false representations, true?” Says Husband Died F “The other side secured it on the re- port that Mr. Fuir survived his wife, In that case, under the laws of California, this heirs, who were his sisters, Mra. Oelrichs and Mrs, Vanderbilt, would in- herit not only his entire estate, but also mil of the estate of the wife which was not given away in legucies. The however, is that Mr. Falr waa killed first, on the spot, his head crushed tn, qwhile the wife lved for an hour,’ “On what do you base that con- @lusion?’ : “On the evidence of the witnesses, of the physician who examined the bodies @hortly after death and of the distin- she had received, was is ate @uished gentleman who embalmed the bodies It is all to the same effect— that the wife survived the husband, Bhe was thererore entitled to his estate, @nd us she died without husband, chil- dren or father, Mrs. Nelson, aer mother, inherited her entire estate, except what @be bequeathed In her will, and also the entire estate of her husband,” “But it has been generally believed that Mi, and Mre, Fair died simultane- Why They Think He Died Firat. “Eyidence in our possession shows it tbat is not true, Mr, Bair struck and was ‘telescoped,’ as the expre: hi eink dtiven into b —his ‘heart and lungs.
