PRICE, i t J 0 A YEAR Is Wanted Before Gowdy Settles , •* Judge Smarts Under Request/For a State Examiner - - WaTtfRefused To Sign Vindication Paper - New Action In Probate Court. For several weeks the story has been put oUtj by the Gowdy-Marahall "poison squad” that the Lytle estate had been settled and there was noth- ingto the report published weeks,ago In the Herald, You no doubt have heard the denial. We htwe paid no attention to jt knowing that such was not the case. Judge Gowdy has had control of this estate for seven years and James B. Watt has been trying to get possession of property due his family as heirs _und«*r the will, Lost week Mr, John A, McClain, recently retired farmer, wrote a let­ ter to State Examiner Clifton asking for an examination of this case and another in which Judge Gowdy is in­ terested in. Then we beghh to' hear criticism of Mr. McClain for"butting in” as one of the gang followers put it. I t seemed to dlsple&sq the Gowdy- Marshall followers because Mi*; Me Lean wrote a, simple letter request­ ing an examination in behalf of a friend. Monday Judge Gowdy displayed and the check Thursday another motion was file; in Probate. Court demanding on the grounds that the.former report, was not a final settlement that he be required to file another, S The petition .sets forth a denial off the last account filed. I t says tha t an set* belonging to the heirs are still in the hands of the executor, Judge Gowdy. That disbursements have been inade since the last supposed account was filed ppd that" additional funds have come into his possession since the ICIt accatet '.van filed. Tha'iGlrig of this petition will require a hearing in the i rotate Court The estate has been under the pon trol of Judge Gowdy for more than seven years and Mr. Watt had to move from Chicago to Xenia, his former home, .to force action. While a resi­ dent of Chicago he sent many regie tered letters to Mr. Gowdy trying to get a settlement but coutd get no re ply. Mr. Watt turned over a check to Mr. Gowdy for sveral hundrel dollars to pay inheritance t|ax<'3 signs o f wanting to settle with Mr. Woftt. Why the Judge Should want to ■settle something his friends were telling had. been settled made the situation the more complex. * Messrs. Watt and Gowdy met Mod- day, the first for ‘some time. What all took place and what was1said‘we are unable' to report. I t ‘is known that before offer*of Settlement waa talked ;■Mr, Gowdy demanded that Mr. Watt sign a certain paper, which he didmot get to read, .nor was it read to him, was caahed, but the "giving Gowdy vindication. . This was Part of Mr, Wait, by * some off- his inheritance tax was u%iid until a few months back, and then there was a penalty added as the law ^provided. It was nearly three years from time Mr. -Watt sent the check until the inheritance ta.x was paid. ■Unless there is some hasty, action some unusual movement will be star l~ ed against Judge Gowdy for the way he has handled the Lytle estate. I t is hinted-that charges leading to dis­ barment will goon follow, iffnot on the refused. The "settlement was-as far distant &3 ever, regardless of the reports put out by the "poison Squad” srs«i n fee hfi§. fipeh’aftico^reu that in 1924 ‘Judge Gowdy filed what was de­ clared to be a final account of the t ytle estate. AS the law requires a earing within a certain time, that . time is past arid that'report canpnot, questioned. . • l The boldness of Judge Gowdy in filing such an account when there is yet stock belonging* to the estate in the Pure Oil Co., and other assets, has- the. legal fraternity halfled. Not only has the judge this stock in his pos- friends.- Attorneys say the case is without precedent in Ohio.- That * Judge off NOTHING COULD BE SJJCKER By A. H.
