OF BROTHERWAS CARRIED OUT

The adverse examination in the caseof the three daughters of Mrs. A. G.Ringling vs. Charles E. Ringling and

Attorney John M. Kelley, which wasbegun before Court Commissioner E.F. Dithmar on Saturday afternoon,was continued today. As before stated

the case did not begin in the morning

because a Baraboo stenographer couldnot be agreed upon and Court Re-

porter E. H. Smith of Madison wasasked to come. The three daughters

slate they will ask for SIOO,OOO each 1and the present examination is to fur-nish the basis for the complaint to be

made.

It came out in the adverse hearingthat Otto Ringling left no will but a

letter in which he asked that his prop-erty be divided amongst the membersof the Ringling family and a few of

those associated with the show. Hedid not care for publicity and for thatreason a willwas not drawn but anexpression of his desire was made inthe letter which was followed in dis-

posing of the estate. It was his wish

that his one-fifth interest in the threecircuses go to his brother, Henry;that ihis sister, Mrs. Ida RinglingNorth to be given $100,000; that hissister-in-law, Mrs. A. G. Ringling, begiven $15,000; that his nieces, Mrs.Lorene Horton Ringling, Miss AliceRingling and Miss Mattie Ringling,(daughters of Mrs. A. G. Ringling)

be given $15,000 each; a total to thefamily of $60,000, that five employes of

the show who had bom responsibilitiesfor many years be given SIO,OOOeach;landJother sums to the remaining

nephews and niece. According to theletter, Richard Ringling, son of Mr.and Mrs. Alf. T. Ringling, was to re-ceive $250,000; Miss Hester Ringling,daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Charles E. Ringling, $50,000;Robert Ringling, son of Mr. andMrs. Charles E. Ringling, $25,000Henry Ringling, Jr., son of

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ringling,s2s,ooo.

Some of those mentioned in the last

sentence could not be paid in full be

cause there was not money enough inthe estate but as previously stated theplaintiffs and their mother were ta-

ken care of and given fullpayment.

Four employes of the show receivedSIO,OOO each, they being as follows,John H. Schnellen, $10,000; Ralph W.

Pecbham, $10,000; Samuel McCracken,$10,000; and 8. Alexander, SIO,OOO.At the time of the death of Mr. Alex-

ander he did not know that the mon-

ey was to be paid but it was given tohis family after his death. These employesare all strangers and not parties

in the probate proceedings andhad no claim against the estate butthe Ringling Brothers, did in respectto their brother, carry out his wishes,paying all in full.

According to the investigation the

desire of the deceased, as expressed in

the letter, was followed by Charles E.

Ringling and by the attorney for thebrothers, John M. Kelley. At the time

of the distribution of the property th

four brothers, Al., Alf. TANARUS., John and

Charles E. did not share in the prop

erty only as it pertained to small items

of personal effects.At the time of the distribution of

the estate the three plaintiffs in thisaction signed away further rights toshare in the property.

The adverse examination in casesof this kind furnishes the basis for the

complaint for the circuit court trial in

case it reaches that tribunal. The

trial willtake place in September in

case there is no delay or settlement.It was on the above figures that the

inheritance tax was paid.Mr. Ringling completed his testi-

mony on Monday evening and thecase was then continued to Thursdaymorning. Mr. Kelley will then tikethe stand.

The Estate As Appraised.

When Otto Ringling died March31,1911, he left an estate which wasappraised at $472,242.32. It willbe re-

called that the appraisement was first

made by citizens of Baraboo and laterthe invoice was gone over by SpecialInheritance Tax Investigator JohnHarrington and the above are hisfigures according to a report sent outfrom Madison at the time. Deceasedleft a fifth interest in three circuses;Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Baileyand the Forepaugh Sells show. Hisshare amounted to $69,039. He alsohad a one-fifth interest in the winterquarters at Baraboo and Bridgeport,Conn., bonds to the value of $218,500and much personal property.

Among the things appraised werethe animals, included in the circusesas mentioned above, and among theseare elephants worth $42,000, sixty be-ing valued at S7OO each; 300 horses at$40,000; two horned horses at$250; one yak at $150; one elk, SSO;three kangaroos, $75; twelve zebras,$2,400; many monkeys at $7 each;
