X suit te force the payment of dM
dend by a ' $20,000,000 corporation,
"snld tfi be due since the death of an of
ficial of the cbmpauy in 1012. was
brought .today by the man's widow in
Common Pleas Court. f
Ih the suit it is contended that while
the widow Is without, funds and .forced
te work in a shirtwaist factory, the
president of the corporation, herhreth-cr-ln-law,
is able te sa'tisfy every ma
terial want.
Briefly stated, Selina B. Griffiths. 10
North Fifty-second, Btrect. is the-wldew
of Edwin AV. Griffithsa former official
of the Seuthwark , Manufacturing Com
pany, who died ln..l012. A, bill of equity
waa filed some months- age 'by jher at
torney, Jehn RV iebttllA- agslnst the
head'of.fhe company, WMlIlam-B. Grif
fiths, and ether relatives, of her hus
band. Mr. Griffiths liver at Wood Weod Woed

Tbe!suU seeks te, compel v the respon respen
.dents 'te reveal) certain. facts relating' te
the history, of the Company, their re
spective interests therein and what in
terest, If. any. her. husband had In the
corporation at. the time of his death.
Today's suit, wa8 .filed against Wil
Ham B. Griffiths, individually.'
The-widow contends that her husband
was entitled te at least one-sixth In
terest 111' thftifSeuthwnrk Mnnnfnetnmnv
Company, and that she Is entitled te
receive ene-hft'f. but that her brother-'
inlaw has defrauded her of this inter
est. By means of it, she contends,
she would be enabled te live In com
fort and even enjoy luxuries, instead
of being obliged te work in a factory.
The claim of Mrs. Griffiths is that
William H. Griffiths, one of the
founders', created a trust for his son',
who was her husband, and that Wil
liam B. Griffiths was simply a trus
tee te collect the income nnd di di
vlde equally . between himself and
his brother Edwin. That nil dividends
were turned ever te the fnther. William
H., and he distributed te both Edwin
W. and William B..' until his death In
lOOn, after which the son. William B.,
continued te pay Edwin his share until
the latter died thrce years later.
Since her husband's denth the widow
says she has received nothing.

something mere thr.n' the conventional

that the simple things ire the only per

It Is just this feeling which impels,
him te seek relief from office and its
