Hew Mrs. Park Benjamin, widow of a naval ex pert nml patent ntterncj, huh been fc qucstercd In n private Minltarliun at Geshen, N. Y for the last twelve years, and hew her hunbatid had net visited her except en two occasions dur ing the last nevcn years, en me te light yesterday. It was learned that she had been saved from the ignominy of becoming a charity patient at the Institution only through the Intervention of her late fcen-in-law, Enrice Cnrtisu who can.e te the rescue with funds which Benjamin had declined te advance. tern. Benjamin was committed te the sanitarium of Dr. l' W. Heward nt Geslun In 1010 suffering from n slight mental disorder. She Is the mother of two of the llcnjamln children, Ho He meyn Uenjamln and Dorethy Park Benjamin. The three remaining chil dren aie her step-children. Warned Sanitarium Benjamin, It developed, hnd done but little for Ilia wife during recent enrn after MKs Bolchi had come Inte his life. Four years age, when Dr. Seward wrote Mr. llcnjamln that he would be. compelled te nU additional remunera tion for the cure of the demented pa tient, because of the upward trend of prices, Bcnjnmln wrote te th'j effect that It was none of his business if the sanitarium could net profitably carry out the financial teims of the agreement' made nt the time Mrs. Benjamin enter ed the place, Bather than ttfrn the nged patient ' out, Dr. Seward maintained her en the Matus of a charity patient for a num ber of years, or until her son-in-law, Caruso, learned of her condition. There upon he advanced Dr. Seward the funds necessary te make up the defaulted payments, nml also paid the cxpensc of an operation Mrs. Benjamin was com pelled te undergo. This latter cost him $700, it was said. At the time Benjamin proposed te adept Miss Bolchi, papers in the adop tion case were sent te Mis. Benjnniin In care of Dr. Seward. The latter, Upen learning the nature of the papeis his patient had been asked te sign, promptly returned the adoption papers te Mr. Benjamin unsigned, stating that Mrs. Benjamin wa-i in no condition te be n pnrt te such a proceeding. Thus was the adoption blocked in this State. Benjamin later went te Pennsylvania and obtained court sanction for the adoption of the gill. Cauise and his wife nnd their little daughter, Gleria, wen- frequent visitors of .Mis. Benjamin, Mis. Frederick W. Goddard, formerly Miss. Gladys Ben jamin, daughter of the late Mr. Ben jamin, raid at her home, 101 East Eightv-first street. "Whether or net wc will fight the will, I inn net yet sine. My brother Is attending te that. As yet, though, we have done nothing. Father's death cnine se suddenly and we are all se fearfully upset. We have net even turned the matter ever te our attorneys nnd may possibly decide net te. The matter Is entirely in my brother's hands. "There nre but two reasons that I can give te account for father's attack. One Is the fact that after the marriage of my .stepsister, vporethy, te) Mr. Caruso, we all steed by her and refubed te give her up. My father, .veu of course knew, thoroughly disapproved of the match, nml would have nothing te de with Doiethy after the mailage. The ether and perhaps most luipurtnnt rea rea fcen Is lieenuse we did strenuously object te the adoption of Miss Bolchi, a woman almost old enough te be the mother of his children."
