THE GAMMELL WILL CASE !

The Sydney, C. B., Sensation.

[ Continued. } FINANCIAL TROUBLES.

Daring the last year of his life, Mr. Gammel! bad experienced considerable trouble with some pariies in reierence te financia) matt rs, and was greatly irritated on discovering that a note to

which his signature was said to have)

been forge’, had been discounted at the bank. He worried a great deal at the thought that his simature could be tor- ged. He inight lose a great deal of money that way, and as ho had lost a large sum of money since his retire- maent from business in 1860, he feared where the thing wouldend. And ifhis name could be ferged to a note, that was successiul in passing the eye of a discount clerk in a bank, might it not be success‘ully forged to other instru ments? |lowever as the note was duly paid when it fell due, nothing more was said about it at the time. MR. GAMMELL'S DEATH.

During the first day of July. 1879, Mr. Gammell felt unwell. On the 3rd he was visited by his physician—Dr. MasLarthy, and his minister Rev. Mr. Wilson. He chatted cheerfully, and did not appear to have any idea of the near approach of <leathi. No apparent change in his cenditon was noticed un- til the evening of the next day, July 4th, when, after winding the clock, and remarking that he hadset it on a quarter of an hour, he said he felt faint. His wife immediately bathed his face and hands,and fifteen minutes later he died. Though

79 YEARS OF AGE, his death was considered to be a very sudden one. It called forth general expressions of regret. His funeral toek place twa days later, and it is said to have been one of the largest ever seen in Cape Brton. His will, leaving all his property to his wife—was fyled ia the Probate Court, and the value of the estate proved under $67,000. No execu tors having been named, Mrs. Gammell became so!e executrix, and Senator T. D. Archibald and Mr. W. H. Mooro were appointedappraisers. Two months jater Mr. | mrie,Mrs.Gammeil’s brother, ealled at Sydoey on his way home to Scotland from a trip to the United States andi Canada,and she being here ali alone, and almost without a friend, was induced to accompany him home fer a trip EViL REPORTS.

With the death of Mr. Gammell’s dearth spread all kinds of rumors. ‘He died very suddenly. He had left all his money and preperty to his wife, and thus

DISAPPOINTED THE HOPES, of a great many relatives and friends. He had le/t nothing to the church —and he an Elder for forty years. He was supposed to be the richest man in Cape Breton—io be worth all tho way from $150,000 to $300,000. He was known to bave sent Messvs. Bauld and Gibsen of Halifax, who were his agents, $20,- 000 on one eccasion to invest in City Debentures. He had large amounts en deposits in various bauks. When he died Mrs. Gammell had not invited her

neighbors (her bitter enemies) to assist:

in ‘laying him out,’ but had done so herself with the help of the servants ; he was not ‘ dressed after the American style, buc after the Scotch fashion. Mrs. Gammell was conscience stricken, and had gone home soon after her hus- bands death,’ &c., &c, These and a hundred and one other rumors, which increased in absurdity as they increased in number, spread with more than ordi- nary rapidity, and were in every ene’s lips. Putting this and that tegether shrouded the whole affair in mystery, 4 CLAIM FOR $17,000.

Some months agoa young man named Thomas McLellan, well-known to sever- al merchants in your city, putin a elaim against Mr. Gammeli’s estate, for the sum of $17,000. This sum, 1 am told, is made up of $10,000 for money loaned or banked ; $3,000 or $4,000 for inter- est, and the remainder of the sum for sundry services and accounts. 1am teld that McLellan holds Mr. Gammell’s note of und for the $10,000. The case is now before the Courts. J may say that I was shown, not long ago, a re- ceipt for charged in the $17,000 bill. This to. gether with oiher important informa tion, will doubtless be produced at the proper time.

A SECOND WILL.

Just one vear aiter Mr. Gammeli’s deat), | am told that Mr. McLellan wailed o> the parties whose names are are 4: entioned, informed them that Mr. Gammell’s last Will and Testa- ment wis in possession,’and demanding as the price of his producing the Will, twenty-iive per cent. of the amount be- queathed to each person, on receiving the bequest. The percentage was con- sidered to high, and a premium of tweive anda half per cent, was, I un-

$500 ef an item of $300,

lderst&nd, finally agreed upon. I am ‘told that he also received from these ‘heirs a hoad guaranteeing $1,000 of bis lelaim. The Will was produced. It was ‘feund to be in McLellan’s hand-writing, | purporting to be signed by Mr. Gam-

The document | was published in the North Sydney | Herald, and caused intense excitement, lespecialiy among the parties interested, land their friends. I should have said lthat Mr. Mefionnan’s explanation of [having possession of this Will, is repor- ted to be to the effect that previous to his death, Mr. Gammell (ef whom Me- Lellan snxys be was an intimate friend) told him that he had lost confidence in his wice, and that he was convinced that she only wanted his money ; that he had at one time made a Will, leaving a portion ef his property to bis rela ltives and friends, but that she bad torn itup, and that he had made anethaer Wili leaving the whole of his property to her, she promising to make certain bequests. to his relatives, friends and the church; but thathe fearing she weuld not carry out his intentions, wanted to make his last Will and Tes- sament with him (McLellan) to be pro- duced one vear after his death, if she bad vot made the deposition of his pro- perty inteaded by him, She not having done so, he was prepared to produce that document on being guaranteed a cer- tain perceatage. The terma were agreed upon, and the document was produced, and published. It is dated April 2 Let, 1879, and bequeaths $58,000 to his rela- tives and $2,000 to his wife.
