Brcardon who has brought a $500,- 000 action against the estate of the late Eiden C. Dewitt, patent medi- cine millionaire. asking performance of a contract to pay her $11000 Ii month for life. _ -

Mrs. Breardon, 4B, charged she was inoculated with germs of a virulent disease in 1910 by Dewitt. after he had offered lior $1.000 a month for ‘life if lihe would submit to his in- oeulati ‘LIB, at the same time appeal- ing to her sympathy as a benefactor to science.

NO PIOVISION.

Later Mrs. Brendon said she dis- covered the nature of the disease. and that although Dr. Dewitt ad- mitted its identity. he made no ef- fort to cure her. even stopping her monthly pay ts after five months. At his deat , she said, no provision had been made for her in his will.

The case said to be unique in lull circles, was‘ filed yesterday by a‘.- temeys after a eourtof appeal had nutained an earlier decision in Mrs. Jreardon‘: favor. This was later re- versed by the appellant division which granted the higher hearing.
