Chihcago, Sept. S. The mystery surrounding the will left by Mrs. James H. McVicker was partially dispelled 3'esterday by an announcement from Dr. L. C. H. E. Zeigler that no n, , , . . far as he knew only the one instru - ment existed. Dr. Zeigler, however, said he would be none the less active in asserting his rights, and hinted that he had entered into a contract . m a a. . . i with Mrs. McVicker by which he was to receive $100,000 in a lump sum and $o,000 annually tor abandoning his practice in Chicago and for giving all his attention to Mrs. McVicker. These matters are quite, likely to be aired in the Probate Court this fore noon when the will may be filed. Dr. Zeigler made public a letter al leged to have been written by L. D. Condee, formerly Mrs. McVieker's and now Horace McVickers's attorley, four years ago, "to prove," as ie explained, "that Condee 's state ments should be taken with at least a arain of salt." The letter is. as fol lows : Chicago, Sept. 4, 1900. Mrs. J. H. McVicker, Chicago, 111. My Dear Mrs. McVicker: As you no doubt remember, a few months ago there was con siderable con t rovers v over Dr. Zeigler. I have given the matter careful investigation and consideration and have come to the conclusion that Dr. Zeigler is more sinned against than sinning. There is nothing bad about the man; he is a hard worker and a. man who, in my judgment, is trying to do the right thing. If I am correct in this, then I feelthat it is my duty, and the duty of all others who come into contact with him, to treat him as a gentleman. I write this letter for the purpose of disabusing your mind of any prejudice which may have been lodged therein. Very respectfully yours, ; L. D. CONDEE. Mr. Condee said, he had no recollection of having ever written such communication to Mrs. McVicker of to any other person. Dr. Zeigler also otft maA"hv Mrs. McVicker three vears asro. which follows: ' ' Chicago, uly 24, 1901. To the Court, Jury and People of Illinois: This is to certify that to my knowledge by his confession, Mr. Condee has conspired with others to ruin Dr. Zeigler 's business and ; good reputa-j tion. He (Mr, Condee) declared hi3 persecution would be ' unto death. The attached letter I received personally from Mr. Condee and turn same over to Dr. Zeigler to protect him against Mr. Condee s unscrupulous and heinous villiany, which he may again attempt to exercise against the doctor in court or civil life. HARRIET G. M'VICKER. Dr. Zeigler also stated that he knew nothing of the alleged shortage of $69,000 in Mrs. McVicker 's funds, saying he never had received, any money from her, although he had r expected Some financial : 'compensation for his services.

These allowances were refered to the Wayne .County Council at its meeting on the 0th. The complete budget was allowed, with the exception of the Hunt bridge $8,000.
