Dooo Fight Over $100,000 Fortune Left to Mercer Will Cause Executor Currier to Quit- Relatives of the late Mrs. Barbara K. Do<l(l will contest her will which h««iueathed the bulk of her fortune, approximately $100,000, to Mercer University. Charles R Currier, ex ecutor, has been Informed of the pro posed contest by Mrs, Fannie T. Ack erman, of New York, sister of Mrs. Dodd. A breach with her relatives several year • aj?o caused Mrs. Dodd, widow of the late Philip Dodd, a wealthy At lantan. to destroy a will executed In 1906, in which a considerable sum wsjx set aside for her brother and sister anti their children. It is said a disagreement following the estab lishment of a sanitarium at Mrs. Dodd’s old residence on Whitehall Street, by the sons of Henry S. Pibbl har brother, led to the e i *trangement Attorney <\ P. Goree. who drew the last will, said it was clearly Mrs, Dodd’s Intention that little be left her relatives. "Mrs. Dodd had considerable trouble with her nephews p.hout a loan on ;i sanitarium established some years ago," skid Mr. Goree “In fact, she had to take tire matter Into the courts for h settlement * "That Is why the Mercer bequest "as not in the form of an endow ment, but as a fund to be loaned de serving young men 1 have not been Informed of any intention to contest the will and I can not see what grounds the contest will b« based upon." It is recalled that Mrs. Dodd be queathed to her brother, Henry S Dibble. $5,000 to be held in trust, that he was to receive only the pro ceeds from its investment, and that at his death the amount was to re vert to the Mercer fund To her sis ter.
