Dear Mr.Melenyzer: I have exhibited the alleged Will of Joseph F.Gysegem to his widow Mabel A.Gysegem.While we have serious doubts as to the freedom of choice,or the lack of it,that the late Mr.Gysegem may have had in ((1 952,we do not intend contesting the Will on the grounds of incompe- tency at this time;however,we are specifically reserving the right o raise the issue of his competency should we desire to do so in the future. ~bvioUS1Y Mabel A.Gysegem,the widow of Joseph F.Gysegem,will elect~o take against the alleged Will,if and when it is ever admitted to Probate. ~e formally notify you in your capacity as attorney for George Gysegem, the intended Executor of the alleged Will of Joseph F.Gysegem,dated September 3,1952,that we object to the probating of said alleged Will ~or man~reasons which will be brought out at the time of the Hearing ll~y the Register of Wills;one of the reasons for objecting to the pro- posed Probate is to the appointment of George Gysegem as Executor, because he claims to be the co-holder of a Judgment Note against Joseph F.Gysegem,dated January 22,1936,calling for the principal sum of $15,500.00 with interest.The validity of this Note was formally attacked by a Petition to Open Judgment,the issues of fact of which Petition were ordered by the Court to be determined by a Jury Trial. As no such Trial was ever held,we are requesting the Prothonotary to list the same when he prepares the next Trial List. I am filing a Caveat and a copy of this letter to Russell Marino, Register of Wills for Washington County.I am enclosing an extra copy of this letter to you for transmittal to your client George Gysegem.

Due to various circumstances,including my being out of town last week,I was not able to have a personal interview with Mrs.Mabel Gysegem until June 16,1971.I am,pleased to inform you that ffie authorized me to send you this written authority for you to remain in the picture as Administrator of the Estate of Joseph Gysegem. I have received a carbon copy of the letter to you from Messrs. Simmons and Melenyzer and I must object to your withdrawal at this time because you are by now well acquainted with the many ramifications involved in the settlement 'of this estate.To bring in a new Administrator at this time would be a needless waste of time and duplication of fees.Considering the fact that Mrs.Gysegem has authorized me to send you this letter, there is no reason for you to be concerned about the conflict of interest as·a liability factor.(On a personal note,I am sure that should any matter arise which you believe to place you in a conflict of interest position,you will call the particular matter to the attention of all counsel involved, and,surely,out of courtesy to our fellow officers of the Bar, I feel sure that we would be able to resolve such matters.If I did not have such high regard for your personal integrity I would not have prevailed upon my client to authorize me to send this letter.)

Our position is still that Mr.Hormell should not be permitted to resign for his resignation would cause and result in unneces- sary delay and expense to the Estate of Joseph Gysegem.I would again point out that Mrs.Gysegem has waived any right to complain as to any conflict of interest which Mr.Hormell m~y have caused by reason of the formation of the law firm of Hor- mell,Tempest,Simmons,Bigi and Melenyzer. I maintain that it is Mr.Hormell's duty to contest the very suspicious claim of Marie Blasick in Westmoreland County,in- cluding the taking of Mrs.Blasick's deposition on the subject and manner of learning the consideration,if any there was, for her $7,000.00 note,and to learn the reason why Anna and George Gysegem subordinated their $15,500.00 note in favor of Marie's $7,000.00 note.Mrs.Mabel Gysegem informs me that the frauds of her husband and his family have left her so destitute that she is unable to finance the contesting of the Westmore- land County claim. -.-Judge P.V.Marino Page 2 December 9,1971 I believe it is encumbent upon George,in his capacity as personal representative of the Estate of his sister Anna to place upon the record the sources of the many bank accounts listed in Anna's Inventory totaling approximately $85,000.00 to show that these monies did not originate with Joseph. There has already been testimony that Joseph had $40,000.00 in his safety deposit box before he and his wife separated,and now Anna appears with $85,000.00 in her bank accounts.In Anna's testimony she claimed that she had never had any income, and,therefore had little money.These obvious contradictions should be explained to the satisfaction of the Court. I have prepared a suggested list of stipulations to be presented to the Common Pleas Court,Judge DiSalle,on December 13,1971. Copies of this stipulations are being sent with the copies of this letter to the other counsel.I am enclosing a copy of the proposed stipulations with this letter to you for your informa- tion.

Mr.Horme1l replied that Mr.Sparacino had agreed not to take a snap judgment without first informing Mr.Hormell of it,however, Mr.Sparacino took judgment on July 8,1971 by reason of Mr.Hormell's failure to act. On October 19,1971,Mr.Hormell informed Mr.Carson that-he was about to file an Answer to the Blasick Complaint; -2- -- the Answer was filed too late because of the aforesaid taking of Attorney John McIlvaine,who shares office space with Attorneys the Answer to the Blasick Complaint which he was filing on behalf Tempest &Simmons in Monongahela,sent Attorney Carson a copy of 1971 that On October 19,1971, Attorney Carson replied on October 22, the judgment on July 8,1971. of Mr.H0 rme 11 • judgment having been taken on July 8,1971.

'III I IIi\1 I I " On November 1,1971,a conference was held in the Chambers of Judge Marino,'with Attorneys Hormell,Sparacino, Melenyzer and Carson in attendance.At that time,Mr.Hormell was asking Judge Marino to allow him to resign as Administrator of the Estate of Joseph Gysegem because of conflicts of interest by reason of the formation of the law firm of Hormell,Tempest, Simmons,Bigi &Melenyzer.During the conference,Attorney Carson requested and secured a delay to allow him to confer with his client,Mabel A.Gysegem.At the same conference,Attorney Sparacino,agreed to take no further steps,pending the outcome of Mr.Carson's interview with Mrs.Gysegem. Immediately after the conference with Judge Marino, Attorneys Carson and Melenyzer agreed to explore the possibility of settling the entire matter.Due to difficulties each had in contacting their clients,Mabel A.Gysegem and George Gysegem, respectively,no concrete offer was made by Mr.Melenyzer until about November 19th.The offer was conveyed to Mrs.Gysegem on November 20th,who rejected it about November 29th.The possi- bility of a slightly higher offer was proposed by Mr.Melenyzer to Mr.Carson,who conveyed it to Mrs.Gysegem about Decemher 2nd.At that time she rejected any further discussion 1n the -3- negotiations had failed,and that he would inform Judge Marino Washington,D.C.,Mr.Carson informed Mr.Melenyzer that the II I I II I'I'IIII range being discussed,and,upon Mr.Melenyzer's return from III and the other counsel accordingly. I -CONCISE STATEMENT OF INTERVENOR'S POSITION On December 23,1970,the Intervenor (Mabel A.Gysegem) filed exceptions to the opinion of Judge McCune filed December 3, 1970,and at the same time,in order to preserve her rights,she By reason of the dilemma created by the two way orders filed the election in the Orphans'Court required by Judge McCune.1 iI II I of Judge McCune's opinion and order of December 3,1970,it was absolutely necessary for the Intervenor to act to prevent being caught on one horn of the dilemma to preserve her rights,in the event that the Orphans'Court should decide the case in her favor.: It would appear that Judge McCune in his rush to dispose of his backlog of judicial work before the effective date of his resig- looked the fact that the wording of his order,unless excepted nation, I- I and not with any intentional deception of his part,over- to,would leave the exceptant in the untenable situation of hav- 1936,but it was not filed until October 3,1952. citous wording of the opinion and accompanying order.

Thank you,Your Honor.If the Court please,this 3 ~z~~ ~VIZ Z\&III. ioI-elZ J:UlC~ is the time set for a hearing in re:the Estate of Joseph F.Gysegem deceased,at Number 1538 of 1968. To relate the history rather quickly,Joseph F. Gysegem died on the 29th of October,1968,and Letters of Adminis- tration were issued to his widow,Mabel A.Gysegem.But before any administration was actually undertaken,Mr.Melenyzer of this Bar contacted me and informed me that he had a will to probate. At my request,he furnished me with a copy of the will.I then informed him that acting as attorney for the widow,Mabel Gysegem, we would object to the probate of the will or at least to the appoint- ment of George Gysegem as the executor.We filed a caveat to aill:III l-ll:oII.III ll: l-ll::Jo U ..J~uii:...o that effect with the Register of Wills and the matter was then certified to the Court. Briefly,our basis for the objection is we feel that George Gysegem is so financially interested in the estate and in the affairs of Joseph F.Gysegem as a claimant himself,that he could not objectively administer the estate;bearing in mind his duty as fiduciary would be not only to the estate its elf,but it would also be to protect any creditors,of which Mabel Gysegem was one, since she had a judgment of some $16,000,which is based on a non-support action.And also,as the widow she would have the right to elect to take against the will.We haven't done that formallv 4 yet but of course,we have a year from the date of death to do that and we have every intention of doing that. I think it is going to be material during this hearin that a note which is dated January 22,1936,or at least it is alleged to have been dated that time,even though it wasn't entered in the you have any objection? of Contestant's Exhibit "Ali into evidence.Mr.Melenyzer,do of the Judgment Note dated January 22,1936,signed by Joseph remarks at this time,other than to formally move the admission We have no objection.
