LONDON, 17th January.
Miss Aurjel Lee, the actress, who lias just returned from America, commenting on the announcement that she was the sole beneficiary under Sir Sefton Brancker’s estate, said; “So far from being a bequest, Sir Sefton actually loft, me his debts on overdraft anil an enormous legacy duty. The last thing I need is anybody’s money, but I am perfectly prepared to, take on all the obligations of every debt he left.” She explained that before leaving on a flight in 1927 Sir Sefton Branckev thought lie would like to protect his papers, hooks, and notes, leaving them with her. It was all done in a groat hurry and the matter of finance must lntve'slipped in by accident. The papers included diaries of the war, a record of aviation since 1910, and logs of big flights. “They will be a great responsibility and call for discreet handling,” added Miss Lee.
