WIDOW’S OFFER ACCEPTED By Cable. —Press Association.—Copyright LONDON, Saturday. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Winston Churchill, has written to Lady Houston, widow of the late Sir Robert Houston, the shipping magnate, accepting her offer to pay her share of the death duties on her husband’s estate. Mr. Churchill said he assumed that the co-executor of the estate; Mr. Appleton, would also pay his -share of the duties. Otherwise the right would be reserved to continue the legal proceedings.
