DAUGHTER’S DEFENCE
NEWSPAPER’S ATTACK ON DEAD MAGNATE “AIDED THOUSANDS” CAPETOWN, Thursday. The Countess Labia, daughter of the late Sir Joseph B. Robinson, who inherits one-third of his fortune of £12,000,000, has replied to the article in the “Cape Times” denouncing her late father. The countess describes the article as a vicious and brutal attack upon the memory of her father, who, she says, was one of the ablest, most sensitive and most kind-hearted men who ever lived—in fact, “the biggest man South Africa ever produced.” The daughter claims that thousands of South Africans have cause to bless her father’s name for assisting them in direst need. But, she says, he hated ostentation and gave thousands of pounds away without public acknowledgment.
