SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-The trial OF
the case of Dominick Tarpey agaln'
Donnelly, Dunno & Co., to recover $22,-
600 on two promissory notes, with inter
est from 1879, began today. The firm
alleges that, at the time of the execution
of the notes, Michael F. Tarpey, Domi-
nick's brother, fearing that he would be
sued by DR.. Zeile, with whom he was in
partnership, induced the late Andrew }.
Donnelly, merely as matter OF accom-
mediation, to sign two promissory notes
for $11 900 each, payable to Tarpey't
mother and sister. The firm claims thai
not only do the notes represent no CON
sideration, but that, before Donnelly'f
death, Tarpey signed a document, re-
leasing the firm from all indebtedness.
