When the Card-F Foote case was ended, she asked Keefe to return the mort gage. This he declined 90 do on the ground that she owed him money for services per- formed at the time of the trial. She denied this claim and brought the petition to have the mortgage set aside. Major Keefe is in Florida, but the matter has been amicably arranged between counsel. It is understood Major Keefe will release the mortgage, re- ceiving therefor an amount for whatever ser vices performed.
