william KeTmOde's Extraordinary Plea
for Support.
The hum bic petition of William Kermode
asking for support out of the $500 estate Of
his brother, Edward Kermode. is aD extra
ordinary document. William has been a
resident of San Francisco since 1868, and is
by profession a school teacher, holding a
Stale life diploma. The will of his brother
appointed trustees for him and his sister.
Mrs. Louise Carr, at CastIetown. Isle OF
Man, and the testator's son. Ralph E., with
permission to ask for support cut of the
estate if any are in need of 1t.
Mr.. KeTmode says that for q long time he
has been unable to work at his profession.
ana has been cheated and robbed out Of his
rights often, and as the inability 10 obtain
employment will continue he will in a short
time be actually IN want through being boy
cotted, as he terms it. Indeed. he says that
he Is now in want and IN Gebt. II through
the suit 10 break the Will the $1,000 left 10
him and sister through the fund Of the A.
q. L. W. is affected in any way.
He does not expect assistance from the
estate through the nephew when the latter
is y years old, and consequently II he does
not obtain help now he saws he never will,
and certainly ii was not the desire of his
brother that he should try and support him
self by labor that would be injurious or Kill
him pTematuTey. The nephew, il appears,
has been allowed $50 per month ia accord
ance with the VIII. and the uncle thinks
such sum sufficient during any period be-
fore p, because many young men and
ladies not having so much as that 10 prepare
for a good start in life previous to p
are compelled when or 10 years old to sup
port themselves, as was the case with the
petitioner
The uncle wakes sarcastic because the
slightest cause to break the will 10 exhibit
contempt for his benefact0T and apparently
to hold up the Judgment Of the court to rldI-
Cule aud defiance, which accepted the VIII
and writing and signature, which contempt
always las met with its deserved punish
ment. a. K. E. hermOde and guardian have
experienced through Judgment OF the d.
YOTCe court
The petitioner declares that 1t is hard to
say, notwithstanding the oral preten SiOns
OF his nephew, what he will do with tho
money, though really petitioner thinks
that causing both to spend that money eX-
traYagantlY IS equivalent 10 or worse than
tying it up so that petitioner could not use
it," Tie money left to petitioner by the
deceased from the s.. 0. u. W., Of " hich a
large portion has unayoidaOly been spent, is
sought by him TO invest, so that Ia old age
he may have a little support
This money, he says, IS not equivalent 10
a large 5000 house. which the nephew ex-
poets TO have when he arrives al the age OF
p years, aid the uncle wants ii that he may
not be "a burden Oh the State insane asy-
lum. charitable individuals or friends after a
long number of years Of service from which
other public servants when underpaid look
for pensions" Uncle William asks for a
monthly allowance OF $50 or SIS and ex-
penSes 10 AID from the Isle OF Man in the
interest ot his sister, a poor and unSup-
ToTted widow.
