The perennial fight over DR.. Conlands
guardianship of Miss Martha Barker came
Wednesday before the Probate court, this
year over the doctors readition of his account
and on the petition of some Ohio cousins of
Miss Barker, who regard themselves as her
heirs, for the doctors removal. At least this
is the way the fight appeared on the surface;
in reality it is made from here. The COM
plant was that too much other money was
being spent for the care of her, because she
continues to live in her house on Asylum
street of which the rent, which the testimony
showed to be worth from 5000 to $3.50
is given all except the parlor and one room
upstairs, for boarding the old lady and her
attendant Miss Belle Guild who gets 81 a day
for constant care of her day and night. This
makes the whole expense some $3.50 or 800
a year, besides clothing and incidentals.
The complanants also tried to figure
insurance, &C., in addition to the
rent as a part of the expenses, so as to make
hem over $1,000 forthe past year whereas tes- I
nony was introduced to show that she could {
ret a room and be boarded and cared for, all t
or $40 Il week. The claim in answer was that t
The was greatly attached to her old home and s
wanted to pass the rest of her days there. and
lso attached to Miss Guild and to the family .
$ old acquaintance and that it was the best y
nd pleasantest arrangement that could be y
made for her. 1t was shown that she was In
comparatively good health for her age though
ailing. Judge Tyler allowed the guardians
