he had for months every chance to
investigate and examine these invest
ments. Allen had some time pre-
viously spoken generally of the in
vestments as being good, but not of
any one in particular. There were a
number of Others TO select from; this
one was paying high rate of interest,
viz: ten (l0) per cent. per annum, and
that may have been what induced
Banning to select it. He was not
bound to take it; he had the option of
taking any other or even the coin.
The trustee did not, under the circum-
stances, put himself in the position of
a guarantor. Mr.. Banning was act
ing with his eyes open and upon his
own judgment. 1t seems to me that
at the time Banning selected these Sc
curities the relation of trustee and be-
neficiary had changed materially.
The trustee had offered to do all that
could be required of him, viz: in paw
ing the beneficiary his half of the
estate in coin. This offer was not
accepted; he, Banning, preferred Sc
curities and selected them himself.
