Gillen, Esq. appearing with Mr.. Sdnborn
for the Bennett estate and Ddnf0rth Il
Gould for the respondent.
The examination of Mrs. CrOnkhite
did not seem to develop much in the way
of an appearance of embezzlement on
her part The complaint involved the
allegation of enbeZzlenent of about
81, 900 of money in the PenobscOt Say
ings Bank and the Bangor Trust Com
pany, aud certain notes. The business
was done by Danforth & Gould, and it
appears they drew the money from the
savings bank and trust company and
paid it over to Mr.. Bennett himself,
whereupon he deposited it in bank in
Skowhegan and gave checks to Mrs
Cronkhite upon which it was drawn
from the bank. The notes it appeared
in evidence were given to Mrs. Cronkhite
herself by her father, Peter Bennett.
