hered preparing some house plans in 1892 for
Mrs. Butler. TheIplans were offered. Mr..
Ripley objected, but after small sized
sqnabble withdrew his objection. These plans
were for a $4,000 house that Mrs. Butler in
tended building but afterward changed her
plans and did not build. Had read the speci-
fications of one house he built for the Judge
early in 1850. after that he had them so
thoroughly committed TO memory that IL was
almost unnecessary for the witness to carry
them in his pocket. in the last years of his
life Judge Aylsworth did not show the same
ability in the examination of plans as he once
did, and in 1890 appeared childish.
