THE PROFITS TO BE DIVIDED.
The Contest Over the McCauley
Estate Decided by Judge Hagner.

Judge Hagner has decided the contest
over the McCauley estate brought ON by
the widow of thelate Theodore McCauley
who died about a year ago naming his
brother, Henry McCauley, as executor of
his estate Mrs. McCauley asked the court
for an accounting and the removal of the
executor.
One matter in dispute was the sale by
the deceased of store to William ii.
Speiser This the court held was valid
and not to be disturbed by the appoint
ment of a receiver. 1t was decreed, how
ever. that the profits OF the first year
after the sale to Speiser should be ascer.
tained and a division made. The court
refused to remove Mr.. McCauIey, holding
that he had done more toward increasing
the assets OF the estate than the law re-
uuired him to do.

selves not to eat or drink till they had
murdered him. But Pauls nephew in
some way learned of the plot and re-
vealed it to the commander

o'clock that same evening. bearing a
letter to Gov. Felix. recountinp the
circumstances.
III. Trial Before Felix-Within five
days the high priest Ananias. accom-
panied by deputation from the San
hedrim, and by a professional advocate,
Iertulius, arrived in Cesarea to present
their charges against Paul.
The charges brought against Paul
were: l. Treason against Rome. "a
mover of sedition among all the Jews
throughout the world" referring To the
mobs of the Jews against him in almost
every city, as if he were to blame for
them. 2 Heresy against the Jewish
religion, ringleader of the sect of
the Nazarenes. Ringleader. the leader
OF ring, or riotous body. 3. SacriIere
IN profanlng the temple, as charged bv
the Jews of Asia.
~. Paul's Reply to the Charges.-vs.
1921. The introduction, verse 10. was
courteous, but not dattering.
The answer to the charge of treason
was a simple denial, sustained bv a
plain statement of facts and the utter
absence of any witnesses or proof.
In answer to the second charge of
heresy he acknowledged the fact, but
denied that it was heresy.
Paul brought forward three reasons
why ms way of worship was not sect

shlped the same God of my (our) ia
theirs whom his accusers worsbiped. He
