They claim that Mr.. Hall sold the stock

amount Of dividends as if he were stin
acting as her agent and attorney. They
now demand a decree against him for the
value of the stock.
Han admits the debt and does not deny
the allegations, but claims that Mrs. Hill
knew what he was doing and consented
thereto. To his answer is appended en-
exhibit showing that in his viii Mr.. Hall
has provided that out of his life insur-
ance the money should be paid.
The money 1T Is shown, was used in
