IN BEHALF OF A VETERAN.
of Committee for Person
and Estate Asked For

AT the request of the commissioner of
pensions, an information has been filed in
the equity branch Of the Supreme Court Of
the District of Columbia by the United
States attorney for the District of Column
bia asking that a committee of the person
and estate of Francis Mann be appointed
Mann is the old pensoner who, as fully
reported in The Star several days ago, was
recently found by Examiner Roberts of the
pension burea" lodged in a part of a stable
When located, it is alleged, he was in a
destitute condition, and apparently without
proper food or attention, Notwithstanding
that an expenditure of his pension of $50
a month, judciously made, would supply
him with good food and a comfortable habi-
tation.
The court is informed that Examiner
Roberts caused Mann to be removed to
Providence Hospital, where he is now being
attended to and taken care of, and that
1t has become necessary. owing to the phys
ical and mental helplessness of Mann, that
a trustee or committee of his person or es-
tate be appointed, in order that his pension
may be received and properly applied to his
care, support and maintenance.
