THE LAND IN SIGHT
In the fourth year, the Waikiki prop
erty having been sold, the rentals fell
off, and the expenses We're reduced so
as to leave a net income of S974.49, of
which Mr.. Love received $500 and in his
son in Japan 800 and the Indebtedness
of Love to Mr.. Magoon was reduced
to 1898 SO.
In the fifth year, land was appar-
emily in sight for MIR. Love. He had,
under the able administration of his
guardian. by selling his Waikiki property
for 5000. succeeded in reducing his OBJ
legations to his guardian to $os399 and
although his own allowance for the pre-
yious year had been but S545, while the
daughter who placed him in leading
strings had received in rent, taxes and
insurance nearly $500, yet he might hope
after a time to work out.
But his hopes received a rude shock,
for Mr.. Magoon, in despite of the writ
obtained an order of Court authorizing
him to expend $3.50 in rebuilding Mrs.
Harris house.
MR.. MACON SWIPES A RECORD.
Il have sometimes chafed at the rule
which is usually vigorously enforced by
your honor, prohibiting attorneys from
taking papers from the clerk s office but
this case affords a striking example of
the wisdom of the rule. Mr.. Loves let
ter to Mr.. Magoon protesting against
the expenditure of $3.50 for the rebuild
ing of Mrs. Harris home could not be
found during the trial of this case. The
clerk made diligent search for it, but
could not find 1t, or the receipt of any
attorney for it, or any memorandum
showing that it had been taken from the
files. Mr. Magoon testified that he had
not seen it and did not recollect it or
its contents. 1t was an important paper
for it was evidence showing that Mr..
Love did not agree TO but objected to the
expenditure of this $3.50, for the benefit
of Mrs. Hart. l was able to testify to
its contents for | had seen it and read
1t in the clerks office.
After the testimony was in Mr.. Ma
COON produced 1t here. How it came
into his possession was not explained,
for as he testified here. he had no recol-
some malignant astral, some disem-
bodied enemy of Mr. Love stole the liv
cry of a spirit district messenger to serve
Mr. Magoon in and whisked it away
from the clerks office to Mr.. Magoon's
office But suppose that Mr.. Magoon had
not CHANGED to find 1t and bring 1t here.
or | had not CHANGED to remember It's
contents from a casual inspection of 1t
in the clerks office-an important piece
},
been lost.
CIRCUMSTANCES OF THAT DEAL.
"All the circumstances of this $3.50 ex-
penditure are such as to leave a bad taste
in ones mouth. Mr.. Love had made a
deed of the fee of this place to his child
rem subject to his life estate, then he
gave Mrs. Hart all the rent of it except
$40 a month and all the time he
juggled into paying taxes and insurance
on it, and now he was called upon to
help rebuild it.
Mr. Magoon when asked to point out
of what conceivable benefit this transac-
ton could be to Mr. Love, replied that
unless the house was rebuilt 1t would
bring in no rent. and when his attention
was called to the fact that 1t would
bring in no rent in any event, because
there was an order of Court giving the
II.
Hart. he answered that Mr.. Love might
apply for a RECESSION of that order and
turn the Harris out of 1t.
But he knew very well that Mr.. Love
would not make such an application and
if he did make it the Court might not
grant it, even If Mr.. Magoon appeared
and argued as eloquently and ineffective
ly as he once before argued against his
own petition.
THE DEBT TO MACON INCREASES.

was a net income of s252 19 and an in
