TRUSTEE FILES AN ANSWER.

ton he now holds, and why his actions

him are above suspicion.
The heirs to the estate allege that
the trustee is Withholding from them
the sum of S2,114.70 without legal
right. In his reply to the charges made
against him, and in his explanation to
the court, Mr. Smith says that while
the property was under the control of
B. Cartwright, the former trustee, the

of certain lands at Makaka, in the dis
trict of Waianae. Since assuming con-
troll of the Holt interests, this has been
surrendered, and no such income is
now being paid in. The trustee has
paid the heirs during the last year the
sum of $1,000. During that time 81 400
was received. During the occupancy of
the trusteeship by Mr.. Cartwright the
two beneficiaries overdrew their ac-
counts to the amount of $4,000 1t is In
bad taste, says Mr.. Smith, for them
to criticise him because he looks after
their interests by holding them strict

them from going into bankruptcy by
not allowing them to overdraw their
accounts to too great an extent.
