WHAT THE LAWYERS SAY.

The attorneys for the various contest
ants are not anxious to tell what share Of
the property they received. T. c. Jud-
kins, speaking for himself and w. NJ
Cannon, says: I'VE were very reasona BILE
in our fees, and 1 think no estate which
has been in litigation has been settled
more cheaply proportionately than this
far as we are concerned. Knight
& Heggerty got the biggest pay, which
amounted to more than $4,000, in my
opinion
Henry c. McPike. who handled the case
so successfully for Mrs. Goudy and Mrs.
Lally, thinks the lawyers, as far as his
firm is concerned. did not profit largely.
Charles Heggerty for Knight & Heg-
gerty said simply and with gravity: 1T
was good case. but We drew out of 1t
early. See McPike & Cannon; they stayed
with ii longer"
And so every one secured share of
the $4,000 left by the aged Joseph o Hare
