The Hearing.

The auditors hearing was originally
set for Tuesday, but owing to other
engagements of counsel it was post
poned until Wednesday. The court
was opened about IL O'Clock Wednes-
day morning. James X. Batchelder
of Arlington and Waterman & Mar
tin appeared as counsel for the plain
tiffs: for the defendant, c. G.. Fits,
Haskins & Schwenk, Bacon & Hooker,
and Elisha May of st. Johnsbury. At
the opening of the hearing each side
made brief statement Of its claims,
in substance given above. Francis
Goodhue ir., was then put upon eX-
animation by his attorney, Mr.. Batch
elder. The evidence first introduced
related mainly to certain shares of
the Pullman Palace Car company's
stock. II appeared that Mrs. Goodhue
had owned 102 shares of this stock,
upon which, at the reorganization of
the company, there had been a stock
dividend of 80 per cent, giving her an
additional 81 shares. Ii was the dis
position of these shares by the defend
ant which was in question. 1t APP
peared that they had been disposed of
in three installments. The defend
ants counsel conceded that this had
been done, and that Mrs. Goodhue's
signature upon the transfer had been
written by Thompson. The proceeds
from the several sales We're in the
form of Duluth city bond of the value
of S2105.11. and a check for $2309.14,
These sales were made through Gay
& Company. Boston brokers. From
Esterbrook & Co. of Boston two checks
were received. one for $1675, payable
to Charles F. Thompson, and one for
$1315.1S. 1t appeared later on that
the main question over these transac
Ptions was as to the disposition of the
Duluth bond.

He sees right OF that 20 DeNoe is rs much rs
30 of anything else. He likes thar: il comes
quick; il is n surprise; and he tells of il. The

Next year he don't paint il. This comes slow
it is "A surprise; but he has got used to it, Still
