Judge NJ. a. bingham in the matter or
the application to have the guardian
discharged In the estate OF John Redmond

was appointed over Mr. Redmond upon
the testimony of his son Robert. Con-
stable wilkins and Or A. + GrtnneH
who testified to Mr. Redmond mental
unsoundness. and the court appointed
Thomas Reeves guardian. Five weeks
later Mr.. Redmond made application to
have the guardian removed, claiming that
he had so far recovered that guardian
was unnecessary. The court intimated that
Mr. Redmond had better be placed under
proper medical treatment and a report
be submitted Such a course seemed &C
ceptable to both Mr.. Redmond and his
attorneys but nothing was done.
In his report Judge Bingham sets forth
that II was very improbable, if not i'm
possible. that Mr. Redmond had recover
cd in five weeks. He also said that the
disease as it appeared is what Is called
partial insanity or monomania, in this
case the claim being that Mr.. Redmond
is mentally unbalanced with respect to
his feelings toward his family. The dis
