him the appreciation of the Republic

JUDGE DECIDES
AGAINST TOBIN
Attorneys Lloyd and Hegger-
ty Win Point Regarding
Fees in the Fair Estate
AMENDS FORMER ORDER
Court Says It Cannot Take
Cognizance of Something
That May Never Happen

Attorneys Lloyd and Heggerty have
won their fight against Attorney Jo-
seph. s. Tobin. legal representative Of
Mrs. Oelrichs and Mrs. Vanderbilt, by
prevailing upon Judge Cook to strike
out Of the order made on Tuesday.
April %, in the estate Of the late
Charles L. Fair the words ''or to be
rendered. referring to their services.
When the case was called yesterday
afternoon Attorney Heggerty made a
motion to strike out of the affidavit
submitted last Tuesday by Tobin any
reference to the notice given him and
Attorney Llyod regarding the contem-
plated application for the order and to
the alleged agreement between them
and the distributes Of the estate in re-
gard to their allowance of $3.50, 900. He
argued that the alleged agreement was
not relevant to the present issue and
was based upon hearsay. There was
nothing before the court to justify the
insertion Of the words 'or to be rem
dered" in the order. He asked that the
order to show cause be granted.
Tobin argued at length that the al
lowance of $4,000 was for all past,
present and future services. There was
a contract, he contended, and he read
a telegram from Mrs. Vanderbilt to
George A. Knight and knights reply
to bear out his assertion. AS their fees
had been paid the distributes were en-
titled to have the property relieved
from the lien.
Judge Cook asked Tobin II he claimed
that the decree Of distribution made
the counsel fees a lien on the entire es-
tate. and Tobin replied in the aff1rma-
tive.
Lloyd showed from documents that
everything had been accomplished In
accordance with the decree Of distribu-
ton and there was no lien on the estate
for counsel fees. He denied that there
was any agreement, as contended by
Tobin, saying it would be an absurdity
for an attorney to bind himself for any
future services. No attorney, he said.
would su1ly himself by attempting to
answer the allegations in the affidavit.
The Judge granted Heggerty's mo-
ton to strike out, and said that when
the order was asked on April rs he was
busy in a murder trial and had not
read the order carefully. Under the de-
cree there was no lien for future attor-
ney fees, but only for the amount
then due, and when that was paid the
lien ceased. If any other claim was
made 1t would be time enough to bring
I'D the alleged agreement. He could
not see how he could adtudicate upon
something that might never arise. He
then ordered that the order Of April rs
be amended by striking out the words
cor to be rendered" to which Tobin
excepted.

Going through the hospitals In our

a large proportion of the patients lying
ON those snow-white beds women

Why should this be the case? Sim
ply because they have neglected them

are certainly on the increase among
the women of this country-they creep

those patients in the hospital beds had
plenty of warning in that bearing

has to be paid by a dangerous operation.

JUDGE COFFEY TESTIFTES
REGARDING ATTORNEY FEES
Gives Estimate of the Value of Ser
vices Performed I'm Probate
Cases.

E1SllHidte VI tuc value Oh ser
vices Performed I'm Probate
Cases.
Probate Judge Coffey was a witness
yesterday in Judge Graham's court in
the suit brought by William C. Osborn
as assignee of Attorneys William
Loewy and Gustav Gutsch to recover
$1,000 from Henry Kunz and Clemens
Hohwiesner, as executors of the es-
tate of the late Charles Meinecke. The
sum involved is claimed by Loewy and
Gutsch as attorneys fees for filing the
will of Meinecke for probate. Before
the estate was settled they were dis
missed and other attorneys substi-
tuted.
Judge Coffey testified as an expert
on probate fees. He testified that in
cases like the one involved, when the
attorneys carried the probate of the
will through to a finality, the services
were worth from $3.50 to $1,000. He
could only recall one case In which
the attorney filing the petition had
been dismissed and another substi-
tuted, but he estimated the probable
value Of the services performed by the
lawyers seeking to collect their fee at
from $500 to $3.50.
The jury found In favor of the
plaintiff for $1,000, presumably going
on the theory that the attorneys were
substituted without right.
