Judge Bitterly Scogcs Men.

What became of the $500 that William Deppe had on his person when he WAS shot by Robert Ball on January ,, in his cabin at Fox Island?
 That was Y hat Judge Arthur F. Fra ter wanted 10 know, and insisted on knowing Thursday morning when L. .. Lemon. backed up by Allen Wier, Judge Harper and a number oi others whose names are prominently connected with the '.Great American Marble G., " peti- tioned that he be appointed administra- tor of the Deppe estate.
 After much roundabout explanation and hesitancy, it was admitted by sey- eral witnesses that the money, after part oi 1t had been expended t0 bury the dead man, had been taken by the officers of the Great American Marble Company and used to defray its expenses, on the ground that 1t was belieVed to be part of some funds belonging to that company.
 Early in the hearing the court pricked up a suspicious ear and presently waved aside the attorneys and took the wit nesses in hand himself. Ii took Judge Frazer about three minutes to trustrate the palpab!y cut and drie1 plans of the marble stock men. Under hls searching questions Lemon admitted tlat only ltN l1lDttlLS a-l llG lGCAL AA4 bAltl HI the concern. that he had held and re fused to turn oyer to ?. I. Evans, special ministrator. certain personal effects of the dead man, that the only ground upon which he could ask for the appointment was that a petition, framed mp in Seattle and sent east for the signature of the heirs, recommended hin.
 That is enough" said Judge Frater, with emphasis. This court wants to see this thing straiIhtened out right. There are to be no kinks in tie settle ment of this estate. The court will not appoint Mir Lemon. The court believes that a person entirely outside all these marble interests should have charge of the dead mans property. The court will appoint R. \. Wri-ht. He holds no marble stock, and Le is as square as a die
 F. r. Evans. who had oeen appointed special administrator. reported that the Deppe estate consisted c. a big block i the marble stock, some clouded land rights in Pennsylvania. and some oil stock. probably aggreGaJing several thou sand dollars. Then Le asked for such compensation as the ce.rt Mizht allow for his services.
 "Well Mir. Evans, ' sd Judge Frater. ''I j'au't see how I cau compensate you. II ta4- marble company Lad added d few more ciphers to its $70. .a9t t.0)3 capitalize ton might allow you million or so. =
