suit against DR.. Thomas F. Brennan

Sloss' courtroom TO ST. Josephs $ nome
where the plaintiff was examined In

Mann, the stenographer. the attor-
news and the defendant were present.
rather Grey, who had just arisen
from his sick bed. underwent the
DAVIS ordeal with an energy that be-
lied his years.
The examination was a test OF
memory. He said that he was 92
years old and was made priest our
ing the last French revolution. He
was nearly blind and unable to read,
he said. or he would have been at
tending to his duties at st. Patrick $
Church, the building OF which had
been under his direction.
To the questions of his attorney. NJ.
C. Hassett, the venerable plaintiff told
of the circumstances OF the with
drawal OF his funds from the Hiber-
MIA Bank by Brennan. He said Bren-
nan had advised him to take the
money out, as the bank was tattling
to the Bishop" and told him that the
Crocker- Woolworth Bank was safe
place to put 1t. He insisted that
Brennan merely acted as his agent in
the transfer.
Asked on discrimination as to
some of the matters which had slip
ped his memory. Father Grey admit
ted his forgetfulness and said shrewd-
Iy that he only wanted to get his
money and hoped the Judge could get
it for him, but he was afraid he
could not break into their iron box"
He remembered, he said, the first time
he had met Brennan. He visited him
on a sick call and found him without
money. He gave him coin and sent
him into the country to recover.
