ADDITIONAL COUNSEL.
Two More Attorneys Employed on
Wapgaman Case.


Chief Justice Clabaugh, presiding in the
Bankruptcy Court today, authorized II.
Rozier Dulany, trustee of the bankruptcy
estate of the late Thomas e. Waggaman,
to employ additional counsel in the per-
sons of William F. Mattingly and Joseph
l. Darlington. The court directed that
each attorney be paid a retainer of $500
and compensation for their further services
to be determined by the court. The addi-
tional counsel are to cooperate with At
torneys Samuel Maddox and H. Prescott
Gately, who have heretofore represented
the trustee. BY a recent order of the
court Mr.. Dulany was directed to pay At
torney Maddox a fee of $500 for the
services rendered since the appointment of
the trustee to the present month.
The petition of Mr.. Dulany for authority
to employ additional counsel sets forth
that upon his qualification as trustee in
December, 1904, he employed Attorneys
Maddox and Gately who have since been
closely occupied in legal work necessary
In the administration of the estate of the
bankrupt This work, according to the
petition. was ar1uous and exacting be-
cause of the fact that the affairs of the
bankrupt were in a confused and compli-
Gated condition at the time of Waggaman' S
failure.
