ACCUSES TLR5H{Y
OF CROSS BREACH
or TRUST
ATTORNEY ALTLAND SCORES
TRUSTEE or MRS. HuOEs Gs.
TATE-AReUMENTs ALL IN AND
COURT RESERVES DECISION.

Timothy L. Tarsney did not remain
in the courtroom Saturday morning
10 hear the closing arguments in the
case brought by Marcel +. Hude 10 re-
move Mr.. Tarsney as trustee OF the
estate OF the plaintiffs mother. De
spite his ill-health Mr.. Tarsney has
been punctual in his attendance at the
hearing, but when Mr.. Altland arose
TO begin argument the corporation
counsel whispered with his attorney.
H. II. Emmons, and then hurriedly left
the courtroom.
That Mr.. Tarsney has been guilty Of
gross breach OF trust In his manage
meut Of the estate, was the DECLARE
ton of Mr. Altland several times.
Mr. Tarsney knew Mrs Vier for
years and was fully advised as TO her
desire regarding the property she
left" Mr. Altland said One cannot
read the will without realizing that 1t
vas her desire TO 80 leave her prop
erty that her son. Marcel. could not
secure possession of il until he was 90
years OF age"
Touching on the sale of the Trum-
bull-ave property, about which so
much has been said during the trial,
Atr Altland said the place was sold
for almost thousand dollars less than
Il was worth "in order that Mr.. Tars-
n5y could invest the money In bonds
OF the Flint & Saginaw railroad"
MIR. Tarsney may not be an expert
in real estate values" said the attor-
ney. but the evidence shows the prop
erty was sold at auction for S4625'
when his own expert valued 1t at
$4,000. and our expert said II was
worth $500"
Mr. Altand also paid considerable
attention IA the advances made by
the trustee 10 Hude, arguing that the
young man should not have been al
lowed 10 have more than the $500 per
year given him under the will, even II
the advances were made TO keep him
out OF trouble.
The total advances to help Hude
out of9rouble were not over 5000, and
yet he was given over 81, 500 above
his annuity" said the attorney. This
is another breach OF trust on the part
Of Mr.. Tarsney, and one of the very
things Mrs Vier tried 10 guard
against"
Arguments for the defense were
made by r. H. Emmons and w. G..
Fitzpatrick. and for the plaintiff by
Ormond F. Hunt.
The attorneys for the defense made
little reference to the facts in the case,
keeping TO the legal points involved.
and maintaining that Mr. Tarsney act
ed for the best interests OF the estate
In everything he did. and in accord
ance with his best judgment.
At the conclusion of the arguments
Judge Lockwood reserved his deci-
sion.
