pointed guardian in her stead under a

turn of her management of the estate,
consisting of a lot and two houses in

E. J. Hall, district attorney of Trim
ity county. testified that the boy was
in custody on a charge of arson. He
said he intended taking Baby John"
back to Weaverville, and that Mrs.
Martin would be brought here Friday.
A J. Todd said he was willing to act
as guardian, and the boy also took the
stand and testified that he was willing
to have Todd appointed his guardian
in place of his mother. Mrs. Martin S
letters of guardianship were thereupon
temporarily suspended, she being given
10 days TO appear in court and show
cause why they should not be revoked

hands with his new guardian and went
away with Hall.
