The Newtown bee., 1908-08-14


 l took the coupons off or he did. Think l put all the coupons in the Newtown bank. Don't know as he kept any ac. count of my account. The dividends and the Express stocks came to me. l told MT Northrop and MT Morris that 1 did not think l needed any counsel. l did not employ MT Morris or do not deem it necessary now. He does not represent me. Keep the securities in trunk at my house. Do not realize how much property 1 have. Am trou- bled with noises; come in the room and around the bed. When the noises strike the spring bed it sounds like a bell. Don't know as it troubles me any more now than it did at the Stillson house. Can hear the talking in the telephone wires; hear it some nights and days. Don't know as would have any objec- rion to have MT Beecher appoint some such man as MT Nettleton or Mir Peck or any honest man.
 Cross: Would impure around in case the books were lost and find out where the money was. If the bank books burned up would have to employ a de- tective to look them up. Might go down to Bridgeport myself. A year since was at any of the banks in Bridgeport. Did not go to all the banks when l was there. That paper was all the receipt l had. Mir Henderson here produced a diary or memorandum book which MT Morris offered as consistent record of income. They seem to be anxious to know what 1 have. Some things in town people are anxious about; it may be the taxes. First heard the noises at the Glover house, June 13, 1892. Don't know what conservator is. If should tell you that a conservator has to make a rec ord of all securities and make report from time to time and charge for it what would,you say? Don't know.
 Property has been safe enough so far. Would not object to a charge of SIS or S25 year for any one ito take care of the property.
 C. F. Beardsley: Known MT Hender- son a great many years. MT Hender- son said to Mir Morris he was not going to have counsel on the day of the hear ing. said to David, what are they trying to do, get $25 out of you. He said no and held up five fingers. Do not think him capable of taking care of his property. He was considerably exercised about year ago because he did not have any place to go. He works for me and keeps his own time. He is honest and all right, but not capable of doing business. Have heard him frequently complain of the strange noises.
 
 H. H. Peck: Have known MT Hen derson since l was a boy. Has talked about the strange noises, especially since the telephone was put in. Should say he was not capable of taking care of an great amount of property. Never knew of him wasting any money. Never discussed business with him.
 Anna E. Eames: Mir Henderson is my half brother. Has another sister. Had this petition brought to protect his interests. Have seen him about once year. Saw him the other day after the hearing and said he had not employed counsel. Has complained of the hearing of strange noises. Saw Mrs Northrop after her husbands death md she said Mir Northrop had probab- y given David credit for the income. Mrs Northrop did not say positively that there was an account.
 Mrs M. T. Cartwright: Have known David four or five years. Was at 5tillson's when he was there. David of the noises, and some imes called out the windows for the people to stop. Should say that he was lot capable of transacting business.
 Mrs Julia F. Works: Have not seen David in about four years. Do not 1 hink he is capable of transacting busi- less. Never had any business dealings with him, and only know through what ,thers have fold me
