ENNIS TOOK HALF
 FOR HIS SHARE
Got $500 for Girl Whose Skull Was Torn Open In
 Warner Bros. Factory
SUIT IN PROBATE COURT

Attorney George H. Ennis was on the stand this morning in the probate court where Attorney Ralph T. Beers counsel for Nellie Schuster has filed an application for adjudication in the matter of the application for a dis charge as guardian of the Schuster girl, who caught her hair in some shafting at Warner Bros, factory last February and fractured her skull, in which she now wears a silver plate.
 AS attorney Ennis settled the girls case for $500. He retained $250. He told the court that he had 50 cases of a similar nature since 1894 and in all where the fee was contingent he had charged 50 per cent, with one ex- ,ception.
 Attorney Ennis thought he had put in about 24 hours on the case and this
 matter, made about 40 hours that he
 had devoted to getting the settle
 ment. He believed he said that the charge was honest and fair as it was
 in keeping with the agreement that he had made with his client. In or
 der to secure the settlement he had
 been appointed guardian of the girl and after securing the money from the
 company he credited himself with $260
 for attorneys fee minus $7.5o for pro-
 bate fees. The remaining $250 he de- posted in a savings bank for the girl. As the reason for his appoint ment as guardian nao been 1ulnueo he filed his resignation as guardian with the probate court.
 The relatives engaged Attorney Beers to oppose the bill, for compensa- ton and he filed for adjudication. Attorney Ennis is represented by Attorneys John ]. Phelan and John M Banks
 The hearing will be resumed tomor- row morning when a number of the officials of the Warner Bros. Co.,, sew eral of the shopmates of the girl and the girls relatives will be called as witnesses.
 The girls relatives allege that Ennis overcharged her. They also assert that he should rave obtained a much larger sum in settlement.
