FLOODS COURT WITH
SOME WEIRD PAPERS
Charles Roe Petitions, but None
Can Make Head or Tail
of Them.

The circuit court was flooded vester-
day with the weirdest set Of documents
That ever fell to the lot of Judge to
pass upon. They were filed by Charles
Robert Roe in probate, regarding an
lhsoINent estate of which he is admin
IStrator. His accounts were found to
De 50 garbled that the master appoint,
ed to examine them, John Marcal!ino.
| turned IN an emphatic condemnation of
them. The papers yesterday were an
lnky flow prepared by Roe himself to
prove that there was not one single
/ penny unaccounted for in the accounts
There Is only one thing the matter
with the petitions (seven of Them count
| them) and that is that there is no one
H. the whole court that can make head
or tail out of them. If he hadn't ex-
! planned their nature the clerk would
not have been able to indorse them
| properly.
The last petition is the shortest, aud
| elucidates the point that l.. NJ Straus
! Is not connected with this case The
Wad Of paper containing this infOrma-
! ton had to be stamped and indOrsed
and Is now taking up room III the court
records. 1t is entirely useless. Nobody
says Straus is connected with the case,
not even Straus himself
I Straus did have connecticut few
days ago when he was acting as Roe s
, lawyer. At that time Marcallino an
nounced his intention of finding an I'M
favorable report. Roe claimed he could
explain it all and Straus induced the
master TO devote an evening to an ex-
animation of the administrator. When
Roe appeared before him he refused to
/ talk and said he would explain in
court.
He then refused to explain to his
own lawyer. and demanded that he let
him alone, put him on the stand and
ask him questions Straus warned him
not to write any letters on the matter
aud was told to mind his own business
Roe said he knew the law. and his at
torney insinuated that probate law was
delicate thing and that the best at
torneys sometimes slipped up on it.
''Thev were FOOLS said Roe. cit s
easy
In court. after the Judge had passed
on his papers, Roe demanded in wrath
why the ruling had been made as it
was
Common law and other authorities
Mr. Roe said the court.
Straus went to court yesterday in
tending to withdraw from the case, and
found that he had been anticipated by
his wild client.
Personal Explanation.
In connection with the above case
and as furnishing a fair sample of Mr.
Roe's ability to write in legal terms
the following communication, delivered
by him in person, Is given:
