THE JURY DISAGREED.

The people of New Florence and
vicinity have been in Montgom-
cry in full force this week on ac-
count of the investigation of the
state of mind of Mrs. Mary A..
Powell, widow of the late Thos.
j. Powell, a prominent citizen of
Montgomery county in his day.
1t appears that Mrs. Dora Nc
Daniel and Mrs. Fannie Davault,
daughters of Mrs. Powell, were of
the opinion that the old lady was
incapable of attending to the bus
mess Of her estate, and according
ly they aakeh that a guardian be
appointed and that the probate
court inquire into her sanity. A
jury was empaneled and a large
number of witnesses examined.
The investigation lasted through
Monday afternoon and Tuesday,
and Wednesday morning the jury
reported that they could not agree,
on the form of verdict handed
them by Judge Ellis, and the mat
ter therefore remains in statu quo.
Besides Mrs. Mcdaniel and Mrs.
Davault, three other daughters,
Mrs. Mohrstadt, Mrs. Shackleford
and Mrs. Gruber, were also of the
opinion that their mother should
have a guardian; while the follow
ing sons and one daughter were
opposed to the appointment of a
guardian: VIM, Jas. H., Jno. P,
Lee, Thos. j., and George Powell
and Mrs. Maggie Evans.
Ball & Ball represented Mrs.
Powell, and the firms of Hughes
& Nowlin and E. Rosenberger &
Son represented Mrs.. Davault and
Mrs. Mcdaniel.

THE PURE CASE.

Taylor Purl, who died in Jones'
burg in December, 1905, was the
owner of a private bank known
as "The Exchange Bank Of Jones'
burg" and by his last will and
testament, Mr.. Purl appointed w.
L. Gupton as executor. Mrs. Inez
Carr, daughter of Mr.. Purl, was
named as sole legatee under the
will. Acting under the will and
the directions OF the probate court,
Mr.. Gupton took charge of all OF
the assets of Taylor Purl;s estate,
including the Exchange Bank Of
Jonesburg. At the time OF Mr..
Purls death, S13 persons had de-
posits in his pank amounting to
S37, ,6S7.55, and he had issued un-
paid drafts to the amount of
$341.7S. Under the written direc-
ton of Mrs. Carr, Mr.. Gupton paid
these various depositors and the
unpaid drafts, and on his final
settlement in the prooate court
asked a commission of five per
cent on the sum which he had paid
the depositors. Mrs. Carr filed her
exceptions in the probate court to
the allowance of this commission
and gave as her reasons that the
probate court had no jurisdic-
tion to wind up the affairs of a
private bank; that the affairs OF
the private bank should have been
wound up through the banking
Ia, ~. ~ ~ tha 0<a nnA
ond, that by reason OF the execu-
tor paying these depositors with
out the demands having been le-
gally allowed by the probate court
he had forfeited his commissions
thereto. The exceptions We're sus-
tanned by the probate court, and
Mr.. Gupton appealed to the cir
cult court. Judge Barnett affirmed
the findings of the probate court
and also held that the executor
was not entitled to his commits
sions on this sum. Thereupon Mr.
Gupton appealed to the st. Louis
Court of Appeals.
On Tuesday of this week the
Court of Appeals handed down it,
decision, reversing and remandins
the findings of the circuit courl
and the prooate court, and hele
that Mr.. Gupton was entitled te
his commissions. The Appellate
Court held first that the probats
court was the proper tribunal tS
wind up the affairs of the Elk,
change Bank, and held further
that when Mrs. Carr signed tn,
agreement authorizing Mr.. Cup
ton to pay the various depositors
she estopped herself to deny hi
right to the commissions.
This decision is final and the es
tate will be wound up In accord
ance with the mandate OF the st
