The startling claim that another

should be filled by Mrs. Samuel Thorpe
in the Thorpe homestead in Madison
road was made today in the probate
court when the hearing was begun on
the petition of William T. Thorpe, a
son, to have a conservator appointed
in his eccentric mothers stead.
The son fears the father will Sc
cure his mothers waiver to her rights
in property valued at upwards of
$4,000, fine stretch of land on
Madison road, and he seeks to have a
conservator appointed to act for her,
alleging she is incompetent.
Mrs. Bartram. a neighbor of the
Thorpes. testified that old Mrs. Thorpe
has been poorly clad for years, wear
ing the same clothes winter and sum-
mer. That the woman has led a her.
mit-like existence for years and has
never seen trolley car according to
her own statement, was the testimony
of Mrs. Bartram.
