follows: Mr.. Barrett was of weak
and enfeebled mind; that the deeds
executed were not due to any undue
Influence; that the mind and mem
nsy Of Mr.. Barrett was sufficiently
9ound to enable him to know and
understand the business he was
Eransacting; and that he was able

been taken to the city Hospital she was

From the story told by boy on shore
