the records, daily talks with his brotE- CT, when at his home, interviews, with the attorneys, the court proceedings, and the interviews which led to the final settlement. He stated that at one time he asked his brother if S5,000 was not a reasonable sum to charge for his services, and his brother agreed that it was.
 George Gurley corroborated his fla ther's statement in regard to his un- cle's agreement to pay $5,000. and went over much the same ground as had Albert E. Gurley.
 For the Defense.
 For the defense, Elmer A. Gore and his wife, who was Emma Gurley, daughter of the defendant, the defend- ant himself, and Judge James A. Shea were called. The testimony of MT. and Mrs. Gore was directed chiefly to- al leged statements by the plaintiff that he never expected to take a cent for himself out of the money recovered, but that he was doing what he did be- cause he felt it was his fathers wish, and he was willing to spend money to help his brother geA the money. Both witnesses admitted that when this thapked MT. Gurley or showed any outward appreciation of his efforts. Wished Brother Had Kept Out.
 The defendant testified that he never agreed with his brother as to compen- sation, did not want him in it, and wished he had kept out of the matter. In reply to a question by Attorney Searls, You got the money, didn't your" he answered quickly, q haven't seen it yet"
 Mrs. Gore was recalled and testified that Albert E. Gurley told her father and mother the day after the hearing in the probate court he would give them 24 hours to get out of the house. This statement MT. Gurley denied, saying his wife was sick, and he re- quested them to go away for time> They went to Westerly, he going with them, and on their return he met them in Norwich, took the mto Willimantic and to a house which he and his son had made ready for them, where they now reside.

tiff The facts as they appeared are that Andrew J. Gurley went, with his brother Albert, about a year ago, to se5 about having his will drawn up by At torney Harvey. At the interview which resulted it was discovered that prac- tically all his property was in the hands of Judge Storrs, and efforts were then made to get it back into his pos session.
 Andrew Gurley was in poor health. and good deal of the interviewing of the attorneys was done by his brother. As result of the condition of Andrew Gurley. an application for conserya- tor was made, and George Gurley, the son of Albert, was appointed.
 Was Resident of Windhan. Previous to this time. and less than six months from the time when An !. drew Gurley went to live in Mansfield he came or was brought down to his brother Albert's home, so that he was a resident of -WindhaIn, and the matter went through this probate court. Judge Storrs is the judge of probate in Mansfield, and it was intimated by the defense that the change of residence was made to keep the matter out of his jurisdiction, as he was an interested party.
 The upshot of the matter was that the sum of SS0,o00 or so was obtained and turned over to the conservator. Then Albert E. Gurley put in a bill for $5.O00 for his services in collecting the money, which was not allowed. In the probate court MT. Guriey conduct ed his own case and the proceeding occasioned considerable comment at the time.
 The contention of the plaintiff in the present case is that he was acting for his brother, at his request, and was promised compensation for his ser vices, while the defense sought to prove that he did no great amount of work, had said he would take no pay for it, and that the attorneys who had been engaged were the parties who collected the money for the conser- vator. An unusual feature in the case was the introduction of a statement by Attorney s. B. Harvey, who con- ducted the defense, agreed to by the ether side, of the events in which he had taken part prior to this suit. The paper was to take the place of oral testimony by an attorney in the case. MT. Harvey was cross examined by Att torney Searls, the same as~if he had testified, and admitted that he had had many controversies with Albert E. Gurley in the course of recovering the money, and few with Andrew.
 Plaintiffs Side.
 The only witnesses for the plaintiff were himself and his son George. MT. Gurley told of learning from his broth CT that his money was tied up in Judge Storrs' hands, and that he offered TO aid him in recovering it. The offer was gratefully received. He then detailed what he did toward the ob- ject in view, including a trip to Hart ford, several to Spring Hill to search
