AGAINST coNsERvAToR
Gursey is Capable of Managing His Own Affairs-Accountine Demanded.

A decision was reached Wednesday by Judge of Probate James A. Shea in the Andrew J. Gurley case. A peti- fion was brought by Mrs. Emma T. Gore of Worcester who wished the court to find whether her father An drew J. Gurley was capable of man aging his own affairs. Mrs. Gore did not ask for the removal of the conser- vator who had been placed over her father.
 Judge Shea, however. not only found the father capable of managing his own affairs. inasmuch as he and his wife were living within a sum con sderably less than the salary paid the eonservator, but ordered the conser- Tator, George H. Gurley, to file an ac- counting of the estate and turn over the. property. Judge Shea, further, by his decision made it impossible for anyone but a granGchild, or guardian Of said STandchild, to take an appeal from this decision.
