When he took charge. of the estate there were bills of S3,- 900 or ~S4 900 against it. and he had no money with which to pay MT. Schultz said he had talked to Ber- nard Clark regarding the rent This
 question was 10 show whether or not Bernard Clark had ever, by neglect or wilfully, abandoned his rights as statuatory trustee.

After some contro- iversy Mir. Schultz replied to the ques- tion, that Mr. Clark had told him that he did not care to claim his de ceased wife's half of the livery bus Iincss and wanted it to go into the es- tate and be divided among their chill dren.
