JUDGE HOLDS MORTGAGE VALID.
Trustee in Kaye Bankruptcy Estate
Claimed 1t Was Fraudulent -Argu-
ments Made in Other Gases.

The session of the United States
district court which opened in the mu-
nicipal court room Tuesday morn
ing, Judge Harland B. Howe of st.
Johnsbury presiding, was concluded
Wednesday morning.
Much of the time the first day was
taken up in hearing the evidence in
the case of Luther Kaye, who failed
recently. The trustee, Frank p. Well.
man, secured a restraining order from
the court to prevent the sale of the
stock on the ground that a mortgage
for $4,000 which was given by the
bankrupt to his brother, George. and
was recorded, was fraudulent. After
hearing the evidence and the argu-
ments, in which Attorneys F. E. Bar
Der and A. F. Schwenk appeared for
the trustee and Attorneys Chase &
Chase for the bankrupt, the court held
that the mortgage was valid and dis
solved the restraining order.
The William c. Davis bankruptcy
case, as Bellows Falls case, was heard
late yesterday. Attorney Hermon f.
Eddy, as trustee for Davis, sought to
have brought into the estate the real
estate and $1,000 which the bank
rupt received by will from Chauncey
Hunt. Attorney F. E. Barber appear
ed for the trustee and claimed that
the property mentioned was a vested
remainder. Attorney Warner r. Ora.
ham of Bellows Falls, who represented
the bankrupt, argued that the prop
erty was not q vested remainder of
the estate. No decision was given.
Arguments were made Wednesday
morning in the old case of George Tudor
against Kenneth G. Mudgett Attorney
F.. f. Barber appeared for Tudor and
C. S. Chase and w. R. Daley for Ken
meth & Midget. Briefs are to be
filed in the case.

State department officials have de
cided that Gen Villa will receive the
asylum accorded a political refugee
should he enter the United States. This
decision was sent Sunday to Gen. Funs.
ton by the war department for trans
mission to Villa or his representative.
State department agents had report
ed that alleged Intermediates had re-
quested Villa s immunity from arrest,
saying that if this was given they be-
lieved Villa would abandon the fight
against Carranza and retire to private
life in the United States. The state
department does not conceal its desire
to have Villa eliminated. Without him
the revolution in the north will Ger.
tainly fall, officials believe.

CHAPTER XII.

Justly to narrate all that befell me
O during my flight and journey to Lon
don would fill many pages, and, therefore,
as this book of mine is already OF a
