M0RRISSEY is APPOINTED
SPECIAL ADMINISTRATOR
OF THE ROMAN ESTATE
Kate Roman Was Married and Buried Within Three
Months. Having Left No Will, Ed Morrissey Gets
Half of Estate Unless Fl is Guilt Is Proven.

In the absence of any objection,
Judge Lynch yesterday granted the
petition of Edward Morrissey to be
appointed special administrator of
the late Kate Romans estate. The real
estate consists of the three brick
flats on North Idaho street, and a
few other parcels in other districts.
The personal property was estimat
ed, in the petition, to be less than
5000 in value.
Edward Morrissey is now autho-
rized by the court to enter upon, take
possession of, and administer the es
tate of his late wife, whom he mar
ried III January and at whose death
he presided in March,
This act of the court--done in :h"
absence of any objection-gives Ed
Morrlssey fun control OF ali WnlsKy
which may be stored on the Morris
sey premises. 1t gives him control
of the collection nl rcutals from the
real estate. 1t gives him Immediate
possession OF nearly So,oVV worm
of personal property.
Why was there no objection? Be
cause when petition for appoint
ment as special administrator is pre-
sented, no notice need be given to the
public or to interested parties. Nc
notice was given, ilt nee, nobody OBJ
jectcd. Hence the COAT granted thc
petition,
And il was all Tjgs,d up, finished
and filed yesterday forenoon = the
petition, the appointment, and the
bond of $1,000, signed by James T
Finlen, the friend Of gunmen ano

So now Edward Morrissey is il

if the authorities take no action, i
they never try to find out who in
flicted the bruises on Kate body

and a Mass Meeting.

The Pearse-Connolly club have all
their plans completed for their Eas
ter week celebration. The committee
on arrangements finished up their

entire program. Self-determination
for Ireland is in the air and every
liberty loving man and woman is in

it the greatest day for Ireland in the
history of Butte.
