Value OF Molly
Quirks LOUe Is
Jury Problem

Whether there was value to Molly
Guirks love, devotion attention and
Fare of the late Patrick Kallaher and
3f there was value to these services
what amount is, due her was the prob
lem presented to a jury in United
John e. Mccall in his charge to the
twelve men. .
Miss Ouirk's suit was for s4oO, 900
alleged to be due her from the Bank
of Commerce and Trust company,
executor of the estate of the late Mr..
Kallaher. A former judgment of $780,
900 in favor Of the plaintiff was set
aside by the circuit court of appeals in
Cincinnati.
Capt. G. t. Fitzhugh, for the plaintiff,
argued that promises made verbally by
Kallaher to Miss Quirk in 1912 and 9TH
er times, that she should inherit the
bulk of his estate, revealed the pur-
pose of the man now dead and that
gifts made to her during her long term
ion were to be considered as gifts pure =
ly and not as payment for services rem
dered. 1t was shown in the evidence
that Kallaher gave Miss Quirk $4,000
in bonds in 1910. $4,000 in securities in
1912, besides other presents.
The contention Of the defense, rep
resented by ]. W. Canada, was that
the amounts given Miss Quirk fully re-
compensed her.
1t was left to the jury to decide
whether promises Of marriage alleged
to have been made, were sufficiently
proven. Judge Mccall stated that II
the engagement was proven, services
rendered and promises alleged Of Miss
Quirk to inherit the bulk of the estate
should not be considered.
The case went to the jury just before
