and to-day before Judge u. S. Stanton
in the county courthouse at Montpelier
in the chancery suit of Amasa Fuller
rs. j. P. Neill of Warren over the fore
'losure of mortgage on chattel prop
'rty. From the early evidence it looked |
IS though the case were matter rela- |
i've to where Norman, a son of the de-
endant, shall live and whether an au- |
was given to Mrs. Neill or the |
on. II appears that some time ago the
was given as a special prize
or the large sale of garden seed. Mrs.
Seill claims the auto was given TO
Ter. while the son claims he did the
elling of the seed, and. therefore, is
ntitled to the automobile. The name
# Perley Bennett also slipped into the

Eft home. Later an effort was made to
ecure guardian for the boy, but it
allied and the boy has lived at the
'ullers' home ever since.
