DENIAL Of FENN|NG
CLAIM is ARGUED
Counsel Present Arguments
on Action of Davis in With.
holding Fee.

Justice Frederick L. Siddons of the
District Supreme Court today heard
arguments Of counsel on the excep-
tions filed by Fl ederick A. Fenning.
District Commissioner. to the report
of Herbert l.. Davis, auditor of the
court, in the matter Of closing the
final account Of Mr.. Fennins as COM
mittee of Adolph Adler, an insane
World War veteran. Mr.. Fenning
himself was not present at the hear
ing.
Attorneys Frank J. Hogan and w.
W. MILAN appeared as counsel for
Mr.. Fenning. while Maj. Davis G. Ar
mold represented the Veterans Bureau
and filed an answer to the exceptions
of Mr.. Fenning, in which the Veter-
ans Bureau defends the stand taken
by the auditor in denying to Mr.. Fen
ming any commission for his services
for the ward during the past year
and also requires that he pay the
cost of the bond given by him as COM
mittee.
Mai. Arnold in his answer raises a
new point in the controversy. He
declares Mr. Fenning was not an
agent" of the bonding company In
which he placed his bond. but was
merely a soliciting attorney" who
was to solicit bonds on commission
of ESQ. without any allowance Tor
overhead. The Veterans Bureau CON
tends that Mr.. Fenning by allowing
his ward credit for the rebate given
him by the insurance company would
not violate the provisions of section
s54 of the code. Mr.. Fenning on the
witness stand at the hearing before
the auditor had stated that II he
should give back the commission he
would be violating this statute.
MILAN Opens Argument.
Attorney w. W. MILAN opened the
argument on behalf of Mr.. Fenning.
declaring that Auditor Davis had
gone far afield and without warrant
of law had suggested to the court
that Mr.. Fenning be penalized by the
loss of his commission and by the
requirement that he. pay the cost of
his surety bond out of his own funds.
This without showing, said the law
yer, any misfeasance, malfeasance or
fraud against Mr.. Fenning. Mr.. Mil
Ian then pointed out that the cita-
tions contained in the report of the
auditor by which the latter seeks
to "buttress this unusual finding do
not apply to the case of Mr.. Fenning
and proceeded to distinguish between
the case at bar and those mentioned
in support of the auditors finding.
II am glad to be in this court, your
honor said Mr.. MILAN, where we
will be measured by no other tape
than law and evidence; where we will
shut out the roar of congressional
committees: where we will shut out
the rattle of newspaper comment.
the snarl of scandal and the whine of
character assassins. ! am glad to be
in a court where the character of a
man. built on 30 years of service,
shall not lightly be blown away"
Uplplds Bond Commissions.
Mr. MILAN stressed the point that
the commission paid to Mr.. F'ennirg
by the bonding company at no time
was nor could be the property of the
trust estate, that Mr.. Fenning never
made profit out of his trust, as was
contemplated by the United States
Supreme Court in the Magruder VS..
