He was questioned In detail regard

| cooperation and harmony, and IN"
careful study Of records that wa
made before the report was written.
Says Conditions are Better.
Mr.. ODonoghue testified that since
that report conditions complained OF
have improved. He said that 1t would
| be impossible for him to state whether
these conditions do exist now, because
he has not made the study now as
was done at that time.
Mr.. Gilbert questioned him whether
at the meeting of that committee In
drafting that report list was sub
mitted Of fees allowed to guardians
ad Item who were sons of judges.
He thought that such a statement
might have been prepared. but ne
hasn't 1t now and doesn't know where
it is.
Replying to a question by Mr.. Gill
bert, he said that a list was prepared
Of sons of judges, secretaries or
former secretaries who had been given
appointments and that the record had
been searched in preparing this list.
Mr.. O'Donoghue then discussed in
detail with the committee the case in
which Justice Mccoy had appointed
Mr.. Fenning as trustee over his (Mr.
O'DonOghue's) vigorous protest. In
reply to questions he said that he did
not know who suggested Mr.. Fenning
for appointment as receiver and did
not know of any reason except the
friendship between Justice Mccoy and
Mr.. Fenning.
Mr.. O'Donoghue was asked regard
| ing any remark made by Justice Me
| Coy on the day the decree was signed
settling the case and preventing Mr..
Fenning from serving as receiver.
He said that Justice Mccoy made the
remark: "It's too bad Fenning isn't
| getting something out of this He
| said he didn't know whether the jus
| tice was joking. Mr.. Gilbert insisted
whether the justice was playful or
| not, he did say it, didn't he?" In
reply to further questioning, Mr.
O'Donoghue said, II won't attempt to
say what was in Judge McCoy's
mind"
In reply to a number of other ques-
tions. Mr.. O'Donoghue answered that
| he would like to be excused and would
! rather not pass judgment on the ac-

! he was not interested.
Suggests Conferences.
, Asked by Mr.. Gilbert for suggeS-

| ODonoghue said he thought this

Questioned regarding proposed
remedial legislation, Mr.. O'DonOghue
said he was opposed to setting up a

would he more uniform rule and de
cisi0n and better justice if the courts
are not multiplied. He said that the

worked and was promised that pend

Quizzed On Fenning.

Qulzzcu VII
Mr.. Gilbert questioned Justice Nc
Coy regarding his friendship with Mr..
Fenning, that he had sworn him in as
District Commissioner. and that they
spent the Summer together in Maine.
He said that Justice Mccoy had
brought down severe criticism upon
himself in the ship building case in
which $1,400,000 in assets was lying
In the bank, and in which he appoint.
ed Mr.. Fenning receiver when coun-
sci was opposed. He asked What
judicial reason as a fair judge did you
have for appointing Mr.. Fenning in
this very lucrative case?"
Justice Mccoy made a statement in
which he explained that he had tied
the LIQUID assets up in banks where
thew could not be withdrawn except
by signatures of both parties to the
litigation, and that the only duty be-
fore the trustee was to make a few
collections.
Mr.. Gilbert brought out that the
Arm of Douglas, Obear & Douglas
represented the plaintiffs, and Daniel
w. O'Donoghue represented some of
the defendants. Neither of these at
torneys had asked for Mr.. Jennings s
appointment, and he said they had
to settle the case to prevent you from
appointing your friend Fenning to
this very lucrative position.
Defends Appointment.
Justice Mccoy stated that he had
appointed Mr.. Fenning in this case
because there We're debts to be col
lected and he appointed him under a
$4,000 bond adequate to protect
every body because he believed him
honest and able to carry out the
trust. NWhen Mr.. Blanton emphasized
the objection made by Daniel w.

Asked Regarding Practice.


Mr.. Houston asked Justice Mccoy
regarding the account filed by Mr..
Fenning in the case of Roley Lee.
He said that apparently it was a
printed form with Mr.. Jennings name
printed. Justice Mccoy said that the
court had printed forms, but he could
not identify that particular one. Mr..
Houston asked If it is customary for
the committee and trustee to include
in their accounts a prayer for allow
ance of fee as Mr.. Fenning did for
that $213.04 in the Roley Lee case.
He also questioned whether 1t is the
custom of the court to make out the
order Immediately and Justice Mccoy
said that 1t Is.
Does your order include allow
ance Of fee?" Mr.. Houston asked.
Mine does" Justice Mccoy said.
It was again emphasized that the
auditor is required to examine the
account and see If 1t is correct. Mr..
Houston asked, I'm whom by
statute Is the power vested to fix
fees?" Justice Mccoy answered, "In

Justice Mccoy was asked by Mr..
Gilbert to produce. II possible, docu-
mentary evidence of procedure of the
court IN nXlnS tne IeeS ana amounts

case than those of Frederick A.

Mr.. Blanton said, Frederick A.
Fenning presumed on the great
friendship you have shown. You
signed the order prepared by him
without careful scrutiny. Do you
know each time you sign an order
for Frederick A. Fenning directing
the auditor to pay him a percentage
and the amount figured out what it
represents?"
Justice Mccoy replied, II have"
Mr.. Blanton asked Justice Mccoy

Office of the lunacy clerk show that

Except for special cause shown, no
person other than a member of the
bar of this court or the general
guardian of an infant shall be ap.
pointed guardian ad Item. The court,
however, may request information in
aid of the selection and appointment
of such guardian"
At this point the hearing recessed for
a brief luncheon period. and when the
hearing was resumed, Justice Mccoy
put in a statement explaining the re.
vision Of section 81 of the Code, which
Mr.. Gilbert had quoted during the
morning session with reference to ap:
pointment to court positions of rela-
tives Of the Judge.
Mr.. Gilbert answered that as one
Of the sections which he had quoted
Is not now in the code, that he sup
poses 1t has been repealed, but that
in his opinion one is just as prohibi-
tive as the other.
Mr.. Gilbert questioned Justice Nc
Coy regarding the procedure in set.
tling accounts of f1duciaries. 1t was
explained that they are presented to
the clerk and then to the auditor.
Justice Mccoy explained that there
are two kinds of accounts. One re.
quires all f1duciaries to report assets
in April. This goes to the auditor.
1t is not complete account and need
not cover any disbursements. 1t is
called for to see If the bond is suf!1-
cient to cover all assets. The fiduciary
is required to report when the assets
are in excess Of the bond, and he is
then required to increase the bond.
The other kind of account requires
d full statement of the estate by the
Evening star., 1926-05-02

Justice Mccoy answered. "Quite
likely-I imagine so." .,1
Then Mr.. Blanton continued, You
looked it over and signed it-that s
vour practice, isn't it,"
Justice Mccoy answered 1t Is the
practice with other attorneys.
Demands He See Records.
When Mr.. Gilbert claimed that the
records show that Justice Mccoy hao
allowed attorneys fees in addition 10
commissions as guardian TO MT.
Fenning, Justice Mccoy declined 10
take his word that this was a 1act
and demanded that the records be
produced.
Mr.. Blanton led Justice Mccoy into
a discussion that he had allowed. ac-
cording to official records. Mr.. Fen
ming to collect in excess OF 10 per
cent commission. Justice mccoy
stated that these additional amounts
were in lieu of fees as attorney. lie
gave as his opinion that they were
not allowed both attorney fees ana
committee fees, but in allowing COM
mittee fees, If it was shown that he
had also acted as attorney. the addi-
tional service might be taken into con-
sideration in fixing the committee zee.
"If that is what You mean, tnen !
suppose / did allow attorney fees"
said Justice Mccoy. He said that IN
following this practice he was follow
ing a court in Tennessee.
Mr.. Gilbert insisted "M-. FennirHe
got both guardian and attorney fees"
It was shown that in some eases he
received from 10 per cent to as high
at "a per cent. "lf the 10 per cent
statute does not apply, why was his
fee fixed at that amount in SO many
cases?" Mr.. Gilbert asked. Justice
Mccoy quoted a decision of the Su.
preme Court in the case of Barney VS..
Sander ct al, and he also quoted for
the record the decision IN the Ma
gruder VS.. Drury case, the same case
as cited previously on the point that

asked. meeting her eyes with the
old sweet pleading.
She said, sadly, You're right,
dear. And when you're away

"Well, let's not tonight Shall we
go somewhere and dance? How
about Gianduja's?"
The suggestion pleased Sonia She
ran to change into the silver gown.
1t made her eyes inviting and mys-
FERROUS. She applied rouge with a
skillful hand. and as she dressed
her spirits rose. Why should she
feel low? Had she not won for a
lover the man she had sighed to
meet, months ago?
She danced in his arms, light as
a leaping flame. She smiled at him
from lowered. seductive lids.
II do love you" she whispered,
exultant with the instant answer
ing blaze her words aroused.
She told herself she was years
older and wiser than the Sonia who
had worn pink chiffon and trem-
bled at his nearness.
But do you love me as much?"
she asked when they were seated.
He lighted a cigaret with nervous
fingers.
''As much as what, Sonar"
LAS you did the first night we
danced together?"
Il love you more every hour you
live. Every inch of your body,
every finger and toe. :"
She thrilled to the passion in his
voice.
II want you to. That's the way
l have to be loved"
Later, close in his arms, she whis-
pered, I'm happy now.
The next day she received a cable
from Don brlstling with one word:
Coming"
Coming"
At first it failed to register Then
she reread it, painfully. Coming,
Coming back as soon as he had ar
rived? But for what? To restore
her freedom? Or to reproach her for
indebtedness?
Oh" thought Sonia, sadly, what
that message might have meant, If
things were different"
OF course she did not love him,
He was nothing to her. although the
very thought of him made her cry.
But / won't see him." she sobbed.
I'VE have nothing to say to each
other"

she would have to see him, to ex-

This grateful statement was made
in a report received just recently
from Mrs. Mary e. Brttenham, we'll
known Indianapolis lady, living at
224 z. Morris St., this city. 1t was
given in person to the Konjola man
who is explaining this surprising
new medicine to large crowds every
day at Hooks Drug Store, Pennsyl-
vania and Market SITS, Indianapolis.
MY digestion is good for the first
time In five years" continued Mrs.
Brittenham, land I will say that
Konjola has completely ended all the
stomach miseries ever suffered and
Or several weeks now l have en-
1oyed good health.
MY first touch Of stomach trouble
came when was about Is years old.
In a few years 1 had come to the
place where nothing would relieve
me. and since 1921 have taken
medicine upon medicine. I could
never say any of these things
ended my trouble, SO you know I
have spent hundreds of dollars
without benefit. For three years
have always had a heavy, hard
lump in the left side Of my stomach.
This caused the most agonizing
pains anyone could suffer. l ate
the very lightest foods, such as
broth and crackers, but still / was
in misery. Such things as pickles,
cake or heavy food / never touched
for over five years. Even drink of
water often put me in untold agony.
Nearly every day I was subject TO
dizzy, blind feelings and after my
evening meal ! would invariably
vornit. My nerves were in such
dreadful condition that 1 would be-
come ehaky, and several times I
would get melancholy without cause
and cry like a child for hours at a
time.
Il was certainly in a poor state OF
health and had suffered so long this
way never expected to get well. l
waited several weeks before l would
finally decide to try Konjola. but
when 1 did begin taking this medi-
cine, I could feel a difference the
first week. l took four bottles and
by that time 1 was able to sleep
well at night and for the first time
in years I could eat anything
wanted. It was about SIX weeks
ago that ate cold slaw and some
cake, and never had a minute OF
suffering sfterward. I have perfect
digestion now, and the dizzy spells
DO not come. Also, that lump has
gone from my side, and the spains
and vomiting are all things of the
past now. / am not nervous or
enalSy and melancholy like / used
to be but have new energy and feel
better than can ever remember in
my life before.
After the wonderful blessing Kon-
1ola has been to my health, want
to indorse it, and will never stop
praising this medicine"

| In the evenings Franklin came.
His mother had finally been per-
suaded to go East. Although he
assured Sonia that this was dis
tinct concession on her part, she
failed to wax enthusiastic.
y He accused her, half-jokingly, Of
not desiring to marry him.
"Oh, you know do" she re-
piled. But there is SO much to be
undone first that the idea doesn't
mean anything"
The week-ends at the shack were
like a release from prison. AL
though Franklin was now free to
spend as much time with her as he
liked, the drabness Of the room in
San Francisco seemed to tarnish
their love. 1t was both depressing
and irritating to see her against
such a background.
She permitted Franklin to pay for
the food when he came for dinner.
but she could not accept other finan-
cial aid from him. One night when
she had figured until she was dizzy,
she decided she would have to use
some of the money Don had left
She consoled herself with the
thought that she would pay every
penny back before he returned.
After all, it was a gift. In her
heart she knew he would never per-
NIT her to return it, and it's solid sub
stance gave her new courage. OF
course, she would find employment
soon. There must be a job for her
somewhere
1t was almost a month since Don
had gone. She thought of him often,
but with such pain that she pushed
him from her mind. One night she
woke to see his kind, perplexed eyes
staring from the darkness She
knew it was an illusion, but she put
! her hand across her mouth to keep
from screaming. She told herself
! that he was no longer concerned
with what she did. He had received
her letter by now as well as the re
port from his mother.
But sleep had become impossible.
She turned on the gas to warm the
room and made hot cocoa. At that
moment she would have given any
thing to have heard Don whisper,
Never mind, honey, 1 understand"
Yet when Franklin came the next
evening, she flung herself into his
arms, crying, Love me. Kiss me.
Make me forget"
Forget what, sweetheart"
"Oh, the mess we've made Of
things. The difference between the
lives we lead and what we intended
to do"
Aren't you happy"
When you're here, yes" she
sighed. but everything seems diff
ferent when you're away"
He kissed her tenderly and held
her in his arms. He seemed more
serious in his affections. There was
no cruelty about him now. 1t was
her own moodiness which disturbed
their relations
Another night he found her so
restless and melancholy that he said,
Sonia, I'm afraid you've stopped
caring"
She shrugged, petulantly. II
should think you would suspect me
of that. I've done nothing to prove
I love you
Darling, you know better than
that. But you haven't been like
yourself for SO long. You're so
tense and dramatic"
Tears filed her eyes.
"Why wouldn't 1 be? Look at
the last six weeks and see If l
haven't had reason to change"
