 RECEIVE FULL AMOUNT
Supreme Court Fixes the Sums Each Bonding Company
 Must Pay

The Supreme Court of Errors has ! fixed the amount that the two surety companies on the bond of c. Harold | Gilpatrie. as ekecutaf of the estate Of the late Joseph ' Cutler of Put nam. must pay for the aefaieati8ns | of the exeeutor iu handling hts trust. The liability of the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company 0f [ Baltimore is fixed al Sl9.sl5.47 and ! that of the Royal Indemnity Company Of Boston at si4 .9ss.59. a total of S34 .765.0G. This payment is said to cover the total loss to the estate through the executors misappropria- tions.
 Both bonding companies appealed the decision of Judge Ernest C. Simp- son of the superior court apportioning the liability of the United States Fi- delity & Guaranty Co. at $2i .657.56 and that of the Royal Indemnity Co. at SIS. l07.50. Tn their appeal the companies raised certain questions of law on which they predicated error. The supreme court found that there vas no error on the appeal of the Royal Indemnity Co. IL found error on the appeal of the United States Fidelity ( Guaranty Co. set the judgment aside. and remanded the ease Go the lower court for judgment iH accordance with the figures of the supreme court

 This evidence WAS the inception of Governor Trumhull's investigation to learn whether the states fands were intact and whether it had any Liberty Bonds to which Che state was not rn- titled. The subsequent investigation revealed the integrity of the state's accounts and funds.
