Mr.. Luce referred to report by a
doctor at st. EliZabeth's, in which
he said Mr.. Fenning constantly op-

Il might say that at noon / received
a communication from the auditor
Of the District Supreme Court to ap-
pear at a hearing Saturday morning
at the Court House. which will pass
on that precise question. The hear
ing means that the auditor will take
testimony and report to the court.
This question never was raised until
brought up recently. It Is a perfectly
proper point and the only way In
which the manner can receive author
itative attention.
II believe the statement has been
made here by the auditor that I re.
received double commissions. AS q
lawyer, challenge that statement.
1t is a subject on which persons can
talk both ways until the cows come
home"
Mr.. Luce then asked about notarial
fees and the witness positively denied
that he ever received a penny's re-
turn, directly or indirectly, from the
fees he paid for notarial services.
Mr.. Fenning was unable to give
the committee an exact statement of
the average annual earning power
OF the total amount OF estates under
his charge, but he estimated that 1t
ran from Az to per cent.
"It appears by the record that you
very commonly receive 10 per cent
commissions. Do you pass individual
judgment on each case?' asked Mr..
Luce.
"The commissions are for individual
and personal services on my part"
replied Mr.. Fenning. II go over
my memorandum Of services render
ed, the ledger, the number of appear
ances necessary in court and the cor
respondence that has been had"
"Is the 10 per cent based on totals?"
1.-THE usual case Is to base it on pro-
fessional services rendered, plus over
head of my Office, and duties as COM
mittee. I might say that II you had
one case that you camped out with
and performed all the necessary duties,
/ think the amount you would ask
for would exceed 10 per cent. I've
gone the limit to supply my wards
with everything within reason. In
only one case drew the line, and that
was when a man wanted me to buy
him a live duck to keep in the ward" :"
Mr.. Fenning said his wards had i'm
mediate access to him at all times. II
the matter Is urgent, he is called on
the telephone. In many cases. he add
ed, he has assisted men in being dis
charged. but he explained that 1t was
