Mr.. Fenning claims 1t for his
alleged services to the veteran.
Among those services are listed Mr..

papers were the hospitals authority

All But $1,000 Gained
On Gaskell's first demand for his
money, Fenning, this writer was
told, offered the following terms:
Gaskell was to sign . document
agreeing to allow Fenning to deduct
from the estate commissions
amounting to eleven or twelve hun.
dred dollars; and he was further to
agree that Jennings bondsman was
to be released from all responsibility
for any and all Of Jennings Gcts
as committee Of Gaskell's estate,
Fenning apparently being under the
impression that the jury was wrong.
GaskeH refused, and after nearly
two months, got Fenning into court,
where he was ordered by the Judge
to pay Gaskell the undisputed
amount of the estate. and to keep
the possible balance, which the
court set at $1,000, for further ad.
judica tion-and expense.
In September Nashville Gaskell
was still a patient-the court was
asked to approve% the veterans
transfer, to an institution in Perry.
vile, Maryland, which would per.
nit the appointment of a guardian
in that jurisdiction, and the dis
charge of Fenning from his duties
as guardian In this one.
But Attorney Curtis had already
been retained, in the habeas corpus
action. and he put his foot down
with considerable force and sudden.
ness on the Perryville trip.
Gaskell didn't ooze unobtrusively
out Of st. Elizabeth's, as the other
80 or 40 had, and was accordingly
in a more favorable position to
force the habeas corpus action to
a conclusion. and to serve the two
writs on Mr.. Fenning, and get his
money back than he would have
been II he had made the one-way
trip to out.of.the-way Perryville.

In Washington. everything was

He told of another case-neither
Of them were Washington cases, by
the way-where 500 was charged q
veteran for filing certain papers,
for which service the legal fee is
$40.
All expenses in connection with
the new guardianship proceedings
would be chargeable to the ward.
We found that out.
Why Overcharge?
1 But why take him from his happy
home in st. Elizabeth's, stick him
out in the sticks, and then stick
him again for unnecessary legal
services? Haven't we got any
home talent Of that kind?
Now. let's consider the case of
John w. Gaskell, which case II.
illustrates certain features Of the
foregoing. Well only hit the high
spots in this story, because every
one. probably. knows about what
Gaskell did.
But not so many know what was
done to him.
