COURT HALTS SUIT
AGAINST SISTERS
Proceedings to Have Women,
95 and 81, Adjudged of
UnSound Mind Stopped.

Legal proceedings to have Miss
and her sister, Miss Lucinda Alice
Berry, 95. adjudged of unsound mind
were halted today by Chief Justice
Walter I. Mccoy when Attorneys
Morgan H. Beach and Samuel S. Beach,
representing Washington relatives of
the sisters, pointed out that the sisters
had been prevented from reading the
petitions and writs which were served
on them by a deputy United States
marshal at 1888 Wisconsin avenue.
These relatives are opposing the ad-
judication.
The jury was excused until Monday
morning and the court intimated that
the respondents be given an oppor-
tunity to learn of the proceedings. The
two women were recently rescued from
a fire at their home, 300 Dumbarton
avenue.
Great Niece TestifieS.
Miss Annie Price Craighill of Balti-
more, a great niece of the two women,
testified that her mother, Mrs. Anne
Mary Craighill, who filed the petitions,
is unable to leave her home in Balti-
more. Her mother had been reared
from infancy in the Berry home, she
stated, and the witness during the past
six years had attended to the financial
affairs of Miss Martha and fer several
months for Miss Lucinda. She never
permitted the elder woman, the witness
said, to know anything about the house.
hold and ether bills because of the
desire to save her from worry. The
younger woman handled her own busi-
ness affairs until a fall some months
ago. when the witness was given a
limited power Of attorney from her.
The cross-examination of Attorney
Samuel S. Beach disclosed the doubt of
the women having read or heard of the
petitions when the witness asserted she
was confident they did not know about
it and remarked, IF thought they
had to know never would have had
tn proceedings started"
In halting the proceedings the chief
justice said he appreciated the humane
motive not to shock the old people, but
the law requires that they be apprised
of the contents of paper claiming
them to be of unsound mind
Mrs. Craighill, who filed the petitions,
was represented by Attorneys Henry S.
Matthews and James E. Burroughs, jr.

nobody to manage the boats" he said.
From the lifeboat he saw the Vestris
go down.
1.-TWO boats, as far as could see, No.
and No. 4, were still attached to the
falls" he said, "and they went down
with the ship"
Chief Officer Picked Up.
Johnstone said his lifeboat picked up,
among other swimmers, the chief officer
OF the VeStris.
HE told u.s." Johnstone said, "that a
rescue ship would be along about 4:30.
We had been rowing through the wreck
age picking up everybody we could, I'M
til we had 45 in our lifeboat, which was
being constantly bumped and endan-
gered by floating wreckage. When we
had filled our boat, we stood by wait
ing for the rescue ship that was to
come at 4:30
Capt. T. P. Jessop, the American
nautical advisor, questioned Johnstone
about the launching of the boats.
Were any passengers told to go out
to the starboard boatS?" JeSsop asked.
I'VE were not told that they were
even going to launch the Starboard
boats" he replied
WAS there at any time any tendency
of officers or crew of the ship to assist
the passengers" JeSsop asked.
On Different Decks.
'The officers were all on the hurri-
cane deck and the passengers on the
promenade. The second steward did
excellent work, through going about
among the passengers and encouraging
them.
Johnstone said that soon after mid
night Sunday, he saw one of the life
boats on the starboard side swung out.
THAT first made me realize that the
difficulty was serious" he said
Jessop asked him If the passengers
were told to put on lifebeltS.
1--WE were not" he said.
AS JohnStone was excused from the
stand, Tuttle said that, sin view of the
clear and comprehensive story of Mr..
JohnStone," he did not believe it would
be necessary to call any more paSsen-
gers.
Quartermaster Called.
Lionel Licorish, quartermaster of the
Vestris and one of the heroes of the
disaster, followed Johnston to the
stand.
He said the ship seemed to be list
ing Sunday afternoon, but he did not
know the cause. He was at the wheel
at this time, he said.
Sunday evening in the sailors quar-
terS he heard crash and was pitched
across the ship. Cargo crashing through
a wall fell over him, he said, but he
extricated himself and went on deck
to see what had happened.
BY $3.50 o'clock, he said, the cargo
had shifted more and the list had in

Monday morning sit was rumored
that water was flowing through the
coaling half door, and orders were given
the carpenter to repair the leak" he
said. Orders to bail were given early
Monday afternoon and short time later
jettisoning of cargo was ordered.
Later some men began lowering boats
after the liner was ordered abandoned.
He said the captain tried veering the
vessel after lowering boats began to
take advantage of wind direction, but
she proved uncomfortable.
