$500 no matter now muCn ~
may be, must be allowed in
the settlement of his accounts.
We cannot accept this con-
structiOn of the statute. Its
language is plain and unam-
biguOus, and means, as we
conceive. that the administra-
tor may support his account,
as to an item not exceeding
$40 for which he has no YOU
cher, ''by his own uncOntrad-
icted oath" to the fact of pay
ment, specifying when, where
and to whom it was made, ito
tide extent in all of $500"
Beyond that limit he must
support the account by vOu-
cheers and no amount of cor
rObOratiOn of his oath to the
expenditures by the testimony
of other witnesses will avail
to dispense with vouchers;
and, as to the $500 he must
show when, where and to
whom the disbursement was
made. This is the plain and
obvious reading of the stat
ute, which, so far as we are
aware, has never been Ques-
toned by this court. Such
loose and unsatisfactory sta
tements as those made by the
administrator, as to when,
where and to whom he made
the disbursement, are wholly in
sufficient. The administrator
was cOnfessedly unable to
make the statutory proofs,
and must abide the cOnsequ-
endes of his failure to do So"
Re Hendricks Estate (Cal.)
So Pac. SCI.
The California court holds ex
pressly in Horton v. Jack that tn
method of accounting eleven year
afterwards adopted by Gilbed
and Of explaining the absence o
vouchers and proving payments o
the claims said to. be just is no
in a court of equit,
but vouchers must first be pre-
scented to the probate court am
waived of these up to $500 is
privilege given only to that court
Plaintiffs persistent objection
should have been sustained. s.
far as we know this question ha
not been decided expressly by on
Supreme Court, but Gilbert pre-
sented no vouchers here. His owl
books Of account are not vouchers
the books and checks of Cecil;
Montgomery are not vouchers
Not a receipt is presented to tn
court of equity here from an
party holding a claim. The closes
is the evidence Of tn
of the Basin Mercantil
Company, saying that Gilber
paid him $6598.36 and his evi
dence shows that no claim wa
ever filed for this.
''The law does not cOntem-
plate that claims of an ad-
ministratOr for reimburse
ment for moneys expended
before his appointment can be
established by his uncOntrad-
icted evidence. especially
where such evidence and as
signmlent presented as his
voucher show that m the face
of the record legal claim or
right is in another whose
rights are not fOrecIOsed."

STATEMENT OF THE CASE
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1936-11-06

Of course, there were other large
sales of personal property be-
tween the time Of these sales and
the four years afterwards. In De-
cenlber, following these sales In
April, 1920, Ieimert reports in his
statement, on hand $7S, 10000 Of
personal property mostly cattle.
What became of them or their in
crease is unknown. There was 10
inventory or appraisement during
those years. There is no. account.
This personal property was con-
verted. Had there been any loss
in business which the court below
speaks of Gilbert would have been
glib to tell it in his testimony.
There was no loss. The loss was
in interest charges compounded
every six months or oftener and
in embezzlement and malfeasance
in office. Nor is there any refuge
for Gilbert behind the skirts OF
Mrs. Montgomery. Mrs. Montgo-
merry kept a book, presented IN
this court, and she paid, accord
ing to her testimony, all moneys
that she received from the ranch,
over to Gilbert. There is no claim
by Gilbert that she short-changed
the estate in any particular. At
the word of the Bank of Dillon
and Gilbert, she checked 1888 600,
of Estate money. If Montgomery
had considered his wife of bust
ness ability to act as his execu-
trix he would doubtless have
named her such in the will.

FRAUD

Perry in his great work on
Trusts says that the courts have
never defined "fraud" because
they feel that if a definition is
made of it, designing men will
still put over schemes outside Of
the definition that are really
fraudulent.
The Court below holds Gilbert
not guilty of fraud, holds the
Bank of Dillon not guilty Of
fraud, holds Peterson and Glenn
ow, the dummies, not guilty of
fraud. But, without any definition,
other courts hold their conduct
here fraudulent. Michaud ". Gil
rod, 4 Howard 500. Why the
crazy quilt of lies to the probate
court if they did not themselves
know their acts were fraudulent
about the lands?
Concerning the liability of the
Bank Of Dillon, the Supreme
Court has also spoken frequently.
