the estates lawyer queried.
Attorney Harry Albert, another
lawyer Of the children, replied that
q guardian could be appointed by
the court to accept the judgment
In their behalf. He pointed out
statutory provisions to support his
claim that the parties who have q
real interest in an action may en-
ter as plaintiffs.
Mr.. Albert also presented argu-
ments asking for an extension of
time to perfect the appeal from the
original superior court judgment to
the state supreme court Of errors
in Hartford. He asked that the
first appeal be held up until a de-
cision Is made by the high court
on several special appeals regarding
expenses involved in appealing the
case.
Judge McEvoy set Tuesday at 10
a. m. as the time for special hear
ing on the children's financial status
The estate claims no evidence was
presented showing that the plain
tiffs are unable TO face the appeal
expenses themselves. It had been or
dered to pay $3.50 toward their coun-
sci fees and had appealed that or
der to the high court in Hartford.
Two Get 500
The two children were each left
500 from their fathers $4,000 estate
and obtained a jury's verdict last
April 8, on an appeal from probate
court in superior court. Judge Nc
Evoy last Nov. 6 set aside the YER
dict, and then the minors filed
an appeal to the Hartford court.
Meanwhile several special considera-
tions were brought into the litiga-
ton regarding expenses OF the APP
peal and also were brought to the
attention of the Hartford court.
Mr.. Atchison died Oct. IL, 1912,
leaving most Of his estate to a
brother. Edwin Atchison. His wife,
Mrs. Marion Atchison had divorced
him several years before and was
given the custody Of the children
at that time.
Judge McEvoy stated today in
asking for briefs that the court
wished to be clear on the respective
positions of the parties and also
to have authoritative support Of
their claims. He asked the lawyers
to include citations in the papers.

Weasel Inks
Lone Widow

Great Falls, Mont, Jan. IL ~.
P) - Mrs. Ella j. Rhone. elderly
widow, was in frenzy today over
Cecil the Weasel" while the city,
county and state health office de-
bates whose responsibility it was to
rid her home of the sharp toothed
intruder that sneaks into her bed
and bites her arms.
Mrs. Rhone asked the police to
shoot the blood-thirsty animal
which she and helpful neighbors
have tried unsuccessfully to trap,
electrocute, poison or get drunk so
they can catch 1t.
Mrs. Rhone told police that fire.
quent complaints to city, county
and state health authorities
brought mo advice or help She
exhibited numerous purple spots on
her arms where she said the
WeaselS teeth punctured her flesh.
It's embarrassing, she complained.
When the neighbors see the animal
scurry around the neighborhood for
a breath of air, they say there
goes Mrs. Rhone's weasel"
Roy Hollenbeck told police that
he spent one night in Mrs. Rhone's
home while she stayed with neigh
bors to match his wits against those
Of the weasel.
1T came down into the bedroom
through pipe in the ceiling. It saw
me instead of Mrs. Rhone and left"
Hollenbeck said.
The weasel scoots all around the
house, using gas and water pipes
for cat walks.
Mrs. Rhone pushed her bed back
against the wall and had three
sides screened In and the ton
/ covered in an effort to sleep undis-
turbed, but the weasel found a
crack where the screen didn't reach
the wall, and squeezed through.
Cecil is smart" said Hollen-
beck. He's a very serious annoy
ance to Mrs. Rhone."
The weasel's favorite delicacy is
coffee grounds. Mrs. Rhone prepar-
ed him q fresh dish of them,
sprinkling 1t literally with poison
but the animal snubbed the new
mixture.
"A friend told me that weasels
like whiskey. I put a dish of liquor
on the kitchen table and fixed a
mirror where ! could watch 1t. The
weasel took one drink, but wouldn't
touch the stuff again." she said.
The weasel's indoor life hasn't
kept its fur from changing from
yellow-brown to white to match the
winter snow. Mrs. Rhone said her
clothes hanging In a closet were
covered with white hairs.

rage ~
Signal Corps and to the British War
Ministry.
In final arguments, Special
Prosecutor Thomas j. Dodd had
charged that the four defendants
and the company had perpetrated
"a shameful and infamous fraud
against the government He de-
scribed as shabby" the defenSe's at
tempt to clear the four officials OF
charges Of picking the government
pockets"
Earlier, defendant Morley had tes-
titled that he had no knowledge OF
any Irregularities at the Pawtucket
plant during the production of army
field wire. He added that any avoid
ance Of specifications set by the sig
nal corps would have been directly
contrary to his instructions.
At the same time, he testified that
terrific pressure was exerted on the
plant by the signal corps to increase
wire output. He charged that John
Mooshian, a field inspector for the
signal corps, once told him that ma
chimes at the plant were running
too slowly and other people were
way ahead of U.s."
Government testimony had
brought out the fact that army con-
tracts Of more than $1,000 900 were
involved In the alleged fraud. Pros
ecution witnesses testified that q
trick transformer was used at the
Pawtucket plant to falsify results OF
electrical tests on wire. It also was
alleged that process tags were
switched daily from wires that had
passed army tests to wires that had
failed or never had been tested.
The defendants were convicted
almost year after they had been
indicted on the conspiracy charge.
