When Lawyer McDonough forgot some little previous statement, At- torney Hart made a big point of it and said, “Well I guess I haven't any monopoly on the poor memory this morning.” The local Jlawyer re- plied, “Well, the only difference fis that we admit it and you don't.” It was hard to get you though,” said the Elm City man. Mr. Clark said that when he signed thé paper turning the business over to his son he didn’t know what it all meant. Judge Hungerford did not explain it to him, he said, Mrs. Clark Always Paid. Frank Royce of Plainville, an em- ploye at Eaton 'Brothers' grain and feed store for twenty-eight years, tes- tified that he knew Bridget Clark and in years past had received orders from her. She always paid him dur- ing the . eighteen years he did bus. iness with her, Wants Business Into Estate. B, W. Schultz, administrator of the estate, was next called ta the witness stand. He said he was named ad- ministrator in April, 1913, and took charge the next meonth. Mr. Schults said he made a demand on Jaseph Clark: for half of the.livery business in December, 1913, but received no satisfaction. ‘When he took charge of the estate there were bills of $3,- 000 or<$§4,000 ‘against' it, and he had no money with which to pay. Mr. Schultz said he had talked to Ber- nard Clark regarding ‘the rent. This question was fo show whether or not Bernard Clark had ever, by neglect or wilfully," abandoned his rights as statuatory trustee. Attorney . Hart objected, saying that under the sta- tute of 1849 Mrs. Clark could not take half ownership of the business. As Mr. and Mrs. Clark were married in 1866 and the law of 1849 was not changed until 1877, argued Attorhey Hart, Mrs. Clark never had any rights to the business, After some contro- Versy Mr, Schultz replied to the ques- tion, that Mr. Clark had told him that he did not care to claim his de- ceased wife’s half of the livery bus- iness and wanted it to go into the es. tate and be divided among their chil- dren. Judge Klett and Mrs. John t 1 ! The jury was then excused and Lawyer Hart made a motion for ron-suit -on three grounds. In gen- eral the plaintiff has not proven their case or the necessary .allegations: secondly, if their evidence is correct the business is owned by the estate and by B, Clark, yet Bernard is not Joined. The suit was brought with- out censulting the old man until they needed him as a witness, yet he is & part owner and should have been | joined; thirdly, as Mr. and Mrs. Clark were married in 1866 and Mrs. Clark had a little livery business which, according to the old custom, he thought belonged to his wife too anq fehe, like a good wife, looked after Their marriage was under the law of 1849 and, therefore, the wife could | not accumulate any profits for hei- self. This law was not changed un- til 1877, Therefore, argued Lawye: Hart, Mrs. Clark could not have legal. 1y had any part in that business and during his life the husband owns the | business and property absolutely. The plaintiffs are arguing by the inverse method, concluded Lawyer | Hart. Attorney McDonough Replies, | In reply Lawyer McDonough, for| the plaintiffs, argued to show that!| by his megligence Bernard Clark has| forfeited his rights as statuatory trus- | tee. The plaintift aid mot try to| shaw that Joseph Clark does not OWn a half interest in the livery bus- inéss by virtue of the bill of sale from his father. The claim is that he has no right to the half interest | of the business which belonged tol his mother and naturally goes to her estate. Judge Tuttle said that the only ques- tion in his mind fs whether or not| Mrs. Clark ever really had a legal| half interest in the business. At- torney MeDonough argued that it is; for the jury to decide whether or not | Mrs. Clark had a half Interest in ‘he business, There are three aspects of the case, sald Mr. MeDonough, first, did Ber- nard Clark have the right %o divert a part of his property to his wfe; if he did the second point would be whether o8 not Joseph Glark illegally took possession of this property; and thirdly, if he did what damages should he pay. Recess to Investigate, Judge Tuttle said the case should not have been tried by the jury in the first place as t leaves him to deccide an important question without inves- tigation. He was not sure whether or not Mrs. Clark even had an actual and clear title to a part of the bus- iness. At 11:55 o'clock he declared an hour's recess, during which time hq would study more deeply into ths matter, to decide if Mrs. Clatk, mar- ried before 1877, can acquire any propefty or anynterest in any proper- ty with her husband. Case Is Thrown Out. Court again convening at _1:15 o’clock Judge Tuttle announced his decision, which was that TLawyer Hart's motion for a non-suit was granted, therefore the case Wi thrown out of court Judge Tuttl Decision. In arriving at his decision Judge Tuttle said he found that on their ! marriage Mr. and Mrs. Clark bhad | owned nething but later accumulated | more property. He said it was their | understanding without any definite agreement, that they owned property | jointly and Mrs. Clark had always rc- | garded hersélf as joint owner. But| by her marriage under the laws of the time Mrs. Clark’s right te acquire property was suspended. Judge Tuttle tlesaid he did not think that prop- erty was suspended. Judge Tuttie said he did not think that property can be acquired by a woman married in 1866 so as to hold it against the vendee’ of the husband in good faith. He voiced the opimion that if the wife had a share in the business the action is against her husband. The judge then rerharked that he thinks the good faith of the bill of sale granted by Bernard Clark to Joseph, should be inquired into and on ac- count of the question as to its. good faith he was reluctant %o admit the motion for non-suit. Neverthcless, as the case had been presented te him, he could see his way clear to do noth- ing else. ‘“Attorney Hari's motion for a non-suit is granted,” said Judge Tuttle. Another Suit Coming, Although Joseph Clark has been | victorious in this case, the estate is still far from settled. Administrator Schultz now plans. to bring suit against Joseph Clark for the rent of the barns which he ¢lalms belong to the estate. ™\ / Attorney Tmothy F.

He claims to be entirely right in this matter and says he is taking no un- due advantage and wants enly what is rightly his. He says the thought that he ls trying to “do” hi§ poor oid father is preposterous. “Why, I pay my father $26 on the 17th of each onith. I pay it to him through At- torney Joseph G. Woods, his lawy for if'1 gave it to him personally might say he never got it,” says Clark.
