Noble Conflict A QUESTION OF MEMORY| Co-Executor Denles Statement of Witnesses for Heirs That First Pay- ment of $2,500 in February, 1914, ‘Was ‘for His Services in Full. * Confiicting statements by witnesses fcatured the hearing before Judge B. | ¥, Gaffney in the court of probate resterday on the accounting of Patrick McCabe as co-executor of the estate of ex-Representative ~ Thomas H. Brady. Mr. McCabe had been paid $2,500 for his services in February, 1914, and he said he believed he was entitled to $2,500 more for his ser- vices since that time. Mrs. Nellie J. Brady, widow of Thomas H. Brady and a co-executor with Mr. McCabe, opposed the allowance on the ground that it had been understood that Mr. McCabe was paid in full when he re- ceived the first $2,500. Part of the testimony was given in Yesterday’s Herald and the hearing was in pro- gress when this paper went to press. Settling Disputes of Estate. On the witness stand Mr. McCabe told of his work in settling the dis- putes between -the estate and the Hartford Auto Parts company. MTr. Brady, with three others, had signed an agreement guaranteeing the pay- ment of the debts of the company up to $40,000. The three others were Charles Mueller, William H. Cadwell and Dr. J. J. Andzulatis. Of this amount $20,000 was paid and the Hartford National bank brought suit for the other $20,000 against the Brady estate. Mr. Mec- Cabe said he declined to pay although judgment was secured in superior court. The obligation was finally { lifted from the estate during the re- adjustment period of the Auto Parts: company, which released the estate from the burden. Mr. McCabe said he was occupied for a long time on this matter. * Explaining other work in connec- tion with his executorship, Mr. Mc- Cabe said "he signed notes and checks and assisted in the sale of seventy-nine building lots, the prop- erty of Cadwell & Brady, for $250 euch or a total of $19,750. He be- lieved his duties entitled him to an allowance of $2,500 more. Opposed Rcorganization Plan. Several meetings of the directors and stockholders of the Hartford Auto Parts company were held, Mr. Brady said, and he was in attend- ance. He told of one meeting where it was proposed to reorganize. Major Wilcox, he said, suggested that the stockholders surrender their holdings and receive in re- turn fifty per cent. of the stock of a new company, expressing the opinion that the new company would pay a seven per cent, dividend. All the stockholders were willing to sign an agreement of this nature except Mr. McCabe, representing the Brady estate, and a few others. Mr. McCabe said he told the stockholders he would not sign unless the company relieved the estate of Mr. Brady's signature as the cndorser of a guarantee to pay the debts of the concern. One lawyer at the meeting, on learning of Mr. Mc- Cabe’s attitude, remarked: ‘‘Well, we may as well go back to Hartford and rut the company into bankruptey.” Mr. McCabe resented this statement |and said that if any one was to initiate bankruptcy proceedings it should be the Brady estate as it was the heaviest creditor. Referring to ‘the sale of building lots, Mr, McCabe said he was fre- quently called on by Mr. Cadwell for advice, which he gave. He told of the transfer of a strip of land in the | west end to Philip Corbin. This land was valued at $9,000 and was mort- waged for that amount to Philip Cor- | bin, grandfather of the present | Philip. The latter inherited the mort- gage and gave notice that he wanted it paid. In lieu of payment, Mr. Cadwell and the Brady estate tran ferred the land to Mr. Corbin, Mr. McCabe said. Mr. McCabe was cross-examined by Judge William J. Malone of Bristol, counsel for the Brady heirs. He | | asked Judge Gaffney for a ruling as| | to whether the claim for compensa- tion made by Mr. McCabe was for his | entire stewardship or for the time which has elapsed between the pay- | | nient of the first $2,500 and the pres | ent. Judge Gaffney did not make a ruling but expressed the opinion that | it was for the latter period. Mirs. Brady Thought $2,500 Excessive, Under questioning, Mr. McCabe said he'had 'a conversation with Mrs. | Brady on the day he received the first $2,500 and she thought that amount excessive but later agreed to | the payment, He said all checks from the Brady estate were sent out from the office of the Brady Electric and Manufacturing company at 42 Center i street except the .one for $2,500 for DRINK HABIT | RELIABLE HOME TREATMENT.

How many hun- dred thousands of dollars are spent cvery Christmas, and in fact every day (for every day is some child's birthday), on toys, often expensive, which are broken in a few days and discarded! Meccano is more than a pastime—it is a great moral force for the train- ing of a boy. No boy who uses Meccano can be a bad boy. The hobby teaches him to think. It teaches him patience. It teaches him thorough- ness because every model must be thoroughly and properly con- structed and fixed up accurately and firmly before it will work properly. It teaches him-order and method, because he learns to take care of the beautiful Meceano parts, and to put them away carefully and in proper order after he has used them. It teaches him to invent, because after he has made all the models shown in the book of instructions he can go on designing others for himself. There is no engineering movement which he cannot demonstrate and make use of with Meccano. Meccano is engineering; it is educational; it may be, and has been, the means of starting many a bright boy on a prosperous career in what is probably the most important field of experiment and research in modern times—engineering and mechanics. who — Your Gift to ‘““Him?*° Buy Him a Man’s Gift, something that he will value, not only for your sake but because he knows that it is just the thing he would have selected for himself.

Witness denied that he said the payment would cover his entire services as co-executor and he did not say that it would remunerate kim for his work in connection with the Auto Parts company. “Then your present claim is for ex- tricating, the Brady estate from . its tangle with the Hartford Auo Parts company ?” asked Judge Malone. “Not entirely,” repljed Mr. McCabe. “Well tell us just what actual work you did regarding the sale of land be- longing to the estate and Mr. Cad- well,” said the attorney for the heirs. “I talked it over several times with Mr. Cadwell,” was the reply, “and we thought we should get $300 a lot but were able to get only $250.” Mr. McCabe told of Philip -Corbin serving notice that the $9,000 mort- gage must be paid and of the trans- fer of the land to Mr. Corbin. Speak- ing of the settlement of the income from the estate, he said Mrs. Brady was allowed $6,000 a year for ex- penses at first and later Judge Gaff- ney ruled that she was entitled to the entire income. Estate Relieved of Obligation. Referring again to the trouble with the Hartford National bank, Mr. Mc- Cabe said he refused to pay the judg- ment of $20,000 against the estate he- cause he thought it was unfair that the Brady estate should be singled out when there were three other endors- ers of the $40,000 guarantee. He ex- pressed the opinion that the Brady e tate was selected because of its size. He had Mr. Cadwell cal] a meeting of the officers of the Auto Parts com- pany and the company agreed to as- sume responsibility for all litigation, engaging Attorney Andrew J. Broughel of Hartford. Later the company relieved the estate of the L obligation caused by the endorsement | of Mr. Brady and a reorganization | She said she knew nothing of Mr. McCabe’s bill until she saw it in the court of probate. She said she had not discussed the bill with Mr. Mec- | Cabe previously. | Continuing his cross examination. | Judge Walsh asked Mrs. Brady if she remembered Mr. McCabe telling her he had saved the estate from an ob- ligation for $20,000. She denied that he had told her this. She said she saved the estate from the obligation by turning in her stock at the reor- ganization of the- Auto Parts pany. W. J. Noble On Stand. William J. Noble succeeded Mrs. Brady as a witness. He said he met Mr. McCabe at the corner of Main and Commercial street about ten days after the payment of the first §2,500 and told him the heirs were angry at the size of his bill and never would have agreed to it had they been aware it was to be paid. Mr. Noble testi- fied that Mr. McCabe then said his services in the Auto Parts dispute would be included in that $2,500. “I attended several meetings of the stockholders of the Auto Parts i company and I never heard Mr. Mc- | Cabe say a word,” Mr. Noble said. Mr. McCabe was recalled as a wit- ness and he denied havirg the con- versation at the corner of Main and Commercial streets as related by Mr. Noble. He said the only conversa- tion he had with, Mr. Noble was pre- vious to the payment of the $2,500. Mr. Noble was recalled and he de- nied talking with Mr. McCabe before the payment of the $2,500. ‘When the lawyers concluded their arguments Judge Gaffney took the ;rapers in the case and reserved de- cision. NURSES SCHOOL HAS ITS ANNUAL SESSION was effected, the stockholders receiv- | ing fifty per cent. of new stock for 100 per cent. of their holdings in the old concern. , Mr. McCabe said he persuaded Mrs. Brady to pay $2,250 on $10.000 which the endorsers were paying on the $40,000. This brought the amount down to $20,000 as $10,000 had been paid previously. Mrs. Brady made out her personal checks, ne said, and then stopped payment on it until he talked with her and convinced her it was all for the best. In answer to a question by Mr, Ma- lone, Mr. McCabe said he had no con- versation with Wwilliam J. Novle, manager of the Brady Electric and Manufacturing company, to the effect that the first payment of $2,500 would be for his services in full. Mrs. Brady told him, he said, that she would be willing to lose every dollar invested in stock of the Auto Parts company to be relieved of the tangle with the Hartford National bank. This con- cluded his testimony. Considered First Bill An Outrage. Mrs. Brady was the first witness for the heirs. She said she was sufficiently familiar with Mr. McCabe's duties to know just what he had done. She said she positively opposed the pay- ment of $2,500 for his services since February, 1914, as she did not think his work entitled him to it. she considered the first bill for $2,500 an outrage but she feared having the estate brought to court and she signed the check for that amount. When Mr. McCabe wished to resign as co-eXecutor at that time, she said, Judge Gaffney advised that Mr. Mc- Cabe be retained until the settlement of the disputes between the estate and the Auto Parts company. She told the judge at that time, she said, that she could not affqrd to have Mr. Mc- Cabe continue and the latter, she said, told her there would be no extra charge. Cross examined by Judge John ‘Walsh, counsel for Mr. McCabe, Mrs. Brady replied, “I don’t remember,” to several questions put to her. These questions had to do. with certain al- leged conferences between her and Mr. McCabe over the payment of the first $2,500.. She denied that she had abused Mr. McCabe after paying her personal check for $2,500 on a $10,000 payment to the Hartford Na- tional bank. She said she held up the payment of the check for some time on the advice of her sons. Judge Gaffney took a hand in the questioning and asked Mrs. Brady 'whether she recalled Mr. - McCabe presenting a bill. for $2,700 in . Feb- ruary, 1914. She did not remember the incident. Neither did she recall Mr. McCabe taking $200 off the bill. She said | Many Names Added to the List of In- corporators—Trouble in Secur- ing Pupils, Following the annual meeting of the New Britain hospital incorpora- tors yesterday, the annual meeting of | the New Britain Hospital Training School for Nurses was held at the Y.

GAMBLING HOUSE OWNER IS FINED John Ishoo Pays Court $50 and Costs—Frequenter Also Guilty John Ishoo appeared before Judge James T. Meskill in police court this morning and pleaded guilty to run- ning a gambling house on Washington sireet. On recommendation of Pro- secuting Attorney George W. Klett, o fine of $60 and costs was imposed. Isho's downfall came as a result of a gambling raid made at Etores Con- drilla’s coffee house on Washington place over a week ago. In the sub- cequent tria] it was brought out that some of the frequenters of this resort, alter leaving, journeyed over to Ishoo's ‘Washington street house where they lost what money they had not left at the coffee house. At the time a search was made for Ishoo beu he was among the missing. He returned however, and was arraigned today “Louie The Barber” Fined. During Condrilla’s trial the name of ‘Louie the barber” was frequently mentioned as being one of the con- stant frequenters of these gambling houses and one of the rhost consistant winners. It developed that Loule was none other than Louis Alvertis. He, too, disappeared for a time but on his return was arrested by Officer Malone on a charge of frequenting the gambling house, On the advice of his lawyer, W. F.

Ishoo and Alvertis are winners while the others loose.” Lawyer Mangan objected client being called a gamble not a gambler, he's a barber,’ plained. ‘A fine of $10 and costs was im- rosed on the barber. Junk Dealer Fined. Benjamin Cutler, a junk dealer, was charged on three counts with failure to make a report each week as to the quantity of scrap he had i urchased and from whom, Prose- cutor Klett said that Cutler has not reported since September 23, Cutler admitted his negligence, but insisted that it was not to cover up any wrong. He was fined $5 and costs on each count, amounting to $15 and costs, One Guilty—Onec Discharged. Both John Pozzetta and Alex Nid- erofski were charged with breach of the peace by assaulting each othcr. They pleaded not guilty. Officer Mat- thias Rival arrested the two on North street at 5:40 o'clock yester- day afternoon. He said the scrav was on the sidewalk and an umbrella was being used as a weapon of of- fense. Niderofski said he went into a store and asked for a party, where- upon Pozzetta ordered him out and called him a Jew crook. He also sald that Pozzetta followed him up the street and annoyed him, whereupon he shoved him aside. Pozzetta broke his umbrella, the witness said. Pozzetia was represented by Attor- ney George LeWitt. On the stand he said he had accused Niderofski or twice trying to collect a bill already paid. He also accused Niderofski of raising a bill of $4 to §10. The trouble came to a head, h ver, to he ex- when Niderofski called him a “guin- | ea.” Judge Meskill imposed a of $3 and costs on Pozzetta. ofski was discharged, when it was shown that after the argument in the store Pozzetta followed him some distance up the street, prolonging the wrangle and finally laying violent fine Nider- hands on him. i Neighbors Have Fight.
