Browning of Norwieh, who commenced a minute examination of each of the entries in the schedule of liablities and assets. The claim of the Williman- tic Lumber & Coal Co. was taken up in particular, the claim amounting to $3.382.59 for labor. Mr. O'Donovan said that all.of this was earnel after January 1, 1911, with the exception of $125, that was back pay for Jose Campion, Jere Haley and Michael J. Campion. The claim .of Michael O'Donovan for $3§ was also taken up., The bankrupt stated that this was earned by Mr. O’'Donovan after the proceedings had been insti- tuted against him, when the affairs were being looked after by the Willi- mantic Lumber & Coal Co. .The chat- tel mortgage given to Joseph T, Fan- ning for somcthing over $1,609, was | next taken up. It was explained that this was given to take up two notes, oue of $1,000 and the other of $600, that had become due in January. Adjournment was taken for one hour to allow' the court to take dinner. Chattel Mortgage. The examination of the bankrupt was resumed in the afternoon, the claim of Frank v’Donovan for $30 be- ing taken up. This was for three weeks' pay in March. Replying to a question, Mr. O'Donovan said that the chattel morigage covcred machinery, horses, wagons and tools, the propert: now being in the possession of the trustee. The mortgage was given the first week in January. Various Claims. A claim of Faton Chase Co., -among the secured claims, was not protect- ed by any property. Frederick A. Cheney’s claim of §285 was secured by a lien on ‘machinery, that is, ma- chinery that was seld to him on con- ditional sale. The elaim covers three wood werking machines. The Kate Delaney or Valentine Murphy claim is only protected by a note and was given to pav a labor claim at Mystic. The noie o the Norwich Electric company was not secured and was given in payment for labor and part pavment for a contract that is not closed. He said that he believed that the cl. of the Willimantic Lum- ber & {oal Co.’ for $17,533 was cor- rect. He stated that at the time the schedules were made out he did not have $50 on hand and ibat since he has not got that amount and that all he has received since has been for personal _service. Gne of the two horses entered in the assets had been sold for his keep. The bankrupt thought that a fair value of the ma- chinery, office furniture, étc, entered as assets for $2,500, was about $1,200. He. made an assignment on January 28 to the Willimantic Lumber & Coal Co. of a quantity of lumber in Nor- ich, which was removed. abeut a month later, The: rest of the lum- ber mentioned in the assets, except that part sent by the trustee to Mys- tic, was still in Norwich. A meeting of -all his creditors. svas held on the 14th of February for the purpgse of making an assignment but not enough would sign to have it become effec- tive: this attempt was made to save the bankruptcy proceedings. Total Liabilities $30,000. Instead of the $28,094.38 given as the amount of the secured claims in the schedule of liabilities and assets, it should read $2,894.38. This error was caused in addition; the total liabili- ties, therefore, in reality being but approximately $30,000. Mr. O'Dono- van was of the opinion that practi- eally all of the $8,428.61 put down as debts due on open beok.accounts are collectible. Judge Browning next went into » lengihy examination as to the condition of the various accounts, the amount of work still to be done on the contracts and the money due on same. He retained the bankrupt up to the time the hearing was closed for the dey, at about 4.30, although when he was accorded the courtesy of the floor he expressly stipulated that he would not exceed more than three- quarters of an hour at the outside. Hearing Adjourned. Mr. O’'Donovan claimed that he had been very fortunate since he first start- ed in pusiness three vears ago in se- curing good contracts and that it as o5 much of a mystery to him as to anvonme else that he had become so0 greatly involved. He denied alle- gations of having speculated and said that ‘while the first year that he was in husiness ‘he showed a deficit of $2.000, if anyone had asked him how much he was worth, a year ago, he { would have replied that ahove all la- bilities. tire ¢ figure, would have was adjourned at 4.30 / Death of Infant Daughter.
