Yeomans of Hart- ford for the first examination of the bankrupt. The hearing was held from 10 o'clock to noon in the office of Bankruptcy Referee Thomas M. Shields and was marked by the attempt of Roderick M. Douglass, at- torney for John F. Craney, one of the creditors, to show that Mr. Donovan has omitted from his schedule of assets sev- en pieces of real estate in this city of a value of $7,000. The bankruptcy schedules shows one plece of real estate valued at $1,700. Mr. Donovan's antipathy to Attorney Douglass and Mr. Donovan, which once before at a hearing resuited in an at- tack with his fists upon Mr. Craney, was again in evidence Thursday.

In Claim Bankruptcy Schedule Does Not Contain All Donovan's Real Estate 1914 there were 11 houses, in 1915 ten, in 1916, eleven, in 1917 three, and in 1918 one of the value of $1,700. It was brought ‘out that in 1917 the Dime Sav- ings bank had foreclosed mortgages on four of the pieces of real estate, and these were bought from the bank by Mrs. Donovan. Certificates from the town clerk’s of- fice, dated January 21, 1912, which was about two weeks after Mr. Donovan went into bankruptcy, were produced to show that the title to the seven pieces of property steod in his name then. In rejoinder to these Mr. Donovan said that the property was bought with his wife's money and that he was trustee for her. One of the claims of Attorney Doug- lass is that when the bank foreclosed on the homestead property there was ha tract of land left over that was nou covered by the foreclosure. Mr. Donovan was asked if he did not remember point- ing out to Sheriff Draper the boundaries of this extra tract. He said he dij noi. He was asked if he did not point these boundaries to the sheriff in the heuring of Mr. Craney.
