Bentley and Mrs. Andrew-J. Bentley was started before Judge Milton A. Shumway of Déniel- son appointed as special committee in the case. .- < The appeal was taken from the ac- tion of Judge Arthur B. Calkins of the probate court in allowing the ac-| count of Attorney John C. Geary as attorney and agent for Mrs. Bentley, administratrix of the estate of her hus- band. 3 The appellants are: Ruth Bentley O'Neil of Willimantic, W. Dow Bent- ley and A. Jackson Bentley of New York, and Misses Abbie and Mary Bentley of New Haven, children of Mr. and Mrs. Bentley. The hearing began at 10.30 and’ the morning session was taken up almost entirely with “sfatements by the attor- neys for both sides and reading of the reasons of appeal, the only. witness in the morning being Judge of Probate Ar- thur B, Calkins. Attorneys Hadlai A.. Hull and Frank L. McGuire of the firm | of Hull, McGuire & Hull, and Attorney Thomas E. Troland represent the heirs. Mr. . Geary is represented‘ by Judgs’ Charles B. Waller, who is being assisted | by Attorneys Marion R. Davis and Ar- thur T. Keefe, Mr. Geary's associates in the firm of Geory, Davis & Keefe. Judge Waller opened the hearing with a statement, in which he recited the na-| ture of the case and declared that Mr. Geary filed an account in the probate court in 1910, but it was not passed up- on and was not accepted untfl 1920, Attorney McGuire, in a statement to the court declared that this was the first his clients knew eof the filing of an ac- count in 1910. The only account® which his clients know anything about was the one filed in 1920*and he did not know ‘what the previous history of the account of 1910 is. The first account that his clients saw was when about a yeéar ago, it was handed to them with a paper ask-. ing for their signatures of approval They then began an investigation which led to taking the appeal from the ac- count. Attorney McGuire stated that at the time of Mrs. Bentley’s death in 1907, Mr. Geary was appointed administrator of her. estate and also administrator of her estate and also administrator - de bonus non of the estate of Mr. Bentley and was also gpnointed guardian of the children. He #ffirmed that Mr. Geary has never flied an account of his guar- dianship oveér the children nor as ad- ministrator de bonus non. Mr. McGuire said that upon investi- gation, the appellants had found that | large sums of money had gone Into Mr. Geary’s hands in varlous ways; that he had taken title to some property; that he had received , money from vessel shares, none of Which Tie has accounted for and the apvellants wanted to know whether these charges against the estatq are proper charges$. Attorney McGuire asserted that his | clients .had been handicapped in that books which had come into Geary's hands in 1907 are not in existence and that checks and other pavers have mot | been produced. Mr. Geary eclaiming that they have been eaten by rats. Attorney Waller declared toj the court that beginning in 1895 when Mr. Bent- ley died, Mr. Geary began making loans to the Bentley estate and these loans| continued_for several years until they totalled at least $40,000 and that in fact the estate is indebted to Mr. Geary and that mortgages gmentioned in the rea- sons of appeal® were assigned fo Mr. Geary as part payment for the loans. There was some question as to the exact nature of the reasons of appeal and it was agreed that they should be read. Attorney McGuire read the rea- sons of appeal, numbering 43. The complaint alleges that on Nov. 13, 1903, John C. Geary, as attorney~ and agent of the estate of Andrew J. Bent- ley, received assets from the adminis- tratrix, Mrs. Bentley, i the sum of| $50,000, which had been paid to the ad-| ministratrix by the New York, New Ha- ven & Hartford raflroad, as the pur- chase price for a tract of land belonging to the estate sltuated near Fort Neck in this city; that Mr. Geary knew the source of the money, that it had been paid as such purchase price and that it belonged to the Bentley estate and that, althopgh. Mr. Geary, in his account has charged the administratrix with the re- celpt of the money, yet it was not ex- pended by her but was delivered by her | to him and his account does not con- taln a statement of the receint of the sum by him nor does it contain a state- ment of the disposition of it nor any| payments therefrom and that he de- posited the money of the estate in his own checking account-in the New Lon- don City National bank, ¢ From the $50.000 so received by him. Mr. Geary on Nov. 16, 1903, withdrew the sum of $1,000 by check payable to himself, and on the same date he with- drew the further sum of $1.559, also by | check payable to himself, as agént and on Nov. 17, of the same vear, he with- drew the further sum of $3,000 by check payable to himself and on Dec. 8, 1903; he withdrew the further sum of $2.813, which he paid to L. Q. Raymond for the purchase price of land on Moore avenue, then conveved by Mr. Raymond to Mr. Geary. individually, and that Mr. Geary withdrew and pald further sums of money from the $50,000, the| amount of which is unknown to the ap-| pellants. It is claimed that tha account does mot contaln any statemen; of the transactions. Chargés are made that Mr. Geary ' col- lected large gums of money due to the estate from various debtors and retain- ed therefrom sums for -services rendered by him yet his account does not contain a statement of the money so retained and the amount and items are unknown to the appellants; that there were paid to him, out of the assets monovs to be used by him in paying claims of varlous creditors and that he retained from these sums, certain sums, the amount of which 1s unknown, which he claims rep- resented commissions which he charged the creditors for the collection of the sums and that the account does not con- tain a statement of the debts so pald, nor of ‘the sums, so retatned. The complaint sets forth that Atorney Geary's account whigh he filed should be disallowed because it does- not show what investments were made with mon- eys ‘of the estate nor does it show the amount of income or interest received therefrom or the increase received from} the money. It is claimed that the account is er- roneous and improper and should be dis- allowed for the reason that in 1910, about three years after Mrs. Bentley's death, Mr. Geary took as claimed assets Miss Sarah L. Tyler, are. guests for sev- eral days of Miss Lucas and Miss Mary C. Lucas of Sachem street.

Claim is made that' Mr. Geary’s ac- count is so involved that it cannot jbe understood or comprehended and it is unintelligible and is in ifhproper form. The claim is made that at the time of the death of Mr. Bentley, he was car- rying on a general wholesale and re- tail business known as the Columbia Steam Saw Mills Co. and from and af- ter the appointment and qualification of Mrs. Bentley as administratrix, she, un- der the guidance and direction of Mr. ry, carriel on the business and it appears from the account that the busi- ness was so carried on but the account does not show the receipts and expendi- tures of carrying on the business. Claim lg also made that the aceount should be rejected becauss it contains items of various sums in gross without proper items of explanation. It s alleged that the account should be disallowed because the item shrink- age on inventory is not explained in any way; because it doeg not show awy addition to the inventory, although ad- ditions to the inventory were made by reason of purchase made by the admin- istratrix after her appointment and qualification; because it contains an item, W. A. Foran, funeral expenses, $188.80, although the estate was not in- debted to W. A. Foran in that amount or in any amount for funeral expense bill; because the following items on the credit side are untrue: Sept. 5, 1902, paid P. and G. M. Williams, for release of mortgage dated January 12, 1901, for $1,000, §500; November 6, 1903, paid P. C. Dunford, adm. estate Mary Wil- liams Eggleston for release of mortgage $500; December 8, 1903, paid Savings Bank of New London, for release of mortgage, ‘$700,- and interest, $35, $735; February 9, 1904, paid = mortgage ' to Charles F. Potter, $2.500; July 3, 1905, paid Peleg Williams for release of mortgage dated December 24, 1830, $2,- 000; paid Mrs. Catrie B. Gerard for ac- count of Julia C. Bentley, June 3, 1896, $2,000; July 31, 1896, $1,537; October 31. 1896, $1,534; November 20, 1896, $1547; February 27, 1897, $1,560.21; April 30, 1897, $1,049.02, It is also claimed that the assets of the estate on hand at the time of Mrs. Bentley’s death were greatly in excess of the amount shown and that the amount {s unknown to the appellants. JURORS WILL, GET FOUR DOLLARS A DAY In accordance with a change that has been made in the tsate laws by the le- gislature the pay for jurors has’ been in- creased from $3 to $4 per day. An in- crease in the mileage for the Burors has also been made, so that instead of only receiving mileage one way for one day each week the jurors will receive mileage one way each day while doing duty. The changes will remove an objection that has been registered for years among many men who have been called upon to perform jury duty and who, under the former conditions, did the work at a sacrifice, as the remuneration was said to be much less than the men were aver- aging at their usual occupations. It is figured that the new arrangement will also bring about better results in the county as the higher- remuneration will, it is expected, result in the men selected acting when called upon, and it is figuzed that the number of -those wio seek excuSes from service will be greatly reduced. Because of the excuses from service that were allowed jurors in form- er years, the county was called upon to hand out a considerable amount. It ‘was pointed out today that under the form_ er conditions men would ask to be ex- cused from service for ome rcason or other and succeeding in being excused, they were allowed under the regulations to draw pay for the day summoned as well as tie mileage for one way. Cases were cited where men in this scctien were given these allowances without do- ing other than to make the trip to court. The expense incurred, including the ser- vice of the sheriff, the pay for the juror excused and the mileage, reached about $10: Under the changes brought about whereby an increase per dlem is allowed, together with the liberal tender of mile- age each day, it is figured that the num- ber of jurors who will seek excuses from doing service will be greatly reduced.
