Geary explained a demosit of $2,458.33 which he was una- ble to account for last week at the hearing on the Bentley appeal from probate of Mr. Geary's account as agent for Mrs. Julia C. Bentley, administra- trix of the estate of her husband, the late Andrew J. Bentley, before Judge Milton Shumway in New London Tues- day morning. Mr. Geary said thay after the hearing Tuesday at which hé was asked to expain the deposit and was unable to, he recalled what the de- vosit was. He said it was the discount on anote for $2.500 eigned by him as trustee of the estate of Alexander S. Palmer of Stonington. Mr. Geary was also questioned about {several amounts and items which the {appellants clatm are not in Mr. Geary's Wccount and which should have been kredited to the estate.. He was asked about am item of $210 on June 3, 1396, purporting to be Interest on a mortzage given by Jared Watrous. The witness said that the amount had nothing to do ®ith a mortgage but that it was a set- tlement of a clatm for $700 which the estate had agalnst Watrous. Mr. Wat- rous’ estate was declared insolvent at his death and the c'alm was settled for 00 per cent. which would give the @mount. “That's my recollection of #hat” sald Mr. Geary. In his explana- tion of this jtem, Attorney Geary sald that ‘I wouldm’t know anything about the affalrs of the Bentley estate In the early daye It was mot until 1887 and 11898 that I became conversant with the @ffairs of the estate, after it had be- Eun to borrow money.” Mr. Geary was asked about an item bf $850 appearing on the back of an £nvelope containing ealculations regard- ing momey of the Bentley estata from hich, it Is claimed, that one of the ex- hibits introduced in the hearing, was made. Attorney Geary denied that the figures in the exhibit which shows a balance of $9,086 due Mr. Geary at the time the Bentlev estate so'd s {Plant at Fort Neok to the New Haven road for $50,000 were based upon the figures on the back of the envelope. Mr. Geary was asked to explain what the $850 was and why it was not in- cluded in the exhibit. and he declared tha he did not recafl what the mon-- was, Whether it was a sinkel item § Wwhether it was a total of several iten He admitted that the figures ware in hi: handwriting, but he was unable to state what the amount was for. In answer to a question' regarding statements of accounts introduced in the hearing, Mr. Geary said that they were llwm'plle‘;i !hmm memoranda of Mrs. Bent- ey and himself. Mr. Geary admitted that Mrs. Bentley had eease;yto have a checking account and did not keep books after Det. 17, 1302, while # is claimed that the statements in question were of transactions after that date. % ‘‘What memorangn did Mrs. Bentley have from which tfie statements could have been made after she closed her checking account?” asked Attorney Hull “You'll nev€r find out from me, be. cause I don’t know,” answered Mr. Geary, On being pressed for some idea as to the nature of the memoranda used by Mrs. Bentley, Atterney Geary replied: ‘I am not going to give you a word plo- ture of this thing. I have told you re- peatedly that I don't know, ¥ “I am asking the question faith,” said Attorney Hull “You are asking the impossible and the unreasonable,” declared the twitness, Mr. Geary was then asked about {he release of a mortgage given by George Elliott in 1895, of which Mr. Geary said he had no recolection. “Understand, major,” answered Mr, Geary, “every transaction they had did not pass through my hands.” Attorney Hull asked him about the re- lease of an attachment of $600 on May 15, 1899, which was claimed not to be In the account. “I don't recollect it sald Mr. Geary, ‘but if it was paid fo me it has been accounted fer. There is no question about that. I should say, however, that the money was probably Paid at the mill, which accounts for credits regarding transactions on state- ments made by Willlam Oliver, book- keeper at the mill” ., The witness’ attention was called to an item of the release of a mechanics’ lien by James Wilkinson in 1898, to which Mr. Geary replied that he never recoived the money, which was prebably paid at the mill office. Attorney Geary said that he had undoubtedly placed and releasea several mechanics’ liens and attachments, I never handled the Wilkinson meone; he said. Are you sure? inquired Major Hull, T am as sure as I am af anything." He was asked about the release of liens of AMfred G. M. Whipnle, Albert C.
