GEARY’S TESTIMONY Attorney John C. Geary finished' his testimony Thursday morning in . New London in the hearing on the appeal from probate by the Bentley heirs of his accounts as agent for Mrs. Julia C. Bentley, administratrix of the estate of her husband, the late Andrew J. Bentley. Mr. Geary has been testifving since the first day of the hearing, which was start- ed about a month and a half ago. His testimony Thursday morning con- cerned an item of $4,000 on the credit side of his account, an item of interest of $500 and four items of money which he received from‘ Mrs. Bentley. The questioning by Attorney H. A. Hull, who was examining Mr. Geary, brought forth heated discussion between witness and counsel. The hearing bezan with Attorney Hull asking Mr. Geary as to whether the item of $4,000 on the account included fee for services from 1903 to 1907, to which the witness replied that it did. “Do you recopllect saying that the item contained nothing for services asked Attorney Hull, ‘and your replying on ‘Wednesday afternoon that the notes will show 7" “I did not say just that” was the re- ply. “Well, substantially that,” replied Ma- jor Hull. Attorney Hull read from the notes of previous testimony in which Mr. Geary testified that the item in question did not embrace services. Mr. Geary stated that the amount rep- resented advances made to the estate by him from:-time to time between 1303 and 1907. “Do. you remember testifying three times in previous testimony that the amount did not include fees for ser- vices?" asked Major Hull. “I don’t know how many gimes T said it,” was the reply. “But that does not change the figures. “I don't ask vou that. T asked if you Temember saving at least three times in previous testimony that the item did not include fees for services. You remember tha® testimony, don't you?" asked Major Hull. “Of course, the notes speak for themselves,” said he, be- fore Mr. CGeary answered. Attorn Hull asked Mr. Geary con- cerning an item of interest of $500. you mot state in previous testimony that You had not computed interest?” in- quired Attorney Hull. - “I did not,” was the reply. Attorney Hull read from official notes of previous testimony and there followed an argument between the witness and Attorney Hull as to the construction of the testimony while Attorney Hull was reading Mr. Geary frequently interrupt- ed, with “Go on, zo on.” “I am going on, all right” jor Hull. “T'll read it ‘Go ore read it,” returned Mr. Geary. Mr. Hull read testimony to the effect that Mr. Geary, testifying several days ago said that he had not computed the interest at all. “I meant the interest due me,” stat- ed the witness. “Oh, no, that isn't what you meant,” declared Attorney Hull. “Oh, yes,” insisted Mr. Geary. Attorney Hull then called the atten- tion of 'the witness to four items of $300. $450, $432.12 and 5352 and inquired of the witness if th(® amou~ts were trans- ferred to him by Mrs. Beutley in settle- ment for services. “They were not,” replied Mr. Geary. “They were for checks which I gave her.” “All four?” asked Major Hull “No, you know better than that,” hot- ly returned the witness. “Only one was a transfer.” replied M “What was that for,” asked Attorney | Hull. “It was to reduce the indebtedness of | the estate to me,” was the answer. “That transer was made to me a few days after I had called Mrs. Bentley's atten- tion to the fact that the estate was get- For ltching Eczema, Old Sores and “I guarantee my ointmeént,” says Peterson of Buffalo, “to cure éczema; to stop the nchinf at once, and any reliable druggist will cheerfully refund your money if PETERSON'S OINT- MI?IN%‘ doesn’t do everything I say it will do.” ‘William A, Carley of Franklin, N. f is surely a wise man. He writes: “I used PETERSON'S OINTMENT on a little bufv suffering terribly ~with eczema. It did the work.” Then there is Alex.

Attorney Hull showed Mr. Geary a bank book belonging to Mrs. Bentley, showing the transfer sizned by Mrs. Bentley. He asked Mr. Geary in whose custody the book was hefore the transfer was made and he replied that it had been in MMrs. Bentley's custody. “If Mrs. Bentley wanted money, why didn’t she draw- it? Why was it neces- sary for her to give vou orders for the money?” he was asked. “I don’t know why, uniess it was be- cause she wanted my check to send away. But, any way, that's the way it was done,” said thn witness. The witness was asked about the withdrawal by Mrs. Bentley of $198.61 from the bank in October, 1906, and who got the money. don’t know who re- ceived it,” was the reply. He was asked abrut a withdrawal of 250 in June of the same year. “That was Mry. Bentley’s bank book and I had no knowledge of her with- drawals,” Attorney Geary asserted. After testifying briefly as tq whether the vessel property of the estate had been reappraised, Attorney Hull said that he was through with the witness. C.

He said that he had no knowl- edgze of the whereabouts of the books although he had searched his house and office and had been unable to find them. The witness testified that when he received the hooks they were incomplete and that he did a lot of posting in them in order to make out a balance sheet and schedule.
