ICKETS "KEEP MOVING"
Oregon City's Chief Enforces Law
Against Obstruction of Highway.
Mrs. Xarifa Ealing's clarity of mind,
her quickness of wit and repartee and
her ability to drive a sharp bargain
were testified to yesterday afternoon
by H. N. Scott, or the "Victor Land Com
pany, when he was called as a witness
In the contest over the will in which
she bequeathed the bulk of her t600,000
estate to Thomas X. Strong, her attor
ney, and C. L. Mead, a friend.
Mr. Scott's acquaintance with Mrs.
Faling embraced a period of 12 years
including 1915, the year in which she
made her will and the year in which
the attorneys who are trying to break
the will point to as the one in which
she began to decline mentally.
Mrs. Fnllnx'i Mind Alert.
The witness testified tnat he not only
found Mrs. Faling alert mentally, but
unusually combative in standing up for
her rights and particularly dominating
in all affairs which concerned her. He
raid his business dealings with Mrs.
Ealing were frequent and numerous
and that hisr opinion regarding her was
formed after close observation.
The case was lifted out of the ordi
nary legal routine yesterday morning,
when Mrs. Georgia Hoss took the stand
and told how Mrs. Faling helped her
along financially and encouraged her
with words of cheer and advice. There
was such a wistful strain of tenderness
in the little woman's story about this
assistance that the lawyers, for a time,
forgot and cast aside the legal tedium
usually injected in such cases and lis
tened raptly to her narrative of heart
Interest.
i Mtm. Hoss) Recounts Dealings.
Mrs. Hoss came here from Montana
with an ailing husband and six help
less children on her hands, the oldest
being 14 and the youngest 4 months.
Her worldly goods consisted of $1000
which she and her husband realized
from their Montana holdings. This she
invested in the home at 891 East Main
street under an agreement to pay the
balance in monthly installments of
$37.50.. She had met Mrs. Clara Waldo
at the Sargent Hotel, where Mrs. Fal
lng was then staying.
Mr. Hoss told Mrs. Waldo that the
monthly installments had become a
, burden beyond her earning capacity.
"1 know a woman who will help you
along, Mrs. aldo informed her. Mrs.
Faling then came Into Mrs. Hoss' life.
She lent the woman who had become
a victim of misfortune money enough
to pay for the home outright, retaining
a note and a mortgage as security
Mrs. Hoss was to pay Mrs. Faling back
In monthly installments of $27.50.
Benefactor Spreads Cheer.
"If circumstances press you too hard
I'll not foreclose on your home," were
the words of cheer which Mrs. Hoss
said Mrs. Faling used, "Never mind
you'll get along in spite of your trou
bles. and soon your boys will be big
enough to help you," Mrs. Faling con
tinued, accordin to Mrs. Hoss.
From that time on Mrs. Faling vir
tually conducted Mrs. Hoss' business
affairs, and she did so with such sat
isfactory results that Mrs. Hoss re
marked to her one day:
"I'd rather have you leave me your
brains than all your money, Mrs. Fal
lng."-
"She was as keen and shrewd :
woman as the late Hetty Green was
credited with being, and she did not
have the constant hardness of hear
which is said to have been a trait o
Mrs. Green," asserted Mrs. Hoss. .
Mrs. Hoss' acquaintance with Mrs
Faling embraced a period from 190
until 1917, the year of Mrs. Faling's
death.
Mr. Burnett Is Overruled.
Yesterday Judge Tazwell overruled a
motion of Attorney Coy Burnett to
force Mrs. -Etna Chattin-Fuller, Mrs
Faling's trained nurse, to submit six
specimen letters of her handwriting
while a witness for the beneficiaries.
Sustaining Attorney John F. Logan
Judge Tazwell ruled that Mr. Burnett
would have to recall Mrs. Fuller as
his own witness and be bound by th
results. Mr. Burnett said he wanted
such 'writing to prove that Us letters
were formed almost exactly like th
letters made by tho hand which Mr.
Burnett contends guided Mrs. Faling
hand when she signed the will. Mr.
Burnett informed the court that th
signature on the will was much large
