The testimony siren by William M.
Ladd this morning In the hearing of
tin petition of the heir of A. H. John
--on' estate to have Mr. Ladd ousted
as administrator "related to the charires
made by the faelre that claim of the
tat a a-greg-a ting- $14,00,6 iiad not been
. inciuoea oy air. utaa in nis inventory,
The contention was read by Attorney
, Llnthlcum, who asked Mr. Ladd to ex-
. plaln.1t. Mr. Ladd aald:
"When I came to make up the In
ventory of the estate I cot from Mr.
. Richard Williams, .attorney for the es
. tata. a list of the notes, accounts, stork
and real 'estate belonging to the A. H.
Johnson estate. - I - went through the
list with Mr. Williams and asked the
bookkeeper of the estate about them
' end listed tn my Inventory mil I thought
-It was possible to do "anything with."
A number of notes were produced by
Mr. Ladd, Some of which had been
drawn In 18S. i He picked - out' the
notes he had listed and mid the others
would .be aocounted for If It was ever
possible to collect anything on them,
- -"One of; the notes 7, thought might
! collected.- eaid Mr. Ladd, - "waa
drawn' by the Barnes .Heights A Cor
nell Mountain .Railway company for
11.000. This was appraised' as valuer
less." The '-company has since- failed.
Several of these notes that were not
Included In the Inventory ahad been re
turned to, Mr. Johnson .by . 'a Baa Fran
clsco 'collection agency, saying ' they
had been unable to collect .them."
Attorney Lrnthleum read from the
complaint the charge that Mr.-Ladd had
received a warrant of the city of Port
land for $550 belonging to the estate,
'which "had been appraised of no value,
and later sold for 1200. . " J
"There waa such a warrant," , aald
Mr. Ladd.- "I listed it In jny inven
tory and It was appraised as of no'
value, and as far as I could find It
had no value. Richard Williams, the es
tate's attorney, told me It could not be
collected. - Afterward Fred R. Strong
came to me and aald it waa like a lien
against some property owned by a Mr.
Jones, who wanted it and would give
me $200 for it. I gave Jones the war
rant for 1200 and credited the 1200 to
the estate. Mr.. Williams advised the
acceptance ' of the 1200 and I thought
it waa wise thing to take It, and
did so."
Mr. Ladd explained that he liad paid
7 per cent of the debts of the estate
and gave the .dates on which these divi
dends had been paid... He said the pay
ments applied not on the claims as
" originally filed with Mr Cordelia John
son, the executrix, bat as they, stood
In September, 1002, when, the first divi
dend waa paid. " '''
