He and his two brothers drew wages. Arthu: , was the business manager. He remembered Arthur's suggestion that his mother should alter the wording of her will, as lie said the business would otherwise go to the girls. Harrj' said, "That's all right. We can trust the girls; we've got the business." The will was not altered. Witness described the proceedings at the lawyer's oflice over fhe transfer of the Grahame-street property to Henry. The matter was arranged by Henry with the girls. He did not know that he was coupled as an executor in an application at the Supreme Court for an order authorising the sale. He had no knowledge of any such application. He signed the papers at the lawyer's office because he put unlimited trust in Harry.
