MISS HASTINGS IS
NOT COMPETENT
Dr. McGettigan Says She Is
Unable to Manage Her
Large Estate
"Miss Hastings, at the age of 25, has
the mind of a girl of 14 or 15. Sh,<s ; is
mentally competent to conduct her af
i fairs of daily life — to dress herself,
] walk about unattended and conduct her
! household — but she is not competent to
j manage the affairs of a large estate. :
j Sn»"3 is "able to feel keenly, however, thei
! stigma of incompetency placed on hen
Iby the court, and I recommend . as a
; physician that this stigma be removed
| to prevent her complete mental break-
I down."
In .'these words Dr. Charles D. Me- i
j Gettigan, member of tlvi state lunacy :
! commission, who was appointed by j
I Judge Graham to examine Miss Eliza
! beth Hastings, gave testimony yester
day which scored heavily for the young
woman's relatives who are opposing a
suit to hav^s her declared competent, for
! the purpose, they allege of saving the
i girl from the guardianship of her step
j father, James W. Daniel). ;i
A second strong point was also
! gained when the case was continued to
j May 15' in order that the testimony of
j Harry Hastings, the girl's brother, may
then Us heard. Toung Hastings will be
of age May 1, and, it is said, will fur
nish, evidence of the dissipation of th#
Hastings estate, which yields an income
of $1,000 a month.
LIFE AT LADVMEDE
The hearing yesterday was brief, the
feature being the testimony given by
Dr. McGettigan. James Abbott, a but
ler employed by Danlell at the Hast
ings country home in England, known
as Ladymede, testified as to the daily
life of Miss Hastings while theiv>. He
created much amusement In the court
room by his British mannerisms, relat
ing details with the most minute par
ticularity, but when he rambled into
discussion of the love affairs of young
Harry Hastings he was checked by one
of the attorneys, who said he believed
they had had enough "kitchen; gossip."
Dr. McGettigan said he. had made
four examinations of Miss Hastings,
one to determine her physical condition
and three to test her mentality.'- He.
said It was necessary for him^to go
back to the time of: her birth to ex
plain the cause of her affliction, and
said that she-had been from her birth
the victim of the disease, infantine
cerobral menicffltis. This disease al
ways affected the mentality of the suf
ferer, and' in three degrees — Idiocy, im
becility and backwardness.
HAS JIIKD OP A GIRL \
"Backwardness is the degree of Miss
Hastings' mental state," said Dr.' Mc-
Gettigan. "At the age of 25 she has
the mind of a girl of 14 or 16. She has
suffered a ewat deal and has borne up
bravely, and latterly, she has been able
keenly to realize the stigma of incom
petence placed on her by the court.
This has affected her deeply, and I rec
ommend, as a physician, that this stig
ma be removed to prevent her 'com
plete mental breakdown.' Shells able
to manage th/» affairs _pf her daily life,
but I should say that she -is. unable to
conduct a large estate."
Dr.McGettigan.oaid that Miss Hast
ings' mental condition would improve
constantly, and that ho believed' that in
the course of years she would b.s fully
capable of exercising all*, her/faculties.
Butler James Abbott, in his. testi
mony, told of a remark jnado.by the
late Mrs. Danlell. mother %C Miss Hast
ings and stepdaughter of Rev. Dr.
Hemphlll of Calvary church of this city.
"She «ald." testified Abbott, "that she
honed- to God her daughter Elizabeth
would never fall „ into the clutches of
Dr. John Hemphill or any of his kin."
Dr. Hemphiir.was in the courtroom,
facing the witness," and his. face red
dened with • vexation. . .: '

RECOVERY TO CUTICURA
"In 1884" my grandson, a babe, had
an attack of , eczema , and after trying
the doctors to the
extent of heavy
bills and an in-
crease of . the dis-
ease and Buffering,
I recommended Cu-
ticura and in a few
weeks the child was
well. Ho is to-day
a strong man and
absolutely free
from the disease.
A few years ago I
contracted eczema,
„ , and became an in-
tense fufierer. : .. A whole winter passed
without once ij having " on shoes, my
ankle 3 and nearly from the knees to the
toes being covered with virulent sores. I
tried practitioners, specialists, dennatolr
ogista.etc, to no purpose. My daughter-
in-law reminded me of having pre«;ribed
Cuticura -t or miy grandson more than
twenty years ago. I at ence procured
the Cutioura Remedies and found im-
mediate improvement- and final cure,
till to-day, though well along in years,
I am as though I had never had that
disease. lam well known in the vicin-
ity of Louisville and Cincinnati, and all
this j could be I verified by witnesses.
