DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR. INDIANA

SUSTAINS (Coot. From Psge One) this paragraph which brought the court's ruling to sustain. Before reading his opinion. Judge Parrish said that it was his opinion that the cause had two important factors; the appointment of guardians in general and the law of agency, chiefly [tower of attorney. The court held also that the Jurisdiction of the proper court to appoint a guardian was wide in scope and could cover any case of mental unsoundness. In closing the court stated: "It is therefore the opinion of this court that the power of attorney remains in full force and effect until it is revoked by the principal or is suspended by the principal's death. This power of attorney is also in full force and effect until the principal's mental in-1 capacity has been determined. If the principal Is found to be mentally incompetent. It is the opinion of this court that the power of attorney would be suspended by operation of law. Because of these reasons it is the opinion of the court that the power of attorney set up in the second affirmative paragraph of the answer of the defendant does not state facts suffice nt to constitute a cause of defense and that demurrer to the second paragraph of answer be sustained. The ruling cited several decisions and opinions on which Judge Parrish based his own opinion. Attorneys In the cause stated that the next step would be to hold a hearing to determine if there was sufficient cause to necessitate the appointment of a guardian. In early England. Christmaa was called 'Christes Mease.** which means "Christ's mass."
