An appropriation of approximately 200 will be appropriated by the -Wayne county council for the defense of the murderer in accordance with the state statutes. The pauper attorney does not have to defend a person charged with murder nor is he compelled to defend a person if the case is venued to another county,

CHURCH GIVEN $100

The will of the late Eliza Veregge, which was made in 1906 to which a codicil was made the following year was probated in open court this morning before Judge Fox.

To the Trinity Lutheran church the sum of $100 is given. To Anna Veregge, wife of ' er son, John H. Veregge, a gold watch was given. Other personal property including a silk shawl were given to her daughter Mrs. Ida Minnerman. At the time the will probated was made Mrs. Veregge owned $2,500 worth of stock which was sold after the will was propounded. From the stock, which was preferred stock of Gaar, Scott and company, $12,500 was realized. Fifty shares or preferred stock together with 106 shares of common stock in the Rumely company were purchased as well as $5,500 worth of road bonds. The aggregate of the estate is approximately $22,000. According to one item of the will, the income of the stock which was sold after the will was drawn, was to be divided equally among her three children John H.
