Mentatlly }Uness. How was that diagnosed?Who said so?Did you have a doctor? Yes. 'Wllat'were his ac~ions tha t causedyou to consult the physician? They brought Ed home from the mine in 1966 of December.The mep. that had brou ght Ed home had told me to take Ed to the doctor right away.And I did take him to the doctor.He said that Ed was me.ntal y ill and he had to be in the hospital. Q Was he working that day? A Yes.he was. 11 C}J Had you noticed any difference in him at that time from what he generally appeared to be before that time? A Yes. Q What was that?What difference did you note? A 0(z ,~..I>-mz·zQbIDo i 0l-I!)z~ACl:.~ ti Q ii:I-mii A ..I0( UiiQ::l., % t:A(II aiIt:bII-It:0.II.~Q I-~It:::l0U ..I0(U Aii:II.0 Q It was little things.Sometimes he didn't know what he was saying. He WJ uld just,like be little th ings that would be that he didn't do before.. .,.,J .• .When he was brought hom from the mine,was he at that time brougl t in walking or was he carried in!'or just how? They brought him home in a car. But he was walking witl:Jx:Lrel,IJ,.::??. Well,these men.helped him.He was like staggering. Then what did you do then? I called the'Centerville Clinic and made an appointment with Dr.R~.do and he said tohave Ed out there about 7:00 o'd.:cck. So then after he went to the Clinic was that when it was decided that he should go to Torrance? Yes,it was decided. Do you understand,Mrs.Furman,that ff t he Court appoints you as the guardian of yourhusband's estate that you will have to keep a detailed account of all the monies that you receive and all the monies that you spend,because they are all his mO,nies and you hav:> to keep an accounting of that.And the mere fact that you ha\V83a lar!e family and that your .husband is re~(jnsible for keeping that family e .. J2ne and/ussresponsible for l<eeping you,that does not get rid of the requirement that you keep accounts.You still have to do so becausE regardless of you r duties and you are looking after all of the se children,we can't assume in the law that all the monies that you receive on your husband's account are required to keep those chileren and required to keep yourself.I don't know whether 53'0,1111 understand me.or not.Regardless of the fact that you are working yourself ane maldng some financial tontribution to keeping the family and regare- less of t.~e fact that it may appear at the present time that you not only need your husband's money,all of his money and even the money thatY0]J earn to keep yourself and your family,that still doesiJi:'bbb::'llilate the requirements of keeping books.Becaus e we don t know when'that is going to change in the future.And it might reaili:;lv be thatyou might take in more money fnom your husband's estate than what is required to keep your children and yourself.So the law requires you to keep books of the money you take in and the m<ney that you expend and lateron,report that to the Court when it is re- quired.Do you understand that? Yes. Do you feel that you can do that? Have you ever kept any kind of books in your lifetime? Yes,I have.I do keep account of the money that I send to the Torrance State Hospital to the V.A.Hospital now.I do keep a recc rd of everything that is going out. But you don't keep a record of your expenditures to keep your famil~ though,do you? No. Well,I have pointed out to you that we cannot assume that the mone that you get from thes e various sou rces is less than what you need to keep your family and that you have to supplement that by your own money.We can't assume that.The books have to show it. Yes. Can 'you keep books to show your various expenditures? Yes. I won't'say that you have to show the expenditures everyday.That .wouldn't be required.But you'd have to show your expenditures ove r .a period of time so that all expen~:H.llil<'eS8 there would be shown. 13 I .and noted in your accounts.It's very easy to note on one side of the ledger what you get in because there a:re..H:l1J}iy four or five items there.That's what you would get each month.So you put those down. But it's much more difficult to keep a running account of all the expenses of maintai ning yourself and the child~en and the home ove a period of time..Do you understand that? Yes. Do you feel thatyou can'do it? Yes. The Court is required to place you under bond to do that.You knoVi -------------------:.--------, 14 what:a bond is,don't you? A I've heard of it. Q .-vi . 0:IIII-0:o11.'III0: I-0::loU .Ic( ij ii:II.o Well,you have an idea of what it is.Somebody or some corporatior goes your bond,depending on what the Court requires,and your bond siI1ply states that if there are any losses shown by your accounts,that the bondsman would have to make it good.That's what a bond is.You have heard of people being under bond,haven't you? Yes. :Well,there are two types of bonds.When a person rommits a cr.:iminal act and he has to be bonded,someone goes his bond.That sim ply is for the purpoS e of providing that he will appear at the tim~ that his case is called in Court.After he appears in Court,if some- body went a bond for him for $5,000 that's the end of it.There is no obligation on that bond.But this type of a bond is not an appearaflce bond.This type of a bond guarantees that your accounts will be proper.And if there is any loss shown,the bondsman has to pay it.That's the type of a bond that you will be required to post by th s Court.Do you understand that? .', A Yes. Q Do you still want the job? A Well,I have to take care of the legal matters at home.There's no one else to do it.. Q Well,with respect to your remark that you have to take care of the legal matters,that may be so.But when the Court appoints an ,----,---------n-------------------------------------- individual as a guardian that individual doesn'tjjl¥1st take care of the so-called legal matte~S'.That individual takes care of everything that has to be cared for with respect to the incompetent.It isn't just the legal matters.It isn't just fixing up your cellar as you 15 , e :!:z0(>....>-IIIZZIIIII. i0I-IIIZ iIII0(~...:0ii:l-.III•Q ....0(a ce-~::l.., :t~(\I vilI:IIIl-ll:0II.IIIlI: ~Q::l00 ....00(aii:II.0.e A Q spoke of inyour testimony.It's what I said.You are responsible for the entire administration of the estate,all the monies that you get in,and all the monies that you expend;not only for so-called legal matters,but for upkeep of your family,maintenance of yoursE 1£ and your family.So you can't go out and buy a hundred dollars of clothing for you r children and not report it on your accounts.If yOl are using money which comes from your husband's affairs in his estate. Do you want to talk with you r attorney? (At the direction of the Court,off-the-record discussion was not '" recorded by the stenographer). Mrs.Furman,do you feel with respect to the bookkeeping that the Cou rt has mentioned that you will be able to keep proper accounts and will be able to keep them in shape to submit them to the Court when required? y .es,SIr. That's all the questions we have of Mrs.Furman. THE COURT: MR.YABLONSKI: Will you present that Affidavit. I'd like to present the Affidavit of Dr.Saul THE COURT:The Affidavit of Dr.Saul Greizman at Torrance 16 ~tate Hospital is received in evidence and made part of th is record And we note in the said Affidavit in paragraph six that it is stated "That the prognosis fpr his recovery is not very favorable since e ~z 0(>oJ>01 Z ZIIIII. i 0I-ClziUI0(~ ..=u~I-UIQeoJ0(U Q::l"'I :t t:-til" Edward F.Furman had been previously hos pitalized,showed im- provement but he became ill in the Fall of 1966 and was hospitalize at the Veterans Administration Hospital,Leech Farm Road and later was also at the Waynesburg Hospital and the Brownsville Hospital,and since he has been here he has shown only mild improvement in his condition.11 (At the atlirection of the Court,off-the-record discussion was not recorded by the stenographer).
