13-Year-0ld Youth is Almost Dwarfed by. Huge Uprooted Tree ee Slocan River.

A word of: caution! This
story will make you angry. Or
maybe you will laugh, but it will
be humorless laughter and you
will probably slap your hand to
your brow. Maybe you will
throw the papér down to the
floor and just shake-your head,

Allright, 've warned you; *

So T'll begin.

It starts when James
Strickland of Chicago got killed
in a car accident in 1978, He
was 44, he left behind a family.

ft Would be Funny if it Weren't True:

Aftermath of Insurance Squabble

But Strickland isn't the story.

He also left behind an
insurance policy, and - that’s
what this is all about. -

The policy was for $45,500.
It was'to be split three ways
among his wife Valaria and two
‘sons, Richard, then 15,.and
‘David, then 11,

But a problem’ came’ up.

before the policy could be paid.

A daughter by a previous
marriage (now grown and mar-
vied) charged fraud in the
policy and said she should be

Among other water-saving
suggestions, collected by the

East Bay Municipal Utility Dis-~

trict from its employees are:

@ “Stop shaving. Men who.
grow beards can save from 1 to
20 gallons a. day.”

@ Cancel all out-of-state
visitors, including in-laws.

e “Put a rug in your
shower. When you have fin-
ished, haul the rug outside and
wring it over the’ flower beds.
‘This will encourage showering
with a friend, since-you'll need

“Also gives you a soft place
to stand, clean the rug, and
brings on interesting comments
from the neighbors.”

“Breed piranhas in the
bathtub, ib.” e

@ “Bathe your dog in your.

bath water. You not only save

+ water but also save soap. Take
your bath first, of course, un-
less your dog gets top priority

in your house.” ‘

+e “Scrape the condensa-
tion off your cocktail glass with
a rubber spatula, onto your

“house. plants. The amount of
‘water you save, of course,

depends on how many cocktails
you drink.”

So the case went-to court.

Mrs. Strickland got herself
a lawyer, and also a lawyer to
represent her two sons,

It ‘would seem a simple
enough matter to clear up. If
the daughter had evidence of
‘fraud, she could present it. If

“not, the case should be tossed.

out.

But Judge Donald O'Brien
decided that there was another
problem that should be taken
care of first.

He didn't think enough
lawyers were involved. He
wanted each of the sons to have
a lawyer.

Mrs, Strickland objected.
She is no dummy. She knows.
that the more lawyers there
are, the faster money disap-
pears. So she and her lawyer
objgcted.

the two little boys could not
trust each other,.or their own
mother. So he wanted them to
have somebody they could
oj feel levers he would pick
for thet

: Wasn't that thoughtful of
him? .
So he found lawyers for
both boys. One of them was
state representative Michael
Madigan, a powerful South Side
politician who is very close to
the ‘family of Mayor Richard
Daley.

That just, shows what a
small world, we live in. Judge
O'Brien used to be a. state
legislator, a powerful South
Side politician, and was close to

Anyway, the legal battle

d began, No, not the battle over

who gets the insurance money.
That didn't come until years

* later.

The real battle. was over
“whether the boys could have
lawyers’ picked by Judge o:
Brien.

It finally wound up in athe
state Supreme Court, where
another group of judges—most
of them former Chicago politi-
cians—decided that the boys
needed those lawyers.”

‘This took so long that the
actual case wasn't settled until
recently,

‘+> At last they got down to
the question of who should get
the insurance money.

Here is how it stands as of
now. Remember the widow and
two sons-were each to receive
$16,833 from the policy,

e Mrs, Strickland wound
up with $10,086'after her share

of court costs and her legal fees.

e Richard, the eldest son,
ended up with $8,697. Actually.
he was lucky, since he turned
18 during the case and got rid of
his court-appointed lawyer.

e And David? Well, that
hasn't been decided yet, but it
is possible that David will wind
up not only broke, but'in debt.

That's right. David's court-
appointed lawyer has syb-
mitted a bill-for $12,400.

So, after paying his. share
ier lef
sotiple ‘of
thousand ‘iar the’ hole.”

It's remarkable when ‘you
consider what he got for his
money.

Judge O'Brien said David

‘needed a lawyer to look out for
his interests.

The lawyer O'Brien picked

‘was so eager to look out for

David's interest that he spent
most’ of his time in this case
presenting legal arguments as
to why he should be permitted
ito do so,

Now, having won the fight |

‘to look out for David, he has
submitted a bill that would
wipe the kid out completely.

If that’s what it's like
having Lawyer Madigan | on
‘your .side, imagine what .it
,would be like if he was against!

out

Judge 0' ‘Brien must approve all’
fees. So maybe he will decide
that Mr. Madigan should. get
less. On the other hand, he can
give him more, too:
