Charlotte, Sept. 22—‘Squire A. W. McManus, 79-year-old veteran of the civil war and magistrate in Union county for the last 40 years, was declared by a jury of Mecklenburg county citizens today to be capable of attending to his affairs.
The decision was in the form of a finding by the jury that ‘Squire McManus was sane and that the allegations of his eight living children that he was incapable of managing his affairs were not sustained.
The hearing as to his sanity took place before James M. Yandle, clerk of Superior Court. It lasted two days.
