managed the estate, and should be removed as executor. The court is asked to revoke the letters
testamentary, and to order the taking out of letters of administration pendente lite. John T. Ensor

MURPHY, MICHAEL
the estate of Michael Murphy, who died at Govanstown in 18(looks like 88), seems to be in
somewhat mixed condition. Mr. Murphy, when he died, left a widow, Mrs. Ann Murphy. At the time
of his death he had several thousand dollars deposited in the Metropolitan Savings Bank, payable
to himself, or to his wife on demand. After the death of Mr. Murphy the money was transferred to
his wife's name. She died in December, 18??, leaving a will, in which Bernard C. Reed, of
Govanstown, was made executor and residuary legatee. A caveat to the will was filed by John
Lacey, of
Waverly, a brother of Ann Murphy, to contest its validity. The issues in the case were sent by the
Orphans' Court to the Circuit Court for trial. Mr. Reed has removed the case to the Circuit Court
for Harford county. No letters have been taken out on the estate of Michael Murphy until
Wedesday, when the Orphans' Court of this county granted letters of administration to James
Kelley, of Towsontown, and John Murphy, of Darlington, Harford county, a brother of the
deceased. The administrators claim that all the money deposited in the bank in Mr. Murphy's
name, which was on deposit at the time of his death, together with all the accrued dividends,
belonging to the estate.
Mr. C. C. Shriver, president of the Metropolitan Savings Bank of Baltimore city, was somewhat
surprised Wednesday by a demand made upon the bank for several thousand dollars, which the
bank officials contend they are not required to pay. The demand was made by Mr. James Kelley,
who was accompanied b his counsel, James J. Lindsay. Mr. Lindsay says he will docket suit against
the bank for the amount claimed in this suit a question will be involved which is of much interest to
depositors in savings banks. When the demand was made Wednesday President Schriver said that
all the money deposited in the bank to the credit of Michael Murphy and wife had been drawn out
by Mrs. Murphy after the death of her husband, or by Mr. Reed, her executor, after death. The
administrators claim that the bank had no right
to pay the money to either Mrs. Murphy or Reed. The amount claimed is about $3,300. The heirs
are John Murphy, Mrs. Ellen Doyle, Mrs. Elizabeth Bryan and Owen J. Murphy. Messrs. James J.
Lindsay and John S. Ensor are the counsel of the administrators. The Fidelity and Deposit Company
are Mr. Reed's surety.

In the matter of Elinor L. Nantz vs. Wm. H. Buck, Jr., administrator of John Nantz, deceased,
wherein the plaintiff alleges that $700 of Cockeysville National Bank stock was wrongfully charged
to her account as beneficiary of the deceased's estate, the Orphans' Court last week issued a nisi
order giving the defendant until June 11th to show cause why the order of the court passing the
administrator's account should not be rescinded. The defendant claims to be able to show that Mrs.
Nantz, who is the relict of John Nantz, received the stock in question, and that the administrators
course was in all respects proper. The publication in THE DEMOCRAT last week that the court had
already rescinded the order passing the administrator's account was incorrect.

other things, that she did not purchase seven shares of stock of the National Bank of Cockeysville
referred to in said petition as belonging to the estate of said deceased, which said administrator
transferred to her. Mr. Buck avers in his answer that she not only purchased and paid for the said

valued at $12,000 to $16,000; that she had been sick for two years before her death, which

REESE, THOMAS L.
In the equity case of Cornelia S. Reese and Benjamin Kurtz, administrators of Thomas L.
Reese, against George H. Sargant, mortgagee, and Henry Reese and wife, answers have been
filed in Court here to the bill of complaint. The plaintiffs are creditor of Henry Reese in the sum of
$7,407.06, and seek satisfaction of their debt by a sale of the Lakeside estate at Lakewood station,
Baltimore county. They charge that an absolute deed of the property by Mr. Reese in 1875 to the
late Samuel Miller, of Alexandria, VA., made upon the stated consideration of $10,000, was in fact
a mortgage for $7,000, and that both this deed and the reconveyance ten years later by Mr. Miller
s executor to Mrs. Reese were for simulated consideration and in fraud of the rights of Mr. Reese s
creditors. Messrs. Price & Steuart, solicitors for Mr. And Mrs. Reese, deny in the answer to the bill
all charges of fraud, and allege that since the failure of Mr. Reese s firm in 1876 and the release
from the copartnership creditors, in which Thomas L. Reese himself united. Henry Reese has
always been able to pay and has paid all of his debts in full. Mr. Sargeant s answer is signed by
Messrs. Schmucker & Whitelock and Randolph M. Isaac, solicitors, who are counsel for the
company which insured the title. It avers that Mr. Sargeant relied entirely upon the public records
for evidence of the true nature of the title, and having had no knowledge of the matters outside of
the records which are set up in the bill, cannot be prejudiced by them. –– Baltimore County
