In the Matter of the Accounting of Frederick J. Greifenstein et al., as Executors of Frank Roos, Deceased, Appellants. Rosa Roos et al., Respondents.
    (Submitted October 1, 1917;
    decided October 16, 1917.)
    
      Matter of Greifenstein, 174 App. Div. 891, affirmed.
    Appeal from an order of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the second judicial department, entered June 23, 1916, which affirmed three decrees of the Kings County Surrogate’s Court, first, surcharging the accounts of the executors of Frank Roos, deceased; second, removing them as executors, and third, removing them as testamentary guardians. The grounds for the removal of the executors as such and the revocation of their letters testamentary and as testamentary guardians, were that they were guilty of wasting the estate in neglecting to foreclose a second mortgage, and in not having a receiver of the rents appointed before a receiver was appointed in a first mortgage foreclosure which extinguished the second mortgage.
    
      Franklin P. Trautmann for appellants.
    
      Charles W. Froessel and Joseph A. Keenan for respondents.
   Order affirmed, with costs; no opinion.
