L. w "a u huo AAodIy W. w executors
of the will of Mary Campbell Cuyler, and
Adelaide aartridge Wayne, widow of
Henry G. Wayne, and devisee under his will,
have begun a suit in the superior court for
relief, against Capt. Henry Blum, asking that
the title to 100 acres of land just west Of the
city which Capt. Blum bought from the
executors Of the will of John NJ Wayne in
1888, be set aside, and that the rents from
the property since it has been in Capt
Bluu's possession be returned to the Wayne
estate. Capt Blum paid $500 for the
property in November. 1888. and he now
values it at from fifty to seventy
five thousand dollars The claim
upon which the court is asked
to set aside the deed to Capt. Blum is that
while acting as agent for the executors OF
the Wayne estate he obtained the propert v
himself at price much below its value by
representations of the existence of incurn-
brances in behalf of the tenants, and by
other means, which, the heirs believe, jus
tify them in asking the courts to declare his
title void.
