character OF prominent member Of one OF
tho old Georgia families, was settled to-day
and will not now come TO trial In court Ie
was the suit OF the CAPITAL City Bank
against II. J. Lamar, which sought to re-
strain him from getting possession
Of the s. s. 3. Company stock
frn'9 p W Rsnsu sai '''ssf When of til. the sama ns
istrator's sale of the Rankin estate took
place the Swifs Specific stock was bought
by Col. II. j. Lamar. The estate owed the
Capital City Bank 500, ,000 and the bank
tried to get the stock. The day before the
sale the bank officers conferred with Mr..
Lamar, as administrator, TO find out, if
possible, the value OF the stock. He stated
that it was worth the amount which it was
APPRAISED at, $l0,00 Tho administrators
failed to disclose the real value Of the stock,
and presented a statement which showed q
loss Of about $50, 900 in fifteen months by
the s. 8. s. Company.

istrators to furnish the real value of the
stock, and the statement made by Mr..
Lamar, tho bank abandoned it's purpose to-
bid SCI, ,0000 for the stock. at the sale Of the
stock an officer of the bank, despite the dis
couragement as TO the value of the stock,
bid 5000, when 1t was knocked down to
Mr. Lamar. After the sale Mr.. Lamar
stated the to officer OF the bank, 10
is alleged, that the stock was
worth $4,000 and that he was prepared
TO bid that much to secure it. The bank
charged that the false statements OF Mr..
Lamar prevented the stock from bringing
its full value, that his confidential relations
with the deceased, with the s, s.
8. Company and with the admins
tratrix, his sister, worked a legal fraud on
the bank and caused the sacrifice OF the
property TO Mr.. Lamar, who thereby be-
came the beneficiary Of his own fraudulent
legal process. On account of this condition
Of affairs the bank asked the court to enjoin
the administrator from delivering the stock
TO Mr.. Lamar. To-day, however. the banks
