Mrs. Babes Suit Against q Trust Com.
pany and Others.

mrs. Babes Suit Against q Trust Com.
pany and Others.
A bill In equity to remove cloud from
compliments title to part Of sub lot %,
square Al. has been fled by Mary A. Babe
widow and legatee Of the late Jos. w. Babe.
against VIM. 8. Thompson. the American
Security and Trust Company. VIM. e. Ed
ncbston and Adds B. Browne, trustees, and
Benz w. Holman.
The suit recalls the departure from Wash
irgton last December Of Jos. R. Hartford, q
real estate dealer Of this city. Mrs. Babe
states that her husband purchased from
Benz. w. Holman in August. 1892. the
property mentioned in her bill Of complaint,
the deed Of conveyance being dated August
"a, 1892. Mr.. Babe died the 10Th Of last
February, and as sole beneficiary under his
will, Mrs. Babe became possessed Of the
property in question. About the latter part
OF the following month, Mrs. Babe states,
she was surprised to learn that defendants
Edmonston and Browne were about to sell
the property as trustees, under an alleged
deed of trust executed by Holman August
p, 1892, to secure the American Security
and Trust Company the sum of 5000.
Through an investigation of the records by
her counsel Mrs. Babe learned that the al
legged deed of trust was recorded September
=, 1882, and that the deed from Holman to
her husband was dated September 8, 1892,
and recorded the next day. She was also in
formed that while the records showed that
her husband was August %. 1892. the legal
owner of the property, they also showed
that next day her husband, being Joined by
her, conveyed to Holman the same property
for the sum of 81, 400.
Mrs. Babe declares that she and her hus-
band never signed the deed Of August .,
1892 and she charges that Holman executed
the deed Of August %, 1892, but that 1t was
not recorded until six days after the record
ing of the deed from Holman to her hus-
tand. She charges also that the deed of
August q. 1892. was taken from the record
er OF deeds office by Jos. r. Hartford and
never returned. while the later deed. that of
September s. 1892, from Holman to her hus-
band. was the only one received by her for
her husband. whose business she attended
to. he being an invalid. She therefore was
misled into believing that the later deed was
the only one from Holman. Mrs. Babe fur
Their charges that the alleged deed of Au-
gust o. 1892. purporting to have been made
by her husband and herself. was forged.
She therefore prays that the defendants be
en1oined and restrained from selling or
otherwise interfering with the property, and
that the defendants Edmonston and
Browne be ordered to release to her the
property freed from any lien by reason of
the said deed Of trust.
Judge Cox granted q temporary restrain
ing order, returnable Tuesday next.

Mr.. Mullowney further explained that

also told the tailor that he was living at

Mr.. Robin was fully convinced that the
young man was not a fraud, and so COM
pletely did he become victim of the con-

The young man purchased a gold watch

SO certain that his checks were good that
he advanced SIS in cash to the jeweler.
Later in the afternoon the tailor's sus-

he had pawned the watch for $35, and with

Court, the young man was apparently very
much surprised that he was to be pros
