THE CHASE NATIONAL ANSWERS.
"A complicated Financial Deal I'm which
Il. X Edmfsfnrs FIur.r.od

"A complicated Financial Deal In which
j. a Edmiston Figured.
Some time ago Bessie j. Hendricks and
husband brought suit in the superior court
against j. r.. Edmsston. once president OF
the now defunct Security Savings Bank. IN
which she claimed the following facts:
In April, 1886. Seymour wetnore gave Ed
mission a bond for deed OF the west half
OF the northwest quarter of section Is,
township "a north, range 4 east. excepting
ten acres, on the condition that Edmston
was TO pay therefor the sum OF 81 os0
That Edmiston pad but si3, is9 40. and there
was a balance OF $3.50 That after that time
Netmore, on November Is Issl conveyed
ny deed TO the plaintiff all OF hts Interest
IN the tract. The prayer was that the
bond be foreciosed and the land sold TO pay
the balance alleged TO be due
The Chase National bank. OF New York,
was made party defendant as claiming
some interest In the tract. Yesterday the
bank filed In the superior court It's answer,
showing complicated financial transac-
ton, with reference TO the land. The bank
denies that there is So $40 due on the bond.
or any other amount. The allegation is
that on September TO- 1898. the exact
amount due by. Edm.ston was $3.50; that in
October. largely through the efforts Of the
plaintiff, who was a daughter of Wetmore,
an agreement was entered into between
him and Edm.ston By the terms of which
WetmoFe decided to Edmbston the tract, and
received in cash $3.50 and three notes. one
for $50. one for 81 go and one for s4.750.
At the time Edm.ston had no knowledge
OF the deed to plaintiff. and supposed he
was getting a good title. the defendant
fraudulentiy coEcealing from him the fact
that she had deed to the tract. The two
smaller notes were sold by wetmore to
persons who are not parties TO the suit,
and the larger one TO plaintiff.
On August ~ fSs9e Eir0iSf0r assigned
the bond 20 John l.. Austin, excepting as
TO a certain portion of the tract. Austin
gave two notes. one for 81 BOO, the other
for 5000. and mortgaged back an undivided
two-thirds interest in the northwest quar-
ter OF the northwest quarter. and the east
half Of the southwest quarter of the north
west quarter OF section IL. township "A.
range 4.
on August 81, 1892, Austin decided the
above property 10 Edmiston. who assumed
the mortgage. On August IS. 1892. the
Chase National. the defendant, loaned the
Security Savings Bank $1,000, and Edms-
ton indorsed over the Austin note for 1900
as collateral. There Is now balance due
on the debt OF $500. for which the Chase
National still holds the $500 note secured
by mortgage on the property.
BY reason of these facts the Chase Ma
tIonai thinks the plaintiffs are estopped
from asserting a lien on the property
against the defendants mortgage lien.
