Court Criminals-A Property Own
err Sued for Damages.
An interlocutory decree was taken in the
Hohensteln litigation in the superior court
yesterday, by which the two petitions were
consolidated and a partial division of the
property was agreed upon.
The petition of Adam Hohenstein, trus-
| tee, against Chas. Hohenstein and others
for direction from the court as to a divis-
ion of the property among the five heirs,
and for permission TO sell certain portions
of the property for the purpose of making
an equitable division, was consolidated
with the petition of Jas. r. Hohenstein
against Adam Hohenstein. trustee, and
others in which mismanagement is charg
ed and receiver for the property is asked
for.
| Upon the consolidation of these cases
decree was taken with reference to a di-
vision of the stocks and bonds belonging
to the estate, it being decided that Jas. r.
Hohenstein as the only child of George
Hohenstein deceased, is entitled to one
fifth of the estate along with the other re-
maindermen who are Chas., William A,
John b, and Carrie Hohenstein. all chill
dren of Helena Hohenstein.
The foregoing point being settled dis
tribution of the $4,000 city of Savannah
bonds and the ten shares of Southwestern
railroad stock, belonging TO the estate
equally among the five heirs named, was
decided upon. The trustee was directed
to transfer to each of them two shares
of Southwestern railroad stock, and to
transfer all of the city Of Savannah bonds
to bearer, after which he is to distribute
them equally among the five remainder
men. The stock and bonds which so TO
James r. Hohenstein are to be delivered
TO James O'Keefe, his duly qualified guar
dian, and as the division cannot be made
exactly equal, an amount of cash suffi-
cient to make up the difference is to be
paid to J. r. Hohensteins guardian The
decree provides for the passing of the IL
tie of other parties in the bonds.
1t is provided that the consolidated cases
shall stand open for further orders and
| DEGREES pending the application for re-
ceiver, and the petition of Adam Hohen-
stein for direction as to the division of the
property. The case viii probably be
taken up again about Oct. 49, when court
will reconvene, in order that any feature
Of it which may present itself at that time
may be attended to.
