J. Jaffrod Butler, temporary administrator
Of the estate Of the late Joseph Richardson,
moved before Surrogate Fitzgerald yesterday
that George Richardson be compelled to surren-
der all property of his father and to disclose
what the contents of a tin box are that belonged
to his father which is in q vault OF the Mercan-
tile Trust Company. When the box was opened
BY the administrator 1t contained q certificate
for three bonds. a piece of paper. and a little
canvas bag. Counsel for the temporary admin
istrator wanted to know what the box contained
at the time Of Mr.. Richardson's death. and said
there was q presumption that George Richard
son had taken some Of the effects out of the box.
Counsel said:
Mr.. Richardson was supposed to have been
worth several millions of dollars, but we can
ind comparatively little, and his son and daugh-
ter have refused to give us information as to his
property. We think we should have a general
inquiry as to George. Richardson's actions In ro-
gard ,to. this box" He said further that q
record of eight bonds and mortgages had been
found In the Registers office which belonged to
Richardson. but he had been unable to get other
trace of the bonds.
Counsel for the children denied having PROD.
erty Of the fathor except a certificate for twcn-
ty-hve shares Of Western Union telegraph
stock, which was thereupon handed to the ad.
ministrator. The case was adjourned a week.
