The question whether a married
woman living in one state can hold
bank stock in another state was de-
cided in the affirmative by the Maryland
Court of Appeals in the case OF Kerr,
Receiver, VS.. Uric. The court in rem
dering judgment said: The question
presented is whether a married woman
residing in this state is capable of hold
ing stock In national bank located
and doing business in the state of
Texas, and, If so, whether she is liable
as such stakeholder under the personal
liability provisions of section 5,152 of
the Revised Statutes OF the United
States. Whatever difficulty may CUR
round this question, arises, we think,
more from the manner in which II is
presented in this case than from any
other cause, for 1t can hardly be sup
posed that at this day, when, by the
law OF most all the states, a married
woman may contract as feme sole in
respect to her separate estate, she is
without power to subscribe for or be-
come the transferrer of the stock Of a
national bank.

natos operations and the losses which
their declines represent. 1t, of course,
takes no account of his early ventures
in diamonds and diamond mines,
which, indeed, were mainly conducted
as private enterprises, and it should be
noted that his remarkable success in
this connection was what in all proba-

financial experiments with disastrous
results, and at the same time gave the
public an exaggerated opinion of his
sagacity. Excluding. also, some minor
