Samuel II. Smith, who has a judgment for
$5l, 900 against John s. Silver. has been try
ing to secure part OF the money by an examina-
ton OF Silver in supplementary proceedings.
The claim was assigned to smith by the Third
National Bank. A motion came on before JUS
tice Bischoff of the Supreme Court yesterday
to decide on tho lines of the examination. The
main point on tho hearing involved questions
about the securities which Silver turned over to
tho Chemical Bank when Cashier Quinlan re-
signed. Counsel for Smith contend that these
funds were the property OF Silver. and that ho
violated the injunction against disposinR of his
property pending the examination. Silver says
that these were trust securities.
Justice Bischof decided that Silver can be
examined fully concerning tho ownership of
the securities. The examination of Silver has
been pending for several days in the offices of
the counsel. but they would not give out the
examination.
