Atlanta. Ca. Aug. 19.-As expected yes
terdav when his failure was announced,
a receiver was applied for and granted
for ]. B. Redwine, private banker to-
day.
The receiver was asked by attorneys
representing J. NJ. High & Co, Cham
borlain. johnson Company, ana Mrs. C.
/ Fielder. whose claims aggregate $1,000,
that of Mrs. Fielder. which is 5000 being
the largest.
T. D. Meador was appointed as tempo
rary receiver and the case will be heard
on Aug. 81.
THE petition further sets forth that Red
wine is indebted to Hugh Inman IN the
sum of $1,000. to J. K. Ottley in the sum
Of $4,000 to J. S. owens several thousand
dollars. and unknown amounts to Others
and that the security held by these credi-
tors is in great excess of the claims held
by them.
It is further stated that the said Red
wine owns other notes aggregating 100000
placed with other creditors as security;
that he owns valuable track of land on
jackson street, which has been transfer
red to his wife for a pretended debt of
some 5000 or $4,000
The petitioners charge that RedWine
owes his wife nothing, and that the trans
fer was to defraud creditors and that Mrs.
Redwine is trying to dispose of the prop
erty which by rights is not her own. They
ask that J. B. Redwine, Mrs. J. B. Red
wine, Hugh T. Inman, ]. X. Ottley and
John S. Owens be made parties defendant;
that Mr. and Mrs Redwine be restrained
from disposing of any property and that
the other defendants be enjoined from
disposing of any property in excess Of
their legal claims.
Investigation to-day shows that Redwine
is Indebted to every bank in the city with
the exception of two, though all the banks
hold what they consider absolute safe col
laterals and will not lose anything.
AS will be seen from the following list
of his creditors his total debts viii reach
$4,000 and probably go much beyond that
when ali sources are heard from. Those
reported so far are Hugh T. Inman, $l1,
900; j. X. Ottley, $1000Oi Third National
Bank, S. 900; Oscar Davis $1,000; j. 5. Ow-
ems, IS, 000; Atlanta National Bank, 5000;
Capital City Bank 81 ,S00 Mrs. c. J. Field
er. 81 900; W. B. Summers, $1,000; Lowry
Banking Company, $500; Coker Banking
Company, $500; hamberlin-Johnson-D
bose Company $l62S6; J. NJ. High $l4553;
total, 4O,O0S.39.
There is a dispute over the alleged trans
fer of Redwlne's residence to his wife, as
claimed IN the bill for receiver. President
Ottley, as stated last night, claims to have
a deed to this place TO secure a $4,000 loan,
though he has never recorded IL.
Two other deeds given by Redwine
sometime ago were recorded to-day. One
was to his daughter, Mrs. Bessie Nc
Clelland, conveying property worth 5000
and the other was to the Third National
Bank, conveying one city lot and six farm
tracts to secure $4,000
The bankers wife to-day caused a good
6eal of gossip about her unfortunate hus-
band by saying that he was at home sick
in bed, while his clerk and confidential
man declared that he had gone TO North
Caroline for his health. Servants on the
place also said that Redwine was at home
in bed sick under orders from Mrs. Red
wine. and this, with the other statements
as to his departure for North Carolina,
tended to give the case a complicated
turn.
c. NJ. Curran Redwine's confidential
man, who is endeavoring to straighten
out his affairs explained Mrs. Redwine's
statements by saying she was hysterical
over her husbands failure believing that
more serious troubles would befall If she
confirmed the statements that he had
gone away from the city.
Redwine is a brother-in-law of Gary f.
Brewster, of the firm of Moody & Brew
ster, which failed for half million several
months ago, Brewster having skipped out
with the spoils, 1t is alleged.
1t is denied, however, that Redwine had
anything TO do with this concern and that
he lost any money through his brother
in-law, though at times he had endorsed
his paper at various local banks.
