That Cowen and Murray were not
residents of Ohio at the time of their
appointment, and resided in Maryland.
and that they are not performing the
duties of receivers according to law;
but. on the contrary, are guilty Of NAL
feasnnce In settling with certain credi-
tors OF the Baltimore & Ohio who are
not entitled to any preference over
Robinson, and that they are not manag-
ing and controlling and disposing Of the
property In the interests of all the
creditors. but are preferring some
