by most of the legatees under the will who
demanded that Paine and his co-executor, Waldo
G. Morse, be removed from the management of
the estate. The removal asked for on the
ground that the evidence taken before referee
in matters pertaining to the estate disclosed
the fact that the estate had been wasted and
that 1t had been improvidently and dishonesty
managed
The report of the referee was made year ago.
and created something of sensation at the
time. In it the referee disallowed several

and his co-executor Mr. Morse. In his decision
Surrogate Thomas denies Mr. Paines applica
ton to he permitted to resign. and says that
referee should be appointed to investigate the
