UNCLE HAS HIS MONEY.
Boy Suing, Through His Mother. tn
Recover Insurance.

Floyd Martin Jeffords, by his next
friend, Edna c. Jeffords Of Orange
county. Fla. has secured an order
from Judge Speer in the United States
court restraining DIR. Thomas Q. JEFF
fords of Worth county, Ga, from in
terfering with certain money and prop
-erty The petitioner is six years of age,
and the petition is made by his moth
er and against his uncle.
II is shown that the boys father died
July %. 1886, and that he had a policy
for $40, 900 in the Fidelity Mutual Life
Association. Under the terms of the
policy the company was to have paid
$4,000 to DR.. Jeffords and the remain
ing $1,000 to the widow of his brother.
1t is alleged that the boys father
agreed with his brother that the $4,000
was to be used in providing for any
child or children that he might have,
and should be a sort of trust fund. The
petition shows that the insurance COM
pany did not pay the amount of the
policy when the demand was made, and
that DR.. Jeffords had to enter suit for
its recovery. Judgment was obtained
and the specified sum was paid last
May
1t is charged that after he received
the money ne QcClilcQ 10 support VI
provide for his nephew in any way. as
he had right to do under the terms
made with his brother in life. 1t is al
legged that he displayed the "magnani-
NOUS spirit of offering to educate and
support the boy IL he would agree to
''the heartless and inhumane condition
of leaving his mother. and going to live
with the defendant. All this with funds
held in trust for the support of the ora
tor"
The plaintiff alleges that Dr. Jeffords
paid several premiums on the policy
under an agreement with his brother,
and further admits that he spent
money in the suit against the insur-
ance people. He states a willingness to
pay back such amounts to his uncle as
he might claim on this ground. The pc
t!tion asks that the defendant be re-
strained from in any manner interior
ing with the property in dispute until
the case comes up for a hearing in the
United States Court.
