Fine Estate Goes Into the Hands Of

Fine Estate Goes Into the Hands of a
Receiver-Domestic Dif1culties.-On We'd
nesday last Mrs Sadie c. Councilman filed a
suit in the Circuit Court at Towson against her
her husband, James B. Councilman, asking
that receiver be appointed for her husbands
estate, which he inherited through tie death
OF his uncle, James B. Councilman. In her
bill of complaint she states that "irreconciable
differences have arisen between her and her
husband and that they are now living apart
Previously, she says, she advanced large sum
of money to the defendant, and in considera-
ton of which be had given her mortgage
for $4,000 upon the property and promissory
note for $4,000. Mrs. Councilman says that
lately question has arisen as to whether the
will of his uncle left the property exclusively
to Mr.. Councilman, or at his death to descend
to his brothers and sisters. The Safe Deposit
and Trust Company was appointed receiver
for the estate and Mr. Councilman is enoined
from dsposing of any of the property.
WHAT ATTORNEY BRYAN SAYS.
Mr.. William Sheppard Bryan, Jr., who is
attorney for Mrs. Councilman, made the fol-
lowing statement on Wednesday: "ln 1900
Mrs. Councilman loaned her husband ST., 600,
taking as guarantee mortgage on Wood
home, an estate left to him by his uncle, James
B. Councilman, who died in 1887. The larger
part of the money was devoted to extensivei inn
provements on the estate. Several cottages were
built and other buildings erected Later Mrs.
Councilman loaned her husband S13, 600 more,
for which she took his personal note"
when Mrs. Councilman took the mortgage
for So, 900 she was under the impression that
her husbands Inheritance was in fee simple.
A subsequent reading of the will brought to
light the fact that Mr.. Councilman's absolute
interest was dubious Several months ago the
husband and wife separated, Mr.. Councilman
remaining at Woodhome. Last Friday hewent
to New York, and yesterday Mrs. Councilman
received letter from him stating that he was
at the Hoffman House with only enough
money to pay his board for a week or two.
He expressed the hope that his wife would be
happy in the possession of Woodhome and
that he intended to start life anew elsewhere.
when MIR. Councilman left for New York
there was only enough provender to last the
live stock until Saturday night. The Safe De-
post and Trust Company, learning of this
condition, sent representative to the place
and purchased feed enough for the present
need of the live stock"
Mrs. Councilman is the only daughter of the
late Patrick Henry Walker, of "Dumbarton, "
near Pikesville. She has two sons by for
mer marriage. Mr.Councilman is well known
in the county and city and was at one time
member of the House of Delegates. He was
officially connected with the United Milk
Producers Association, which made such a
disastrous failure in 1900.
