CASH FOR THOMAS CHILDREN
SOtbO, 600 Each They Lent When the 5th
National Was Breaking. Repaid.

Surrogate Fitzgerald has signed an
order approving the claim made by Ed
ward Russell Thomas and his sister, Mrs
Eleanor Thomas Bccckman against tile
estate Of their father, General Samuel
Thomas, who died recently. The claims
are for 5000 900 each. which, with interest
from June IS. 1901, will aggregate 81 PTS 900.
The children testified before tho SurrO-
gate that on May 20, 1901. Gen. Thomas
made a gift OF 5000 900 to each Of them
and an additional $500. 900 to their mot her
He was then i'll in bed at Artlsley-on-the-
Hudson. and he sent for W. II. Taylor,
vice-presdent Of the Bowling Green Trust
Company. to witness that the money was
given as free gift, without question.
A month later, on June rs, 1901, about
the time the Seventh National Bank, in
which Gen. Thomas was heavily inter-
csted and to which he advanced a very
large sum in order to help it out, was in
difficulties, he sent for his children and
old them that his balance at the Bowling
Green Trust Company had sunk very low
on account Of recent drains upon him,
and that he would like to borrow tenn
porarily. the money he had given them.
They turned over the 81 10000 to him
and he added 1t to his balance. No arrange
ment was made at the time. for repayment,
and when he died it was discovered that
there was no such provision In his will.
AS the son and daughter are executors
under the will they could not repay them
selves without the approval OF the Surro-
gate, and proceedings to that end were
then taken. 1t was shown that Gen Thomas
was absolutely sound in his mind when
the various transactions occurred.
Albert o. Beebe, who is suing the estate
to recover some 100000 which. he says
Gen. Thomas owed him in corporation
deal, tried to intervene as creditor In
the proceedings, but Surrogate Fitzgerald
