UNDER AGREED ORDER.
Partition Of Property of Swami Estate
Directed by Court

An agreed order for the partition of the
property of the late Governor Swami Of
Maryland has been signed by Justice Ash
ley NJ Gould sitting In Equity Court No. 1.
This order permits the sale Of the historic
old Van Ness Park. for which $161 600 was
offered by the Columbian University short
time ago. BY the terms of the order Sam
uel Maddox and Nathaniel Wilson are ap-
pointed trustees to make the sale of the
property belonging to the estate.
The complainants In the suit, which has
been pending in the District Supreme Court
for several years, are the daughters of the
late Governor Swami. who are the wives,
respectively. of DIR. Shirley Carter, Mai
Thomas w. Ferguson and Mr.. Whipple, and
the defendants were the other heirs Of the
deceased. A deed of trust. executed by
Governor Swami. constituted grounds for
a contention. and the further question arose
relative to the several rights of the three
complainants. each of whom claimed, I'M
der the will. a one-fourth interest in the
estate. The defendants. among whom were
Sherlock Swami. Ferdinand and Mrs. La
trobe. insisted that the compliments had
only one-fffth interest each.
The case went to the auditor. who gave
only one-fifth interest to each Of the
compliments. 1t was argued then before
Justice Gould. and was still pending when
the offer for Van Ness Park was made by
the Columbian University AT this juno

mise. by which the latter was to receive

the trustees appointed to sell the property
belonging to the Swami estate this after
noon reported to the court that they have
received from Messrs. Plant and Turpin
real estate brokers of the city, an offer for
the purchase of the property known as the
Van Ness Park. This offer. il is stated is
made on behalf of the Columbian yuiyer-
sity. The plot of land comprises PHIL
square feet and the price offered is rs
cents per square foot.
The trustees recommend the acceptance
of the offer. and ask that 1t may be ratified
by the court
Messrs. Wilson and Maddox also reported
