SPRUNG
IN WAGGAMAN CASE
Counsel to Show No Act of
Bankruptcy Committed.
WILL FILE THEIR PETITION
Effort to Prove Defendants Trans
actions Were Legal and No Cause
for Action Exists.

A sensation was created in connec-
tion with the proceedings relative TO tha
appointment of a receiver for the es-
tate Of Thomas r. Waggaman today i'm
Equity Court No. l. II occurred when
Charles J. Bonaparte. of Baltimore. who.
with Hamilton {, Colbert. of Washing
ton, represent the Catholic University
Of America. asked the court 10 be al
lowed time 20 file an intervening peti-
tiOn containing facts to show that Wag-
gaman has not committed an act of
bankruptcy
The statement was made a few min
utes before the end Of the morning ses-
sion Of the court, and Justice Ander-
son, who presided, allowed counsel until
Thursday at 10 a. m. 70 file their pcti-
tion.
When the three local banks some days
ago asked that Waggaman be declared
bankrupt, they aTege that ne had com
mitted an act Of bankruptcy by con-
Neyiug certain property to the Catholic
University as additional security for
money lOaneC.
Desi.e to State Facts.
Mr.. Hamilton in support of his request
stated TO the court that IL Is the aim
OF himself and his associates to place
the facts i'm the case before IL So far
he said there IS nothing before the court
upon which ii could act except the
simple allega ton of bankruptcy
Another surprise I'm the proceedings
was the denial Of Waggamau in his
answer filed today through his counsel.
Irving Williamson, OF the necessity for
the court TO appoint a receiver to take
charge of and administer his estate
This when paraIleled with the state
ment made I'm % letter written To COuu-
sci for the banks which asked that he
bC adjudScd a bankrupt was found to
be diamctrically opposite. In the letter
TO Waggaman admitted his
debts and his inability to pay at once
and advised that steps be taken TO ad-
minister his estate.
Many at the Hearing.
The hearing concerning the appoint
ment of a receiver to take charge of the
Waggamau estate attracted a great
number of persons interested as couu-
sci and creditors. and also as spectators
TO the City Hall today. So when Jus
tice Anderson convened Equity Court

est capacity
When Mr.. Ralston was about To coll.
the attention OF the court to the mat
bert requested that the proceedings he
delayed a few minutes until Attorney
Bonaparte, who was 10 take part on be
half Of the Catholic University. arrived.
The request was granted but the dc

had an opportunity to take up amy other
matter for consideration.
