a PETITION IN BANKRUPTCY.
Filed by Three Leading Banks Against
Thomas Waggerman.
fRy the Associated Press

Washington, Aug. ga sensation
was caused in financial and real estate
circles in this city today when it be-
came known that a petition in bank
ruptcy had been filed by three of the
leading national banks of the city
against Thomas l.. Waggaman. q
prominent real estate and insurance
agent of this city and treasurer of
the Catholic University. The petition
at the same time seeks to set aside
a deed of yesterday on Mrs. Wagga-
mans property for approximately
$S7G,0 900 in favor of the Catholic Uni
versity on the ground that it is void
as being an attempt by an insolvent
debtor to prefer one Of his creditors.
The petitioning banks were the Sec
ond National Bank. the National Met
ropolitan Bank and the National Bank
Of Washington, each of which alleged
it held overdue and unpaid paper of
Mr.. Waggaman' the total amount
held by the three exceeding $4,000
of which $4,000 is due the Metropoli-
tan Bank. 1t is probable that the
proceedings are the beginning of con-
siderable litigation.
