up to the highest rate of efficiency.
Nothing will so quickly upset the

Topeka & Santa Fe railway has filed
an answer in the custer suit brought

The case will be conducted for the

ANS " Err IN
FISHER CASE.
John A. PhiIbriCk, One Of De-
PENDANTS Denies All Fraud
As Alleged.
CONVEYANCE OF LAND
Says COnveyanCes Were Not
Made Without Consideration
Mortgage in Case.
Special to the Evening News.


TRENTON, Sept. 5;-John A..
Philbrick, one of the defendants in
the famous New Brunswick chancery
court suit of Charles W. Russell,
trustee in bankruptcy of William f.
Fisher, against Anita Fisher and
others, has filed in the court of
chancery his answer to the suit. He
denies all fraud, as alleged in the bill
of complaint, in the transaction
which led to the suit.
Philbrick admits that William F..
Fisher owned in fec simple certain
valuable brick-clay lands near Say
reville and in other sections of Mid
dleseX county, but denies that prior
to September 10, 1902 Fisher was
hopelessly insolvent. While making
this statement he admits that Fish
.er was financially embarrassed, and
that certain judgments were secured
against him, as set forth in the bill
of complaint.
Admits Conveyance of Lands.
Philbrick. also admits that Fisher
conveyed the lands in question to An
ita Fisher, his daughter, who in turn
re-conveyed them to Medora Fisher
wife of William F. Fisher. But the
defendant denies that these convey
ances were made by Fisher to secure
the property for his own benefit or
use, or for the benefit or use of
persons to whom he was indebted
at the time of the Fisher failure
Philbrick denies also that the con-
veyances were made to prevent cred
itors of Fisher from collecting their
claims, or to defraud those credit
ors.
1t is claimed in the answer that
the conveyances were not made with
out consideration, as charged, but
that Fisher, individually and Will
lam f. Fisher & Company, the brick
firm, were indebted to Medora Fish
er in the sum of $4,000.
Mortgage in Suit.
A mortgage for $4,000 on the
premises made to the defendant by
Fisher and his wife figures in the
suit The defendant has begun suit
to forcclose this mortgage, and the
court of chancery has decreed that
the lands be sold to satisfy the morg-
age claim. The Fishers appealed
from this decree, but it was upheld
by the court of errors and appeals.
