Realty of Ex-senator Likely to 90
Under SherifS Hammer.

Wilmington. Del Dec. 10 (Special).-An OF the
real estate owned by ]. Edward Addicks IN Oela-
ware is in danger OF being sold by United states
Marshal Finn to satisfy outstanding judgments
AS the outcome of an order Issued by Judge Brad
ford in the United States Court here. the appi-
cation of ex-senator Anthony Higgins. Of this city,
counsel for Charles F. Hinchman. OF Camden, N
J.. Marshal Finn named Frederick E. Stone and
Edward F. Donohue. both of Brandywine Hundred
Del, board to determine the amount of Ad-
dicks's income.
Tie board met in the Federal Building yester-
day, and after making an investigation Of, Ad-
dickss finances, deeiued that the revenue from his
property would not be sufficient, within the next
seven years. as provided by law, to meet the
amount Of $39.14s which is remaining on the judg-
ment recently obtained by Mr. Hinchnan in the
Supreme Court of New-Jersey. This report was
made to Marshal Finn, and he will hand it to
Judge Bradford.
This development makes the sale of all of Ad-
dickss realty in this State possible in order to
satisfy the Hinchman claim and other judgments
previously fled. 1t is expected that Mr.
Hinchman's attorney will apply to Judge
Bradford for order to sell all of the holdings
If the application shall not be opposed by ex-At-
torney General Ward counsel for Mr.. Addicks. it
is believed that the order to sell the real estate by
the marshal will be made by the court.
It is probable. however that Addicks will not
give up and will delay the sale by continuing the
litigation Should the sale take place it will, be

which the election of legislature that will choose

not bring more than $4,000, and that, because of
the existence of other membranes Mr. fIinch-
man would probably not realize anything. Ad-

his wife. and it is. therefore. free from attach
ment.
OF the claims against the combined property
which included the Hinchman Judgment there is
the mortgage given by Addicks to Receiver Pepper
Of the Bay State Gas Company for $50 600 when
settlement of the suit brought against him by
Pepper was effected some months ago. This is
