TRUSTEE MUST
RESTATE HIS
ACCOUNT
Master So Recon- mends In
Old Barnnm-M Morton
Legal Fight.

That the account should be r~estated was
the gist of the decision filed by Advisory
Master Charles r. Kocher in the Orphans
Court today in the legal fight created after
the death of Mrs. Ann c.. Morton, on
whose large estate Stephen C. Barnum.
her ~son-in-law, had given an accounting
as trustee.
This accounting was attacked by Theo-
dore f. Morton and Fanny Barnum Man
ming, children of Thomas S. Morton, de-
visees under the last will and testament
of Mrs. Morton, and Fannie Barnum Man
ming, next friend of William H. Morton,
her infant son, There were seven objec-
tons to this accounting, and the legal
fight was a long and bitter one.
One phase of the contest was the re-
moyal of Mr.. Barnum as executor of the
estate, although he held his trusteeship.
The general ground of the removal was
that the son-in-law had wasted the funds
of the estate entrusted to his care. 1t was
set forth at the time that he had con-
verted upward Of $4,000 of the estate to
his own use, and It was also alleged that
fraud was practised on the court when
application was made for substitutionary
administration
Mrs. Morton died in Montclair, and her
win was probated by the Surrogate May
%, 1901. In the course of the contest on
the accounting John w. Queen, of Jersey
City, on behalf Of Mrs. Morton's son, ques-
toned Barnum as to the sale OF 426 build
ing lots in Middle Village, L. l., which
were Included In the estate at the time
of Mrs. Morton's death. Barnum, 1t was
asserted. sold $50 Of these lots for $42, 800.
and that this was not the true value, The
money went to satisfy a mortgage Of $751;
