Indorses Plan for Reopening
Kmckerbocker Trust Com pany.

Since the extension of time granted on Saturday
in which TO the Parsons Satrerlee plan of
resumption of the business of the Knickerbocker
Trust Company may be obtained non-assenting
depositors have been aroused TO such extent
that within the last four days there has been
large increase in the numbers of assents obtained
and in the money represented. The committees
have been helped by decision Of Judge Thomas
Chatheld of the United States District Court, who
granted to the law firm of Blandy. Mooney &
Shipman permission to agree the plan in be-
half of certain of its clients
The law firm collected S2 900 0oO the proceeds of
a judgment. and the fund deposited in the
Knickerbocker Trust Company pending the de-
cision of controversy to whether it should go
TO the law firm to David Mcclure, representing
Henry y. Petze, the trustee of the bankrupt. for
whom the judgment obtained. In doubt to
whether ii had a right to agree to the proposed
plan for the opening of the trust company, the
law firm appealed Judge Chatf1eld, who has
handed down order authorizing 1t to sign
formal agreement to the plan.
In order to enghten the depostors who
perplexed by the mass of documents received
from various committees a personal canvass is
being made, so far possible, to clear up the
situation and point that if they assent
the ParsonsSatterlee plan they will get all their
money within two years and four months, and
perhaps before The important effect of he
resumption OF business by the trust company
would be to render available approximately $50
000.co9 assets tied up. Mark Twain has sent
the following letter the committee:
Il in receipt of the plan for the resumption
of the business of the Knickerbocker Trust Com
pany and l will willingly yield my assent. My
interest in the matter is strong, since l measure
1t by my deposit, s51199, which is large for
1 believe in your plan. In my judgment it
will succeed and l hope the other depositors will
view it in the way and will give in their
adhesion to it

tomobile, which they had purchased for
Verderame upon his order. Verderame
swore that he refused to pay the bill
rendered by the men because the ma
chine, in his opinion, was not in perfect
running order in which condition they
were to put it. Verderame said the
machine never would run further than
seven squares. "Then we would have
to get out and push" Verderame said.
1t came out that the machine cost
$3.50 originally, that Verderame had
spent 5000 for repairs on it, and that
he finally sold the auto for $3.50.
Trial Of the case will be resumed this
afternoon.
