Court Rules on important Bank
ina Law Point in VIII
IiamS Case
EXECUTOR IS AWARDED FUNDS
Wife'S Guardian Loses Suit to
Secure Control of Ac-
count of $2975
EXECUTOR IS AWARDED FUNDS

A new point of law, one that will
affect thousands of bank depositors in
this and other cities, was made yester-
day, when Judge Hervey of the su-
perior court made his decision in the
case of Williams against tthe Los An
geles Trust company
The important question decided was
in regard to the disposition of q de-
posit made payable to either of two
persons If one dies. On the death of
one, according to the decision, the de-
posit does not vest In the survivor, but
becomes part of the estate Of the de-
ceased, unless the deposit is made with
the expressed condition that on the
death of one 1t go to the other.
CHANGES CUSTOM
This means that in the hundreds Of
cases where a husband and wife are
now each checking against the same
account, and in the belief that in the
case of the death of the husband the
wife could continue to use the deposit,
they have rested on a false security
From now on they must expressly stipu-
late, or the bank account will be closed
to the wife till the settlement of the
estate, in event of the husbands death.
In this particular case, George L.
Taylor died, leaving deposits of $2975 in
the Security Savings bank and the
German-American Savings bank.
THE CAUSE OF SUIT =. .....
At the time of making the deposits
he signed a card making the deposits
payable to either himself or wife. Fol-
lowing his death, the wife was COM
mitted to an asylum for the insane, and
the Los Angeles Trust company was
appointed her guardian. The trust
company demanded the deposit, as did
Louis Williams, the administrator of
the husbands s estate. This case was to
determine which ones rights came first,
and the administrator was held to be
the one entitled to the deposits.

PECKHAM DIVORCE
DENIED BY JUDGE
Husband Loses Suit, and Wife Is
Granted $100 a Month
Maintenance
SAYS MAN TANNED JEALOUSY
Woman, with Tears in Her Eyes,
Thanks Court for the
Decision
SAYS MAN TANNED JEALOUSY

The hard-fought divorce suit of
George C. Peckham against Agda 5.
Peclham and counter suit of Mrs.
Peckham for permanent support came
to an end yesterday when Judge Her
vey of the superior court denied the
divorce and granted to Mrs. Peckham
$100 q month separate maintenance till
further order of the court. He summed
up the situation by saying:
Undoubtedly Mrs. Peckham is
very jealous woman, but Mr.. Peckham
has done a great deal to fan that jeal-
ousy into flame"
1t was with tears In her eyes that
Mrs. Peckham thanked him, the judge
all the while assuring her she had no
reason to thank him. Mr.. Peckham
also voiced his gratitude, and it was
evident that all the parties were re-
lieved when the contest was over.
Before the opening of court in the
morning a certificate of DR.. w. e..
Reed, stating that Miss Margaret
Brooks, the witness who failed to
make an appearance the day preced-
ing, was i'll with appendicitis was re-
ceived. The court took occasion to
state TO DR.. Reed that 1t was strange
wAen another physician, one of the
best in the city, whom the court had
directed to investigate, had reported
Miss Brooks was in good health.
A visit to the rooms of Miss Brooks
in the Bachelor apartments, 800 West
Fifth street, was made at once, both
parties in the case and their attorneys,
as well as the judge, bailiff and re-
porters were there. Contrary to ex-
pectations, however Miss Brooks tes-
tlmony was devoid of sensational in
cidents. She stated Mr. Peckham had
been to her rooms on several occasions
and she had been 20 see him, but on
purely business matters. She had
asked Mr.. Peckham to pay her room
rent on one occasion till she should
receive a remittance she claimed to
receive regularly from her home in San
Francisco.
Peckham later on the stand denied
having paid Miss Brooks rent, and
said that he had never taken her to
supper or had lunch with her except
once, when in her room he drank a
cup of coffee while she was having her
