PAPERS IN SUIT MISSING
Herbert S. and Melville E. Stone, jr.
Baked by Dead Lawyers S Partner.

Herbert < stone and his brother, Mol
Vile e. stone. jr.. find themselves In
peculiar situation as defendants In n suit
brought by Dufeld s. 60. for si.466. Their
counsel was Andrew Gilhoolcy. who died
on January 26 last. They had Neil y.
Becker substituted "a counsel william ".
Gilchrlst. the legal associate OF Gilhooley.
refused to give up the papers held by the
latter In the stone suit.
The two defendants applied to Justtc"
platzek for an order for tho papers being
willing that Gilhoolcy's estate should have
a lien. The court said he had no power.
They applied to william NJ. Hoes. public
administrator. who also refused, on the
ground that he only took charge of estates
where there were tangible assets. and there
is none in the Gilhooley estate. except an
interest in three lawsuits. The Stones were
advised 10 take out letters OF administration
themselves. but they said that the condi.
,lons were prohlbitive. as they would hav,
TO nav for bond and assume a certain
amount OF responsibility for the litigation
that Gilhooley had. So now the defendants
don't know how they are going to get their
papers Gilhooley left two brothers, but
they have not applied for letters OF admin
