Arthur C. Fike, of Plainfield, Smiths
confidential secretary, told Mr. Furst
today that Smith was the financial
hacker of the Interstate Realty
Stamp Company, a $4,000 corpora
ton, with its principal Office at 30
Market street. Smiths name was IN
no way connected with the realty eon-
Germ. but Mr.. F'ike told Mr. Furst

on Monday Mr.. Furst will apply to
Federal Judge Rellstab at Trenton
for an order directing Pitney, Hardin
& Skinner. counsel for the trust COM
pany, to turn over to him as receiV-
er's attorney $4,000 worth of securi-
ties the law firm now holds, which,
it is alleged, belong to Smith.
The securities were found in the
private lock-bo of Smith in the trust
company's vault when 1t was broken
open by Deputy State Commissioner
of Banking and Insurance Vreden-
burgh. Mr.. Furst claims they are the
personal property of Smith and should
| be turned over to the receiver.
| Former Judge Skinner, of counsel
| for the bank, raises the point that
| there is some doubt as to whether
| the securities are Smiths personal
property or whether they are bank
property, which he had transferred
| to his lock-boX. The matter will be
| threshed out before Judge Rellstat
at Trenton on Monday. Mr.. F'urst
| will also bring an action in the New
| York division of the United States
| District Court for IAN injunction re.

will be started, Attorney Furst says
