WAGGAhAN'S DECO
IS HELD INVALID
BY APPEALS COURT

Action of the lower court in dismiss
ing the bill OF II. Rozier Dulany.
trustee in bankruptcy of the late
Thomas E. Waggaman, to set aside a
deed executed by Waggaman and his
wife to Daniel B. Clarke, conveying
certain realty. the deed having been
recorded the day before Waggaman
filed a petition in bankruptcy, August
y, 1904, was reversed in an opinion
handed down today by Associate JUS
tice Van Orsdel, of the Court OF Ap-
peals.
The decree of the lower court Is not
only reversed, but the cause is re-
manded with instructions TO enter y
decree as prayed for in Mr.. Dulany's
bill
Ii is shown in the record that at
the time of the execution OF the deeh,
which was absolute on its face. WaS-
gaman executed and delivered TO
Clarke who has since died, his promls-
sorry note for the sum OF SIo,VS' WIN
interest at per cent. An agreement
was made to the effect that the deed
would not be recorded if the interest
was paid as it matured and the prln-
cipal. was paid at maturity.
Not Recorded.
The deed was withheld from record
and the whole transaction remained a
secret until the day before Waggaman
filed his sensational suit in bankruptcy.
1t was held by the District Supreme
Court that the conveyance of the real
estate did not create a preference IN
fraud of the creditors of Waggaman
under the bankruptcy act, and from the
decree dismissing Mr.. Dulany's bill the
appeal was taken to the Court OF APP
peals.
The enactment OF statutes requiring
deeds and other instruments OF convey
ance to be recorded is PROMPTED in re-
sponse to the highest demands Of public
policy" comments Justice Van Orsdel.
Object of Law.
The law would be nullity il per-
son on the verge of bankruptcy could
have outstanding secret. unrecorded.
Of which his general cred
Itors had no notice. and by simply exc
cutting such conveyances more than four
months prior to his going into bank
ruptcy escape the penalty imposed by
the act for the failure to record"
Justice Van Orsdel concludes that in
his opinion the Withholding Of the
deed from record, until the day before
the bankruptcy proceedings were begun,
a preference under the act
of 1903

Pugilist Expected
To Explain Murder

BOSTON. Mass. Jan. 6.-Investiga-
ton by State detectives at the order of
Governor Foss has practically estab-
lished that James B. Jennings, known
as kid Carter" a pugilist, who shot
and killed man he thought was a de-
tective, is not the slayer of his sweet
heart. Mrs. Mildred Donovan. In a
delirium brought about by cocaine and
liquor Jennings thought he had killed
he-. and when he shot down William
MCPHERSON. a waiter In a saloon last
Wednesday. thinking the man was Il
detective, he cried:
'I'n kill you, too. They can't do
more to me for two murders than one"
Despite the hard work of the detec-
tives on the case much mystery still ex-
lists as TO just what preceded the wom-
ans death, but now that the police have
gathered together the main threads CT
the circumstances about the tragedy
they believe Jennings himself will sup
ply the missing links.
