Estate To Be Distributed.

Mr. Kingsand had then residuary IN
terest in the estate of Henry p Kings
land, which was turned over 10 the bank
rupt upon the settlement agreement. This
estate is now about TO be distributed and
Albert a. Kingsland's share Will probably
amount 20 almost $1,000
Two years later, in October 1910, Mr..
iingsland was again in bankruptcy, but
this time no assets were discovered, and
the creditors bewaied a complete loss.
They were mostly tradespeople who had
supplied the Kingsland household with
necessaries Of life. furniture and other
goods.
The second proceeding has now been
reopened on behalf OF a creditor who
hopes TO set aside the arrangements made
IN the first proceeding concerning the re-
siduary interest IN the Henry =. Kings
land estate 1T IS understood this inter
est has been assigned by Mr.. Kingsand
partly 20 his wife and partly 10 a firm Of
LAWYERS Should the contention that this
estate should have been turned over for
The benefit OF the creditors in the second
bankruptcy proceeding be sustained by
the courts, the creditors may be able 10
recover part OF their claims.

Lent Her Their Savings.

The action against Mrs. Jennie T.
Kingsland was brought by Mrs. Preisler
after vain efforts to recover money which
represented the savings of fourteen years
Of hard work. the plaintiffs husband, VIC
tor Preisler. said yesterday. 1T was in
1905 he said that he and his wife were
induced by the promises of a lawyer TO
take out their savings and advance them
10 Mrs. Travis on an assignment of in
terest in the estate Of Daniel G. Kings
land
There was nothing said about the
numerous assignments that had preceded
theirs. Mr. Preisler declared with bitter
ness. and il was not until after the money
had been advanced that he began to
gather an inkling of the real situation
When tho estate was divided ii devel'
oped that the Preisler claim though al
lowed by the courts. could not be salts
fed as the share of Mrs. Travis was not
large enough TO take up all the earlier
assignments and the interest that had
accumulated upon them.
At the time of the loan the lawyer who
arranged for il gave the Preislers addi-
tional security in the form of personal
notes of Mrs. Jennie T. Kingslanu in
dorsed by him. II was on these notes
that he and his wife now hoped to re-
cover their savings, Mr.. Preisler said.
Under a spendthrift trust establish ed
by the will of Ambrose Kingsland. his
son. Albert A. Kingsland. has been en-
joying an income OF $1,000 for MANY
years. In 1897 Mr.. Kingsland went into
bankruptcy for the first time. He was
discharged after a settlement agreement
by which the unsecured creditors received
% cents on the dollar. while the secured
ones took 40 cents on the dollar. Mrs
Abbie j. Travis shared in the settlement
on claims amounting to $4,000 out of a
total OF 10000.
