COMPLAINS OF LOSS
RECEIVERS PROPERTY

In dilemma as to the whereabouts
Of her trunk and suitcase. Mrs. 8. salo-
mon. living at 40 East Grace Street,
appeared at police headquarters last
night to complain that her trunk and
case had been taken from No. 40 by
a negro driver. and she had heard
nothing of 1t since. All her personal
belongings were In the trunk and case.
She stated that she had arranged to
move to No. Alb Grace. but had direct
ed no one to remove her effects. Later
Detective Wiltshire learned that a
driver for one of the reputable team
sters had moved the trunk and case
and that Mrs. Solomon would lose
nothing and that her property was safe
in the hands Of the teamster. 1t seems
that an order to move the effects had
been received. and the order had been
carried out.

WRIT OF ERROR
IN GOOCH CASE

Judge r. H Cardwell of the Su-
preme Court of Appeals yesterday
granted a writ of error and super
sedeas In the case of Margaret r,
Gooch against the Old Dominion Trust
Company, on appeal from the decree
of the Mecklenburg Court in favor of
the defendant. The case involves the
right OF the trust company, as curator
of Goochs estate, to disburse certain
funds in a manner which they believe
would be advantageous to the estate
Mrs. Gooch is the widow of w. II
Gooch. who met his death while the
couple were on their bridal tour MIR
Gooch died interstate, but before his
marriage he made an agreement with
Mrs, GooCh in which the Old Domin-
ion Trust Company was made curator
of the estate. After the death of Mr.
Gooch his widow brought the ante
nuptial contract into the United States
District Court here. and had it an
nulled on the ground that 1t was
detrimental to her interests. She
then applied to the Mecklenburs
Court to be appointed admtnistra-
trix OF her husbands estate. and pend
ing decision on her appointment the
Old Dominion Trust Company was
named temporary administrator.
Subsequently the trust cmpany. act
ing as curator and administrator, pc
titioned the court to permit II to
liquidate a certain Indebtedness OF the
estate. which would result in a con-
siderable saving. A petition was made
to the courts by the counsel OF Mrs.
Gooch protesting against the request
of the Old Dominion Trust Company,
on the grounds that Mrs. Gooch
should have q voice in the handling
of her husbands estate. The request
Of the trust company WAS granted.
however, and an appeal was taken by
Mrs Gooch. in which the Supreme
Court granted the writ of error and
supersedeas. 1t appears that the Old
Dominion Trust Company feels that
IT is entitled to commissions for hand
ling the estate. while Mrs. Gooch be-
lieves that she should share them.
