SUE JULIA v. SIMPSON
TO RECOVER $7,175.90
Trustees in Bankruptcy Of Lewis
johnson & Co. Claim Firm Made
Preferential Payments.

]. Miller Kenyon. H. Rozier Dulany
and Byron Z. Graham, trustees in
bankruptcy Of Lewis johnson & Co..
today instituted suit against Julia V.
Simpson to recover the sum of s7,175.s0.
In the declaration filed through At
torneys Leon Tobriner, Charles C.
Tucker and H. Prescott Galley it is al
legged that the firm Of Lewis johnson
& Co. prior to June, 1914, was indebted
to Mrs. Simpson in the sum of $14,-
231.25, and that it paid part of this
sum to the defendant at that time; that
beginning with July 20. 1914, and
weekly thereafter the bankrupts made
payments of thousand dollars each to
Mrs. Simpson to liquidate the balance of
this indebtedness, making total nav
ments of $$7,175.90; that at the time of
such payments the firm was insolyent.
and that the defendant had knowledge
Of this fact, and had reasonable cause
to believe that the payments were in
the nature of preferences, thus en-
abling her to obtain greater per-
centage of her alleged debt over the
other creditors of the firm The assets
which have come into the hands of the
trustees are insufficient to nav the
debts of the firm, the court is told. and
the trustees therefore claim to be en-
titled to recover the amount from Mrs.
Simpson In order that IL may be ad
ministered in the bankruptcy proceed
ings.

Action on Appeal From
Extradition.

The British government today
through its counsel asked the Supreme
Court of the United States for an early
determination of the appeal of Ignatius
Timothy Tribich Lincoln, from the ac-
ton of the federal district court in
New York, in refusing in habeas cor
pus proceedings to release him from
custody in which he had been placed
for extradition to England.
Lincoln was formerly a member of
parliament. He was arrested in New
York for extradition on charges of for
gerry. He escaped from the custody of
deputy marshal and was recaptured
only few days ago.
John Neville Boyle. on behalf of Lin
coin. filed printed objections to early
consideration of the appeal, urging
that several new questions were raised,
and furthermore that the demand for
extradition was with the purpose of
trying Lincoln for political offense in
violation of the extradition treaty be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain.
