 Burr 6 Knapp Bond

Just who are entitled to share in the $sO,O00 bond furnished by the defunct banking firm of Burr & Knapp was one of the points in dis pute before Judge Curtis in the su- perior court yesterday afternoon when the suit of the State of Con- necticut against the National Surety Co. was tried. This company bonded Burr & Knapp but refused to make good after the banks failure and the state brought suit. It is said there were about 900 depositors at the time of the failure but the court will de- termine whether the distribution of the $10.0O0 will be limited to them or whether other creditors will be in- cluded.
 Trustee John c. Chamberlain told the court yesterday that the company has total assets of about S40,O0O to pay claims of $2oO,00o.
