don, in the sum of Seven Thousand
Five Hundred (s7,5OO.00) Dollars,
and that ever since said time and at
the present time the said Indebtedness
with interest thereon is an outstand-
ing and subsisting Indebtedness due
the plaintiff; that at said time the
said Louis B. Brydon was the owner
of a one-third undivided interest in
land in Garrett county, Maryland,
containing about forty seven acres,
which was conveyed to the said Louis
B. Brydon, John Crosby Brydon and
William Schley Brydon by deed of
Susan " Brydon and husband, dated
the 5th day of September, 1896, and
recorded among the Land Records Of
Garrett county in Liber E. z. I. No.
80, folio ATT; that at said time the
said Louis B. Brydon had out of his
own moneys and property advanced
and paid to the said John Crosby Bry-
don and William Schley Brydon an
amount of money, equal to and in ex-
cess of their value and ownership in
the aforesaid property, and in order to
secure the same to the defendant,
Louis B. Brydon, the said John Cros-
by Brydon and wife, and William
Schley Brydon and wife, without con-
sideration, except said Indebtedness,
did on June l, 1926, execute a deed to
The Advance Development Company,
corporation, of all Of their right,
title and interest in said property,
same being recorded among said Land
Records in Liber E. z. 7. No. SO, folio
Ali.
The Bill further alleges that the de-
PENDANT being all the time indebted to
the plaintiff as aforesaid did prior to
January 26, 1926, cause to be in
corporated The Advance Development
Company and did, without any con-
sideration moving from the said The
Advance Development Company to
the said Louis B. Brydon, execute a
deed in connection with his said wife
for pretended consideration of Five
Thousand S5,000.00) Dollars of all
of his right, title and interest in the
aforesaid real estate; that at the
time Of the execution and delivery of
the aforesaid deeds from John Crosby
Brydon and wife, and William Schley
Brydon and wife, to The Advance De-
velopment Company, and the said
deed from Louis B. Brydon and wife
to The Advance Development Com
pany, the said defendant Louis B.
Brydon was indebted as aforesaid to
the plaintiff, and that at the time of
the making of both of said deeds, he
did not have the means of paying said
Indebtedness out of any other prop
erty except the property SO con-
veyed, and at said time he was al
so largely indebted to other persons
and was insolvent; that said con-
veyances were made to The Ad-
vance Development Company for
simulated and pretended considera-
tion, and that the effect of the same
was to hinder, delay and defraud
your complainant of its just and law
full claim.
The Bill further alleges that the
said Louis B. Brydon and Grace B.
Brydon, his wife, are non-residents
of the State of Maryland, residing in
Taylor county, West Virginia, and
that the said William Schley Brydon
and Della E. Brydon, his wife, are
non-residents Of the State of Mary
land, residing in Barbour county,
West Virginia.
The Bill prays for a decree of
Court declaring to be void, vacating
and annulling both of the aforesaid
deeds to The Advance Development
Company, and for other relief.

March, 1927, ordered by the Circuit

ing copy of this order to be inserted
