Mr.. KelSo has sought to re-
move Ross H. Wallace as
trustee for the defunct Share
holders Investment Corpora
ton, a local investment trust.
Mr.. Wallace has appealed the
referees report and has asked for
a review of the case.
It was charged in the report that
interests of the old Fletcher Ameri-
can National bank were adverse to
those of the bankrupt investment
trust and that as Mr. Wallace was
elected trustee by the bank officials
he should be removed.
The stockholders in the Share
holders Investment Corporation are
holding worthless stock due to the
alleged fraudulent transactions, it
was charged.
Wallace Is Assailed
The fact that the Fletcher Amer
lean National bank is the only
creditor of the bankrupt investment
trust presents an understandable
reason why creditors are not active
in asserting their rights" Mr.. Kelso
asserts in his report. a.
Mr.. Wallace has shown no dis
position to act to help stockholders
recover their money, it was charged.
The Shareholders Investment Cor
poration was organized in 1929 by
the Fletcher American Company,
which held the power to acquire
and dispose of its assets, it was
learned.
The referees report charges that
at least six of the nine directors of
the investment trust also we're
directors of the Fletcher American
Company at the time.
Market Value Estimated
Some time prior to July l, 1881,
the Fletcher American Company
saw immediate danger of insolvency
and its capital became impaired.
Mr. Kelso alleges.
Although the officers and direC-
tors of the company knew of the
financial difficulties, they entered
into a contract with the Share
holders Investment Corporation
whereby the Fletcher American
Company purchased all stocks, bonds
and securities Of the trust, the re-
port also charged.
The assets of the trust at that
time had a market value of approx
imately $1,350000, the report states.
Paying for the assets through
what the referee terms "a series Of
unsecured promissory notes" eXecut-
ed by the company, officials Of the
Fletcher American Company took
over and disposed of all the secur-
tiles thus purchased, it is alleged in
the report.
Notes Worthless, is Claim
On Nov. 7, 1882, the Fletcher
American Company was thrown
into receivership.
AS result, the Shareholders In
vestment Corporation held worthless
notes as its only assets, Mr. Kelso
charges, making its common stock
worthless, and on Nov. 26, 1882, the
corporation was declared bank
rupt.

actions under circumstances and
conditions outlined above" the re-
port alleged The Fletcher American
Company, its officers and directors.

and it's shareholders.
The Indianapolis Bond and Share
Corporation was organized Nov. 7,

THIS is the name of very distin-
= guished family, an ancient one In
England before its connection with
Ireland.
The name itself is derived from
Chichester, town in County Sussex,
England, which received its name
from the old Saxon name of Cissan-
ceaster-Cissa, from the son of
Aella," who settled the kingdom OF
the South Saxons, and coaster Cor
Chester, a modified form of the old
Roman word castrum, meaning sta
ton. Chichester, the result, signified
the City Of Cissa."
Sir Rodger Chichester. the first
known ancestor of the family, was
knighted at Calais in the twelfth CEN
tury. From him issued a long line
of notable descendants.
The American family of this name
was founded in Virginia by Richard
Chichester, who descended from the
ancient house of Chichester in County
Devon, England.
Richard came to Virginia in 1902
and settled in Lancaster County.
Chichesters have intermarried with
the most prominent families Of the
South, among them the Balls. Ma
sons and McCartys.

dropped, hiding her eyes and giving
her demure. childish look, the other

her business-like air.

Driving into town Judith, silent for
the most part. asked her friend one
question-''How did it happen that
you didn't frighten Lampere out of
handling the case at all?"
Couldn't. Didn't dare interfere
with the pursuance of justice and
he knew it. He also knew that I was
the only one who had overheard his
talk with Maritellan, and it would
take real proof to convict either one
of anything; proof I wasn't ready to
produce"
They reached the court house. Judith
looked up at the gray stone building
Thought of how many times she had
gone with ella to "sit-in" on case.
1t had been interesting, more fascinat-
ing than any theater.
Judith heard the whispers, they
burned into her ears and she Won
dered if they weren't scared on her
heart as we'll.
There she goes d. that's her, the
millionaire stenographer
A flock of photographers de-
scended on them-"Clia, will she pose,
Mrs. Dale. do you mind?"
"Of course, she'll pose and you.
Mrs. Cunard?" asked ella, do you

Judge Morgan and Justin Cunard
who had driven in behind them, came
up and escorted them to the room in
which the will contest was to be held.

"Oh, by the way, when does the
case open?"
This morning, at 10 O'Clock.
This morning." grasped Judith
why didn't you tell me?"
Didn't want you to develop any
nerves waiting for the ordeal. And
Miss Judith, it's apt to be that. Lam

But aren't there things I should

You're news" ella contributed,
but thanks to Canfill'S desire to mur-
der his wife, the rest of the sheets
overlooked the date. We are carrying
a story this morning"
"As for you knowing things and do
ing things" said Judge Morgan, all
you need to do is act natural and you
know all that is necessary for you to
know"

ella Sanford, sitting in an ante room
when Lampere's in action.

went to her room. She asked Delphy
to bring a smart street frock she had

ignored it and looked on, past Mrs.
Bevins' frigid poise, to Lampere. He
was debonair, smart in a meticulously
tailored suit, conscious of the power
which had come flowing in through
the wells in Scathbor9e's field. He
seemed to personify success.
He had been talking to Mrs. Bevins.
Now he stood looking over the men
who had been called on the jury
panel.
A reporter came up and he leaned
over to speak to him with Just the
right degree of affability and serious
ness.
Judith looked at Judge Morgan, a
bit fat, bit careless about the press
of his clothes, gold-rimmed spectacles
balanced unsteadily on his long nose.
What chance had he against Lam
pere?
ella Sanford was motioned into
another room and a moment later
came warning hush, the judge came
out of his chambers and assembled the
bench. Not Maritellan, visiting judge
from another county.
