Court Voids BeIair
Sale to zeckendorf
Open, Sealed
Bidding for
Estate Ordered

Slain millionaire william
Woodward, jr.'s, Belair estate
was almost back on the open
market today, after a court rul-
ing knocked out a $1,187,000 sale
contract.
Judge Charles Marbury de-
clined late yesterday in Prince
Georges County Circuit Court to
ratify the contract between Will
liam zeckendorf and executors
and trustees of the late Mr..
Woodward's estate.
After declaring that trustee,
Hanover Bank Of New York City.
had been negligent in negotiat-
ing sale of the 2,280-acre prop.
erty near here. the jurist de-
creed:
l. Belair must be subjected to
open, sealed bidding.
g. All bids must be opened in
court 80 days after he signs an
official order voiding the Zeck-
endorf contract.
3. Any responsible bid must be
considered, following proper pub
licizing of the impending sale.
Mr.. Zeckendorf. internation-
ally known real estate developer,
signed the Belair contract on
october 10, 1856. But before
that date. the trustees of Belair
were notified by William j.
Levitt. another famous builder,
that he was interested in the
sprawling former stud farm.
Others Sought Talks
Norman L. Adolf, a third large
scale developer, and William T.
Hannah, spokesman for Wash
ington syndicate, also tried in
vain to discuss the property with
Hanover Bank officials before
October 10, Judge Marbury noted.
Remarking that the trustees
should "have exhausted all pos
sible means Of securing the high
est price obtainable' for Belair,
the judge added:
The bank failed in that duty"
Bank officials had testified, on
the first day of the two-day court
session in Upper Marlboro, that
they did not negotiate with pros
pective bidders after September
25, 1856. because on that date
they agreed to Mr.. Zeckendorf's
terms Shopping" his bid would
have been a break of ethics. they
said.
Mr.. Levitt assured the trustees
from the witness stand on Thurs
day. that he would be willing to
pay 81 5 million for Belair, where
champion horses like Omaha,
Gallant Fox and Nashua once

Mr.. Adolf also offered. in writ
ing. to pay a higher sum than
Mr.. zeckendorf. He submitted
a check for STA million

80 Days to Appeal
Although counsellor Mr.. Zeck-
endorf did not note an appeal
of Judge Marbury's ruling yes
terday. the jurist said an appeal
could be registered any time
within 80 days.
The court case developed
when the Woodward trustees
asked the court to ratify their
contract with Mr.. Zeckendorf.
The judge appointed Wilmer D.

Prejudicial Error Found
Judge Homer Ferguson ruled
there was prejudicial error IN
the law officers failure to in
struct the court martial boarc
that Swain could be found
guilty of the lesser offense Of
absence without leave. rather
than desertion.
In a dissenting opinion, Judge
George w. Latimer said:
This was a wartime absence
commenced after (Swain)
heard his unit was going for
ward. He was gone for approxi-
mately IL years, and in spite
of his professed intent, he had
to be returned by French police
who apprehended him as q
deserter he had ample OPP
portunity to surrender.
There are cases where ac-
tions speak so loudly that
statements Of future intent are
hollow, and this just happens
to fall in that category"
