doylestown branch of the beading railroad to recover from the fidelity trust company and joseph sinnott who were tbe executors of bin father's estate the value of the stock etc taken by them and

their trust required them to do the defense will endeavor to show that albert h moore had by deed given to andrew m moore bis father the . personal effects not only at cloverdell but also those at the philadelphia house and that he occupied the premises only as a tenant in cross examination mr moore tes tified that after the trust company had taken possession tlie secretary told him that if he let the company dispose of his property he would not be compelled topavhis creditors and that he would still be entitled to one-third of the estate moore's reply was that is not my way of doing business he emphatically denied that there was any agreement to that effect the afternoon was devoted largely to a summing up of the defense which claimed that they acted with full notice to mr moore of the proposed disposi tion of his property n h larzelere counsel for the plaintiff reciting the line of rebuttal stated that he would prove by mr moore that while he was acquainted with the proposed sale of b*s property by the executors of his father's estate he also notified the executors that they did so at their risk for lie did not consent to the sale and would bold them in damages the case
