Marcus S. Rice, Mitchell avenue, applied to Probate Judge William H. Lueders, through Attorneys Sticker & Johnson yesterday, for an order compelling the Citizens National Bank, as administrator of the estate of John M. Anderson, late broker, who operated under the name of Anderson & Powell, now declared to be insolvent, to turn over to him a $1,000 Liberty Bond.
Rice says that on march 18 last, five days after the death of Anderson, he placed an order with W. S. Hill, in charge of the brokerage business, for the purchase of 100 shares of General Motors stock at 12 5/8, and deposited the bond for security. He says the stock was purchased, but before it was turned over to him, the bank, as administrator, declared that Hill was without authority to transact business for the estate, and the order by Rice was cancelled.
Rice says the stock purchased for him, then was sold at a profit, but the administrator still holds his $1,000 bond and refuses to return it to him.
