DAYTON DISMISSES !
THE WHITAKER SUIT
HOLDS THE DEFENDANT SHOULD
HAVE FURNISHED BILL OF
PARTICULARS.
Litigation Outcome of Controversy of
Estate of George P. Whitaker,
Dead Millionaire.
1 Judge A. U. Dayton oC the United
States district court yesterday morn
inn handed down his decision in the
equity suit styled .Martini E. Whit
aker. et al.. vs. the Whitaker-Hlessner
company, which was the outgrowth of
a controversy of the holdings of the
late George P. Whitaker, a million
aire. The plaintiff was a daughter
in-law of the deceased man.
Judge Dayton dismissed (he case.
He held that the attorneys, George II.
12. Gilchrist and John A. Howard, rep
resenting the defendant company,
were within their rights in demanding
,a complete' bill setting forth the facts
in the case. This the plaintiff failed
to do. In rendering his decision
Judge Dayton is without precedent in
the courts of America, but is sus
tained by rule 20, adopted by the Su
preme Court of the United States in
1911, authorizing such action in dis
missing such a case. His opinion
covers forty typewritten pages and
goes into detail of the litigation.
Numerous suits over the estate of the
late Mr. Whitaker are now pending
in Maryland district courts. Two liti
gations against his estate have been
carried to the United States supreme
court.
i The late Oporge P. Whitaker passed
away in 181)0, at Prindpio, Mil., leav
ing a will holding certain properties
in trust. A portion of the estate was
stock in the Whitaker Iron company;
this was to remain undisturbed. The
plaintiff, Martha E. Whitaker, a
j daughter-in-law of the deceased, set
forth in her declaration that the
? Whitaker Iron company was de
frauded of the Wheeling Corrugating
[company, and the suit was filed by
the plaintiff for the benefit of herself,
las well as the Whitaker Iron company
land other stockholders.
! The defendant company's attorneys
set forth in their declaration of facts
j that the plaintiff shared in the dis
tribution of .proceeds of the sale of the
! Wheeling Corrugating company made
I by the Whitaker Iron company to the
i Whitaker-Glessner company.
