GAINST LADfl
'Johnson Estate Heirs Accuse
Him of Wrecking the
Property.
PETITION HIS REMOVAL
Declare That as Trustee and Admin
istrator lie Has .Been False to
His Stewardship, All of
lyiilch He Denies.
The. petition of the Tieirs of A. H. John
son for the removal of William M. Ladd.
administrator, reveals a melancholy con
dition of affairs, and a sad shrinkage of
values In the 11 years that Mr. Ladd has j
been trustee for one part of the estate, (
and in the seven years that he has been
both trustee and administrator.
From the looks of things, the heirs will
got little or nothing after debts and ac
crued Interest shall have been paid to
the creditors, chief of whom Is the bank
of Ladd & THton. whose Interest, much
of It at 10 per cent, has been running
nearly a dozen years, through failure or
noglect of Mr. Ladd to pay the debts of
the estate and thus protect the heirs.
As things stand, it will be remarkable
if the estate, which was appraised at
nearly $800,000 11 years ago, and which had
debts of less than 5300,000. will amount to
much or anything after absorption by in
torost shall have stopped. If that time
dhull ever come.
Vast Estate's Biff Loss.
When A. H. Johnson died in 183. he
signed a deathbed trust deed, conveying to
William M. Ladd. In trust, realties ap
praised later at $422,100, to be devoted to
paying Johnson's debts, the residue to be
turned into the estate. The rest of the
estate, outside the trust, was appraised
at $370,452.
Thus Johnson, as the sands of lifo
wore running out, divided his estate Into
ivo parts, one of them In trust to W. M.
Ladd. to be used for meeting obligations;
the other to go to the heirs. Johnson did
this so that his heirs might be protected
from greedy creditors and litigants, and
he thought that the part he conveyed to
W. M. Ladd In trust would stand between
the heirs and grasping creditors and liti
gants. The appraisement, made after
Johnson's death. Indicates that he thought
he was making ample provision for his
dobts; In fact, the appraisement of the
trust property exceeded the debts by 50
per cent.
Debts Draw Heavy Interest.
But, ever since A. H. Johnson drew his
last breath, his debts have been suffered
to draw Interest by Mr. Ladd. and Mr.
Ladd's explanation Is that he has been
unable to dispose of the trust properties
up to this time, without sacrificing the In
terests of the heirs. Therefore, the es
tate has lain between the devil and the
deep sea, as it were, one of the foes
being forced sale, the other Interest.
Since Johnson's death W. M. Ladd has
been trustee of the one part of the es
tate, and since 1898 has been adminis
trator of the whole. Prior to 1S9S Mrs.
Cordelia Johnson, wife of A. H. Johnson,
was executrix. After her death she was
succeeded by W. M. Ladd. It Is now al
leged by Mr. Ladd that much or the
plight of the estate is due to Mrs. John
son's administration, but the heirs aver
that Mr. Ladd was her chief adviser.
Heirs Make Complaint.
The heirs complain that they have no
knowledge of what property Is still in
trust, or what debts still hang against
the 'estate, or wnat Mr. Ladd. as trus
tee, has paid off. or what interest the
debts are drawing, and that, under ex
isting conditions, they cannot learn.
Therefore, they pray for removal of Mr.
Ladd as administrator.
-The petition of the heirs is now before
the Probafe Court, Mr Ladd has made
answer, and the attorney for the peti
tioners Is drawing up their answer. The
hearing of the case, therefore, has not yet
been set.
The most scathing arraignment In the
petition of Mr. Ladd's administration is
that which refers to the payment of a
$17,000 debt to Isam White, who In 1S94.
but a few hours before the death of A.
H, Johnson, attached the southeast quar
ter block at First and Taylor streets. The
property was sold on execution -sale, with
out Mr. Ladd's endeavoring to redeem- It,
though he appraised It at$35,000, and wad
brought in by a company"whlch the peti
tioners believe Mr. Ladd was Interested In
and which transacted no other business
before or after that time. The Johnson
homestead, which was also attached, Mr.
Ladd saved by lending the estate $16,000.
Thus, for meeting: a $17,000 debt Mr. Ladd
suffered the estate to lose a property
which he himself appraised at $35,000 and
caused the estate to incur a further debt
of $16,000. -
Allegations and Denials.
. In the. petition of the heirs and the
answer of Mr. Ladd, the following allega
tions are set forth:
Petition Said executrix (Mrs. Cordelia John
.eon) was hindered and delayed and unable to
settle the affairs of said estate by reason of
the peculiar relations existing between W. M.
Ladd, as trustee, and said estate.

and parcel of property at Its true and actual
value, was made at a time when real prop
erty was held at much less value than any
time since. v
Answer The appraisement In August, 1004,
was not made at a time when real property
was held at lesa value than at any time wince.
The appraisement made by TV. M. Ladd, ad.
mlnlstrator In 1699. was much less than that
In 1804 and the true and actual values did
not exceed the sums In the latter appraise
ment. Between the two there bad been a
steady shrinkage in values, especially In thoae
of real property. .
Petition W. M. Ladd has entirely failed to
provide for payment of Indebtedness of A. H.
Johnson, from the trust property, notwith
standing the plain duties and obligations im
posed on him In strict confidence by the con
ditions and terms of mid trust, or to relieve
the residue estate (not In trust) from any of
said Indebtedness, but has allowed all said
indebtedness to be filed and established Is
legal claims against said estate, to be en
'forced ac&lnst the residue estate which did
not enter Into the trust.
Answer It Is not true that "V. M. Ladd has
failed to provide for payment of such Indebt

Tllton for $189,128.04) were so filed and es
tablished against the estate, aggregating the
icum of 52Gt3.C09.01.

Ladd Intends to execute the trust.
Answer Denial.
Petition W. M. Ladd Is claiming to be the
absolute owner of all the real property in

east corner. First and Taylor, two lots and
the homestead between St. Clair and Ford
streets and to force execution sale of the
Flr street property, meanwhile pursuadlng

Petition The First street property was ap

days before the sale for the sole purpoe of
buying In said particular lot for speculation.
Said company shortly afterward sold the

Petition The secretary of the company who

Answer Denies that W. M. Ladd wrongfully
failed to redeem the property and averu that
at the time of the sale, he did not have
the means either as trustee or as adminis
trator, to redeem nor could he procure the
money without mortgaging or selling other

Petition In sacrificing a property appraised
at $55,000 and borrowing $16,004.48 all to get
rid of an honest debt of $17,000 W. Ladd
has failed to protect the Interests of the
estate and has acted solely in the interest o'qf
himself and of the banking firm of which he Is
a member. He is purjKsely prolonging hVi
administration.
Answer All acts and accounts In connection
with the trust property are open to ex
amlnatlon. M. Ladd did not desire to
serve as administrator, but was pressed to do
to by A. H. Johnson and the heirs assented.
Petition Th administrator has so neg
lected and mismanaged the estate that It
has greatly diminished In value from the
time that he entered upon his duties as such
administrator, notwithstanding that thero
has been marked appreciation In value of
like property!
Anstver There has been no,apprec!ation of
any consequence in like property until very
recently. Almost all the delay In closing
the estate has been ocrasloned by the low
price of the landed properties.
Petition The steady decrease In value of
the trim properties Is shown by the. follow
ing reports of Mr. Ladd. trustee: 189S.
$159,414; 1S99. $134,348; 1000. $110,112; 1001,

Ladd's, nor do his reports show any such loss
or diminution, lie has made sales as fast
as he could and whenever he could get a
reasonable price.
Petition In Washington County the ad
ministrator has been conducting a general
farming business at great loss to the estate
on lands which could have been managed
with much profit.
Answer Thp lands could ,not have been
leased to a competent and responsible per
son and more profitably managed. All
farming operations have been conducted un
der, supervision of a prudent, practical
farmer.
Petition Unless W. M. Ladd shall be suc
ceeded by some trustworthy administrator,
the Indebtedness and accruing Interest,
coupled with the manipulations, negleot and
mismanagement of the present administrator,
will soon entirely absorb whatet'er now re
mains of the estate, including the property
In trust.
Answer Denial.
Petition The administrator has been un
faithful and has neglected his trust In that
he has taken no steps to ascertain the con
dition of the trust property and has made no
effort to compel the trustee thereof to re
port his acts or to apply the trust property
to the extinguishment of the estate's In
debtedness, and notwithstanding Mr. Ladd
has been acting as administrator for nearly
seven years and as trustee for more than 11
years without any accounting, the adminis
trator has juletly permitted the trust inter
est and matter to slumber undisturbed with
out investigating orvlnqulring Into the acts of
the trustee, to the great loss of the bene
ficiaries of the estate.
Answer Denies and avers that as trustee
he has known at all .times the exact condi
tion of the property and has given his best
efforts to the management thereof, with the
view solely of the faithful execution of his
trust both as administrator and trustee, and
has sold large portions of the trust prop
erty and applied the proceeds to extinguish
ment of indebtedness and expense of man
agement. Petition The Reedvllle farm In Washing
ton County has been operated at great loss,
but If properly managed Is capable of pro
ducing large profits: Its expenditures have
been $0000 In excess of receipts.
Answer Denies mismanagement and the
loss of $6000. and rivers that the farm could

Petition Mr. Ladd appraised a city war
rant belonging to the estate as of no value,

administrator.

rant was a gain to the estate.
Petition Wherefore the petitioners ask
that the administrator be removed and some
trustworthy person be appointed in his stead.
Answer Wherefore Mr. Ladd asks that the
complaint be dismissed and that he recover
his costs and disbursements in this behalf ex
pended. In Aid of Miss Loubet,
