14 MUCH TANGLED AFFAIR l

i

In Which Marion County People areInterestedDifficulties that Besetthe Receiver of the Defunct StPetersburg State Ban-

kS Petersburg Time July 25

If there is any one thing that someSt Petersburg people have done morehllc ring about and know less aboutthan the affairs of the busted old StPUr burg State Bank we have never heard of it and as tlwra lots just

I occurred a new wrinkle that meansn Ire delay in the final settlement itnay not bv space wasted to publish abrief history of the situation I

Receiver Trice and his attorney-Col B Ii Gunby once upon a timecame to St Petersburg to try to makethe people unde >stand it but partieswho were then about to establish asecond bank here as a rival of MrTrices didnt want the people to un-derstand

¬

nd turned the meeting intoa farce by attacking Mr Trice instead-of

I

prrinitting the audience to listenand try to understand Since when-we

I

guess Receiver Trice and AttorneyI

Gunny havent cared much whetherthe people of St Petersburg under-hand

¬

or not but they have certainlybeen sawing wood trying to get some-thing

¬

out of that old Globe PhosphateMin for the depoJtors Probably-any other receiver with a less bumpof determination stubbornnessand any other less tenacious attorneywould have petered out long ago andbeen licked but as it is they still ex ¬

pect to get a very fair sized chunk ofmoney for the depositors

Occasionally an angry depositorstill jumps at Receiver Trice and onewrote him the other day that an at-torney

¬

was about to be employed toget after him to which Mr Tricereplied that he hoped it would be done-as by the time the depositors wadedthrough the labyrinth of legal actionsinvolved in the case they would know-so much more than they do nowwhich would be a good thing allaround

Away back In ilte long ago John-A Bishop organized the Globe Phos ¬

phate company by persuading a num-ber of Marion and Citrus county mento put their lands into a jackpot andaccept in lieu chipsliterally chips-or

I

shares in the company for whichthey never received a red cent Bishopcontrolled the company and Issuedagainst the lands 200000 mortgagebonds With these bonds he didvarious tricks some 20000 of themgoing to Banker Agnew of Ocala at20 cents and being turned into hisbank by him at 100 centsfor whichamong other things Banker Agnewlater went to the penitentiary Somewere sold to the St Petersburg StateBank which Bishop also controlledWhen Agnews bank busted a courtorder permitted the purchase of theAgnew stock by the St Petersburg-bank ami in one way or another itfinally b came owner of all of the sto ¬

len goodsThen Bishop who was the St Pe-

tersburg¬

bank wanted to foreclosethe mortgage and get the lands butas he had swindled the original own ¬

ers out of their property he knew itwould be impossible to foreclose withease and lispatch through the courts-of that Bishop was a resourcefuf i1Rs an dproceeded to buy-a half Interest in the acres of land inPasco county which under the com ¬

panys charter he was able to Include-in the companys lands and whichthen enabled him to begin foreclosureproceedings in this circuit Which hedid For this important job he em-ployed

¬

ThoR M Shackleford and NB K Pettigill two Tampa lawyersagreeing that they should receive 15000 for it Old creditors and nu-

merous¬

other claimants fought it butthe case was won by BIshopor theSt Petersburg bankthe legality ofthe 5aere deal was established andthe jurisdiction of Judge Wall and adecree of sale was issuedwhichShackleford and Pettingill did not failto see contained a cinch for their

oOOO-

An l there the matter stood whenthe bank busted Mr Trice was ap-pointed

¬

receiver and Mr Gunby asI his attorney got into the gamei Cleaning up all other odds antiend Mr Trice had some 7000 and

I the Globe Phosphate mine as the only I

possible things in sight for the de-positorsI and the first thing that came

I up in the mine case was the demandof Shackleford C Pettingill for their

I 15000 Me srs Trice and Gunbydidnt want them to have so muchfor the reason that it was an exor-bitant

¬

charge that Shackleford had I

earlier in the game agreed to a set-

tlement at 7500 and the depositorsI

needed the moneyThe story of the legal maneuvering

that followed would fill a book andnone but a lawyer could write or un ¬

derstand itbut Shackleford and Pet ¬

tingill stuck for 15000 and the courtdecree awarding it could not be gotaround Mr Trice desired to sell themine but Shackleford S Pettingillwould not permit a sale until theyfirst received their 15000 and there

I was nothing to pay it with and MrTrice didnt want to pay it anyway

Mr Trice had not made his regularreports at thTs time because he hadsome money from the wreck that thecourt would not permit him to pay thedepositors yet and he didnt want the I

fact known because Shackleford CPettingill were watching to swoopdown unon it Finally they decided tosmoke him out and began proceedings-to compel himto report and demandIng his removal as receiver Thiswill be remembered by those St Pe-tersburg

¬

depositors who chuckled so

much at the time thinking that MTrice was to get it In the neck whenit reality it was themselves Forced-to show up Mr Trice admitted havingsome 7000 and the court promptlyordered it handed over to Shacklefcrd-

PettingHlcC And it wentThen the mine being the only re

srurte for the balance of their 15000Sliu rleford Pettingill became as-a xini = as anybody for a sale KnowIng that the property would not bring-a price at a forced sale Mr Triceasked permission to buy it receiverwhich petition was granted by JudgeWall and Receiver Trice became theowner

Ard then other troubles came inOne Williamson representing a bunch-of the original land owners who wer-eo roundly swindled flied some kindof suit asaint Receiver Trice AndMr Wnltrr RaY of Ocala or someother seaport a man of means anddetermination who claimed to hawbought the land or some or it atsome time and got a deed for it andnot having been made a party to theforeclosure still owned them alsofiled same action against ReceiverTrice and this Mr Ray is the manwho has hold un the f eai ever sinceShackleford Pettingill were fixedup I

Mr Ray has as nrs attorney MrBob Anderson of Ocala who is about-as keen as they make them anti whathe and Ray havent thought of doing-to hold that mine they will probablythink of later Shrcvd efforts weremade to get Judge Bullock of theother district in charge and the latttronce appointed another receiver anddid other things and his procedure-was reversed by the supreme courtseveral times accompanied by sharpreprimands-

Mr Trice finally negotiated a saleof the mine to Mr W X Camp ofOcala for 35000 conditioned ofcourse upon being given a good titleand peaceable possesion no penny ofthe money to be paid to the depositors-until these terms should be carriedout Mr Trice has the money andafter several fights in which several-of Mr Trices agents were arrested-and jailed Mr Camp has been putin possession but the title is not yetsettled

Mr Trice has won successive suitsfrom Ray only to be met by new onesSometime ago tired of these amended

> bills Mr Gunby asked Judge Bullock-to throw the latest one out whichwas done Ray promptly appealed tothe supreme court which sustained-him and the matter is once more open-In the lower courts

Mr Rays latest bill which theTimes man was permitted to see inMr Gunbys office the other day goesway back and sees to wipe out ev-erything

¬

pertaining to the St Peters ¬

burg hank charging fraud in that 5acre jurisdiction deal and in mosteverything else that John A Bishopdid Mr Gunby was preparing a de-

murrer¬

to the bill and is confidentthat he and Mr Trice will eventuallywin out for the depositors bur he can ¬

not say when probably when the su ¬

preme court tires of permitting Ray-to file amended hills

In the meantime it would be onlyfair as well is sensible for St Pet-ersburg people to remember that MrTrice is a servant of the courts andabsolutely powerless to dispose of acent of the money in his charge ex-cept

¬

by order of the court and nosuch order will come until Mr Campstitle to the mine is made good
