Creditors in Feiner Bankruptey Vote to Accept that Settiement. 1t is ex] position cted that the offer of com- n the Feiner case will go throt and that the estate will be qui wound up unless something new turns up to prevent, as the exam- ination of witnesses conducted by At- torney George E. Hinman before Ref- eree in Bankruptey in the board of e rooms Tuesday, tended to indi- cate. - There has been no particular evidence .brought out in any of the hearings that . there has beén any crookedness in any of the clalms pre- sented against the estate, and If such were the case in a few instances, it ‘Wwouid not materially change the result, as ‘the majority of the creditors have Voted to accept the composition offer of 25 cents on the dollar. _Tuesday afternoon, the trustee, with his attorney, the referee, the bank- rupt, and the latter’s attorney, held a meeting to figure up the expenses and the preferred claims in the case. It is expected that the money to guar- antee these claims will e put up by Mr. Feiner and then he wiil go ahead and pay his creditors 25 cents on the dollar. Considerable time was spent by At- torney Hinman in examining Mr. Fei- ner and the most of the time was con- sumed in oueéstioning him with regard to the various notes. Mr. Feiner told of having but $200 in cash when he commenced business ‘In this city' and $2,000 in stock and he purchased $2,000 more ‘stock. He stated that he owed but 10 per cent, to his Providence creditors when he resumed business. At_the close of the hearing Attor- ney Hinman stated that the bankrupt had assisted the trustee in every way possible by going over the books and all the notes. The referee said that he saw no reason for prolonging the mat- t?r %nd therefore the hearing was closed. Peddlers Cart Attached for Bill. Constable Chauncey E.
