This Member of Failed House Is Said to 'Have Held Onto His Bank Deposits. It was intimated in court to-day that the estate of the late Supreme Court Justioe Henry Bischoff* might be levied upon to satisfy oreditors of Henry Bischoff & Co, bankrupt brokers, exporters and importers at No. 987 Broadway. Irving L. Ernst, attorney for the creditors, made known the Iikelihood of this course when he appeared in the United States District Court before Judge Hand this afternoon. He further de- clare! that though it had been al- wed that Judge Bischoff. retired from jthe firm several years Ago the depon- itors wore led to believe that he was &@ member of it up to the time of hin death last yoar. “Although William J, Becker and Henry 8. Merg, the partners named in the bankruptcy proceedings, as- wert that Bischoff sold hin interest to them,” persisted the lawyer. “I have every reapon to believe that Henry Bischoff at the time of hin death was still a member of the firm with William J. Becker, I expect to prove this and to connect the Bischoff estate with the partnership. We be- Neve we have ubstantial claim against the estate.” Mr. Ernst was petitioning Judge Hand to appoint Maurice Deiches, the present receiver in equity, as re- ceiver in bankruptcy. The petition was denied. “While Henry Bischoff & Co. and their bank, the Bischoff Banking House, Inc.,” seld Ernst in his con- tention, “accepted deposits and paid 3 per cent. on them, not @ dollar was Invested In any good security what- ever, but instead all the funds either went into the business or into the pockets of the co-partners, Recker and Meng.” ‘Tho lawyer also asserted that the |nction in equity brought by Carl Wittman, a clerk in the banking house, was a friendly action and that Wittman had no real claim. Ernst pointed out that Albert P. Massey, attorney for the partners, admitted that attorneys for the re- ceiver, for the partners and for the banking house were ail from Mas- sey's office and that Massey ar- ranged the suit. Willlam J. Becker had withdrawn in the National Park Bank, since the equity proceedings were instituted, Ernst asserted, and had checkad on it}an account in the German Exchange $ 3 I i z i (i ? i i ies | bn Ha fs i # ig ii Ef HE i 8 i ; : § | : H | z § i e ARE RESCUED.
