The Wagner Suit

The Wagner Suit

Marion Collins & Co., of Chicago, by their attorney John W. Bennett, has filed a bill in aid of execution against Charles Wagner, formerly in the grocery business in Chicago. The defendant and all the collateral parties are well known in this county. The bill sets forth that Charles Wagner was indebted to the plaintiff in the sum of nearly $400 on a judgment. That Charles Wagner was the son of .John M. Wagner, of Scio, who died July 25, '97. That his son George M. Wagner was appointed administrator but has never done anything further than having the days for hearing claims set, and that no claims were presented on the said days; that Charles as such son, is entitled to one undivided seventh part of John M. Wagner's estate, estimated at $20,000; that the suit of Marion Collins & Co. was commenced by attachment on this undivided interest, the attachment being made May 21, 1898; that judgment was secured, but before an attachment execution levy could be made, Charles Wagner gave his brothers Reuben and George Wagner a deed dated May 24, 1899. This bill is therefore filed to have this deed set aside and the court declare that the attachment execution levy is a lien upon the undivided interest of Charles Wagner in his father's estate.
