Asks Gruner to Resign

From Executorship in Estate of Joseph Ellis.

Hudson Ellis Files a Petition in the Probate Court Looking to This End.

A somewhat startling move has been made in the matter of the estate of Joseph Ellis.

Hudson Ellis, who objected to annual report of Leonard Gruner, the executor, on the ground that the estate had shrunk over $30,000, now comes into the probate court with a petition asking for the removal of Mr. Gruner from the position of executor. He reiterates the same reasons given in the objections to the annual account and says that, acting in the name of all the beneficiaries, he has since asked Mr. Gruner to resign but this he refuses to do.
