Federal court halts Georgia estate administrators bid
In Macon on March 2 Judge Emory Speer issued a federal injunction barring the ordinary of Oglethorpe County from appointing permanent administrators of the James M. Smith estate. Louisiana and Arkansas heirs led by Mrs. Lela Jennings seek a hearing in April at Augusta to determine heirs and avoid costly administration. The order also restrains all parties from acting on administrator appointments and directs preservation of assets until a federal ruling.
