The statement explains the John Zimmerman vs. F. Effinger case on exceptions to the executor's report. The plaintiff argues Effinger was indebted as executor for ice and beer sales, while Effinger contends these were not executorial. The court found Effinger liable for 2835.10, with credits totaling 2301.24, leaving 533.76. 80 attorney fees reduced the balance to 453.76. Distribution to Anna of 315.13 was improper, with debts to be paid first, leaving 140.63, and trustee John Zimmerman received the buggy and personal property.
The court ruled that the property in question should belong to the estate, despite Effinger's claim that it was connected to the ice and beer business. The decision clarifies ownership and reallocates assets accordingly.
