Judge Avery had barred City National Bank from disposing of stock and gold bonds tied to James Havens loan collateral.

McLaughlin once owned 25 shares American Chain stock, Mrs. M. Beach held Bethlehem gold bonds, and a 15 share holding of American Chain belonged to Havens’s unknown client. The modification aims to determine who receives the sale residue after bank funds are repaid.
