In Baltimore courts, Trapier S. Lewis and Grace Lee Martin sue for a share of the proceeds from the sale of General George Washingtons sword. The weapon, bought by J Pierpont Morgan and given to Mount Vernon, was deposited with Mercantile Trust. Plaintiffs seek an accounting of Captain Henry Howell Lewis estate and dispute the sale price, alleging the sword was worth far more than the $3,000 listed. Washington wore the sword at his resignation from the army.
