Middleton Bonds Fight Knickerbocker Case Deepens
The dispute centers on $1,000 gold bonds claimed to be in Knickerbocker Safe Deposit Company custody. Secretary Wesley Bigelow refused to release the bonds to Denis A Spielissy, acting for the New York Realty Corporation creditors, unless Middleton or his executor governs. Investigators reveal Middleton used fictitious company names, created the New York Realty Corporation in 1904, and never owned real property despite selling land to many creditors.
