Trust Case on Vanderventer Ward Seeks Return of Property
Judge Allen weighs a guardianship suit filed by Indiana Trust Company, guardian for Margaret Vanderventer, seeking to cancel a deed to Oscar F. Mann made while she allegedly lacked sound mind. Testimony from Fisher links a $1,500 loan and a mortgage tied to the disputed trade for a saloon lease and fixtures, prompting questions on capacity to deed and mortgage. A parallel suit in Judge Leathers's court involves Vanderventer selling saloon fixtures to Charles Davis and George Seibert, with claims she was unsound then and questions of misused funds remain.

John Wilhelm, husband of Leona Wilhelm the murdered woman on White River, warned Judge Walker he will challenge legal orders after leaving the workhouse. He owns a third of a truck farm with his wife’s share, and Marion Trust Company administers the estate to cover funeral and tax debts. A purchaser backed by the trust would accept Wilhelm’s deed only if genuine, but Wilhelm now refuses, claiming past insanity and holding the house key, planning to return home and defy court orders. He also threatens the probate official, saying he will bear responsibility if the property is sold.
