In Westchester County Supreme Court Sinclair Tomey seeks to recover from George Gordon Hanting executor of Rosa Tookey Hanting’s estate 24 shares of stock in a publishing corporation now held by Hastings as executor. Justice Wills heard arguments on the complaint and the case paused for briefs. The suit outlines that Hastings served as vice president since 1905 with a salary of 2000 yearly and alleged a late husband’s involvement in wills. The complainant claims an agreement between Mrs Hastings and Sinclair to transfer all her corporate interests to him after death if he managed affairs, while another will reportedly left all property to her husband. The proceedings reference past events in Philadelphia and abroad related to the Hastings estate.
