58TH CONGRESS, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. REPORT
2d Session. f No.2603.
FRANKLIN PATTERSON.
APRIL 19, 1904.-Committed to the Committee of the Whole House and ordered to
be printed.
Mr. TIRRELL, from the Committee on Claims, submitted the following
REPORT.
[To accompany H. R. 11071.]
The Committee on Claims, to whom was referred the bill (H. R.
11071) for the relief of Franklin Patterson, beg leave to report the
bill favorably, with a recommendation that the same do pass with the
following amendments:
On page 1, line 7, erase words one thousand nine hundred and
ninety-two and substitute therefor the words one thousand one hun-
dred and forty-eight.
On page 1, line 9, erase word as.
On page 1, line 10, erase words caretaker of the property levied
upon and also to be.
On page 1, line 11, erase words interest, costs and expenses and
substitute therefor the words claim against the United States of
America.
The grounds upon which your committee report favorably upon the
above bill as amended are as follows:
The United States of America, through its War Department, pur-
chased the Pneumatic Dynamite Gun Company plant at Sandy Hook,
N. J., while subject to the lien and levy of an attachment issued on the
4th day of September, 1891, out of the court of common pleas of Mon-
mouth County, N. J., at the suit of one Eusebius W. Arrowsmith, jr.,
against the Pneumatic Dynamite Gun Company, under which attach-
ment said Franklin Patterson filed a claim for wages, as a preferred
creditor of said company.
The claim of Eusebius W. Arrowsmith, jr., the plaintiff in attach-
ment was settled, but the applying creditor has never been settled
with, and under the laws of New Jersey he would have the same rights
as the plaintiff to enforce this lien; and no settlement of the plaintiff's
claim would settle the applying creditor's claim. In the year 1897,
Frederick Parker, esq., as auditor in said attachment suit advertised
the sale of the property attached.
