ON PAPEfl Restaurant Keeper Brings Suit Against New York^Bank. ASKS 0IVI8EN0S ON STOO^ Shares issued to G^eat-Grandfaiher Century Ago are Discovered in Copy of Spenser's “Faerie Queene” by Genealogict Delving Into Behavior of Somebody’s Ancestors—Bank Has Undergone Many Changes in Name and Ownership. A scrap «f paper lay unkno\^^l to five generations of custodians between the i)age.s of a faded old copy ol Spenser’s I'aerie Queene. A alogist deivlnj' into the behavior of aoniebody’s ancestors came u^:;u the neglected trille, and found it uad been gathering intei-est for nearly a htin- dred years. The surprised heir to the bonanza, a restaurant keeper of moiierate means, values the scrap at more than §500,(XXV He has so far been supported in bis claim to the document by the courts. The rei>uted fortune is embodied in a certilicate of sixty-seven shares of stock in the Mechanics Bank of New York, left by Thomas Williams, who died in Ne\v York In 1822. Alfred Watkins Seymour, a small restaurant keeper of Seattle, Wash., has to date established his ciaim In the local courts as the sole heir to the stock, ft decision handed down by Justice Robert F. Warner, of the Supreme court, adding strength to tlie validity of tlie document. Demands Unpaid Dividends. Seymour, through his attorney, Eli jah N. Zoline, asserted that the stock at the time of his great-grandfather’s death, liad a par value of $100 a share and a market value of about $200, or about ?13.rKX) for the sixty-seven sliarcs. Tlie stock of tlie Mechanics and ilcntis National Bank of tlie City of N* \v York, which he asserts nierf'ly The alter ego of the original M»c’iauics Bunk, is selling today be- twt -SllST and a share. Se.Miiour now demands not only that the stock be honored liy the present bank, but also the unpaid dividends since 1S23, which he says will bring tlie total value of the certificate up to more than lialf a million dollars. Seymour obtained possession of the prized piece of paper in 1910. Through a strange series of circumstances it had dropped out of sight soon after the death of his great-grandfather. It was aiTidentally discovered by the genealogist in the household of a family in Troy, N. Y., v.liero Seymour had had a sister and an aunt. His sister dl»*d some time ago. The genealogist who made the dis covery, according to Mr. Zoline, Sey mour’s attorney, is H. S. Enyart. of loO We.st 120th Street. Enyart. it appears, was looking up another family’s his tory when he was n'ferred to Dr. Wil liam I’ieroe Seymour, of Troy, for in- formatif>n in fvrmectloii with his quest. It was while going through the doctor’s papers and heirlooms that the genealogist came upon the certilicJite of stock in an old copy of Six'nser’s work. It developed that Mrs. Seymour, the v.ife of the physician, was a direct descendant of Thomas Wiliiinns. Al fred Watkins Seynmnr Is her son. No Accounting Ever Made.
