I then received several calls from Edgar Jones and his wife asking for extensions of time to pay the money but once again I referred them to you since you are their attofney and I told them that I would not enter into any agreement with them for an extension of time. Therefore,I would certainly appreciate it if you would contact Edgar Jones and advise him that if any offer is to be made, it should be communicated between the attorneys.I have not been authorized to enter into any agreement where an extension of time is involved.In addition~I believe that the proof that we placed into evidence on Tuesday,February 6,1973,regarding our claim, was indisputable.It is my opinion that the Court on March 7,1973 at 1:30 will find in favor of WPNB and against the Estate of Bessie Jones. Unless your clients,are willing to settle this matter, in full,on that date,I will have no alternative but to request the Court's permission to place this property for sale in order to pay the debts of the Estate. Please be kind enough to contact me sometime prior to March 7,to advise if your clients,Mr.and Mrs.Edgar Jones,or the two executrixes,Mildred M.Jones and Ruth N.Hunter,intend to satisfy the claim of WPNB without the necessity of a sale. Thank you for your cooperation and I trust that you will advise Mr.and Mrs.Jones to address all further communication to me through you. .I 'I'",.

In reviewing the file on the estate of Bessie Jones,I found addition- al debts of the estate that you failed to take on your original statement of debts and deductions.Incidently,these were never approved by the Registers Office and consequently you were billed on the gross estate. However,since the original debts were never approved it was an easy matter to simply add to the existing debts of $1,928.02 without you going to the inconvenience of filling supplemental debts and deductions.The additional debts are a Department of Public Assistance Claim for $268.73 and a Judicial Settlement in the amownt of $3,100.00 due Equibank.This makes for a total of $5,296.75,in debts against an estate of $3,500.00,thereby rendering the estate insolvent with no taxes due and owing the Commonwealth,except- 'ling of course in the event that additional assets may be discovered some time in the future.These debts~re approved on Friday morning,July 16, "1976,and upon entering the debts in the Inheritance Tax Docket,I dis- covered that you paid taxes in the amount of $293.02 on July 13,1976.

Under th~circumstances,the Court has had a pre-hearing conciliation conference with all the parties,and the Court is satisfied that the best way to handle this matter is in ·the following manner: This estate has as personal represen- tatives Mildred Jones and Ruth Hunter.Ruth Hunter, to this time,and a~has been noticed by the Court,has not been able to function properly as a representative of this estate,for some reason which the Court is not aware of.The Court does know that she lives in New Castle,some distance away from Washington County, and perhaps that is th~reason she has not cooperated. In any event,the Court is of the opinion that Mildred Jones,nonetheless,is'a personal representative,and she has,to the best of her ability,along with ber attorney,Mrs.Schulberg"cooperated in every manner in attempting to resolve the various differences that have arisen in this matter. 3 ., II The Court will now set forth what the Court believes to be a fair and equitable way of settlin this matter to the satisfaction of all concerned. First,the Court will give Mildred Jones until March 1st,1975 to come up with the'sum of $31 00.00.' f /1 Gusky,w)iO ~ judgment It is the u~derstanding of the Court that Mr. ~;'~.~ I .•represents·.Equihank;will ass~·ign~the Equibank.: .~.'.I ..~I ~,"i"~""".....~..'l .'..--J'.......',"-~~J.-..-""..t fr ~_-r t ~..._'.f -.;,..-#,• or .secure the'proper'~x~cuti~n of pap'er\i;which will,in effect,legal1;:~ssign the Equibank judgment to fl'_..fi"'~..'"~'• Mildred Jones if she.is,.able't'o',sec'ure the sum of $3l00.PO to purchase said indebtednes·s\....··~'l'~':".l'1 '.\ Number two,if Mildred Jones is unable to secure the $3100.00 between now and March 1st,it is the understanding of the Court that Mildred Jones will agree in her capacity as a personal representative to sign the necessary petitions to have the said property sold to persons by the name of Cooper for the sum of $5,000.00.It is the understanding of the Court that the Coopers will consent to the arrangement of allowing Edgar Jones and Dorothy Jones,Edgar's wife,to live on said property during their natural lifetime.But,of course,at the conclusion of their lifetimes,that said persons will no longer have any interest in said proper y, that is via their heirs,executors,representatives or assigns. Further,it is the understanding of th Court that if this proposed private sale between the c: personal representative of this estate and the Coopers, John Cooper and wife,is,not consummated for whatever re son, inasmuch as the Coopers are not presently here before th Court,it fs the understanding of the Court that Mr. Gusky will be given the permission of the Court to proce d to sell by executionon~he judgment held by his client, Equibank,N.A.,formerly Western Pennsylvania National Bank ., (At the direction of Mr.France,off-the-record discussi n was not recorded by the .stenographer). THE COURT:At the conclusion of the last sentence set forth on this record by the Court,Mr.France asked the ,Court to go off the record.Now the Court is back on the record and the Court will take a suggestion that was presented by Mr.France to this effect:that the personal representative,Mildred Jones,will sell to any party,whether it be the 'Coopers or not,provided a firm agreement of sale as a prelude to the filing of a petition is 'consummated within five ,days after March 1st,1975.Now the Court means this:that if any person who has $5,000.00 and is willing to purCh.ase this proper y ,I I~',,I ~;. at private'sale·will.lsiJn<"an/~gr~emeni,'wifhi;'fhe per sanal 'I ,,.t ,"f ".'.'.•...~,f .'f ' •(f."•••(:..'.'",..~'t "~.I ••...!),,:J'.......t/U .'.:"• representative,that,they will enter into such an ag!eement, ',whoever they may other objections be,the·C6urt will tentatively,unless ,•I '...."""I .r".,..;,.''"I }..1,are forthcoming ·t'1iat~,t"the Court does not ., f f :J..... ~' understand at the moment,will approve the sale of this' property to a private person,whoever he or ·she may be, provided that a tentative agreement of sale is entered into within five cays after March 1st.

It was said in the record in the Court~proposed settlement uf this matter that you would accept the sum of $3100.00 in payment of the indebtedness and costs due Equibank,if the same were presented to you on or before March 1st.Would you accept this amount of money and could you secure the transfer of this indebtedness to ,f\ Miss Mildred Jones in the event that she produces the $3100.00? MR.GUSKY:Your Honor,on behal~of Equibank,I agree to accept the sum of $3100.00:if p~id on or before March 1st,1975 to compromise Equibank's claim against tle estate,due to the fact of our discussions this morning with regard to the priority of liens involved in this matter.And it is felt at this time that to save furthe expense and time,and further litigation costs and execu~ion costs,that Equibank would perhaps come out as good if not better by accepting Miss Jones,Mildred Jones'offer of $3100.00.for a complete compromise of this sum. And Equibank would,in fact,then upon receipt of the money,assign both judgments to Mildred Jones for any interest that she may want.

Since that time,we have done everythi g humanly possible to try~o get this matter resolved, tell the,Court a little bit of what " ..Edgar Jones,who is the tertenant •I I ,.fIIl'-'._~I on the PJ.operty,;';h..9.sf"heen,I think,through four or ------------------ , five different attorneys,starting with Lloyd Woodward, Dennis Jackie Bergstein from Monessen was involved in this for a period of three months. who unfortunately couid;not continue,Melvin,Bassi,,-.~ ..~""fi '-':"'';.'1'(·;twho wa:s on,'the case'for 'eight ,pr n:i,'rie months.,We sent ,..Job:I .../f ..l-_~~Ijf_~.J,t_..~~'1;/t·~',"t \.~,ft _.,to I +..',":"t.~'.;"."...". moriey for a surveyuand0tried to get the two ,executrice c ,.r~:t".,;,,.~.. and de:v~sees to,sell:<the property or deed over the- ,"'1:-\,f t ',t ~•••~• property,to Ed g'ar .J one s .~ Z,<~>-IIIZ ZIIIII, , 1'.. i0l-e>z x:III<~ ..:~ll:I-IIIQe...~~0 :J., :t.."til aill:IIIl-ll: 0II, IIIll: l-ll: :J0U...< 0 ii: IL 0 e Harrington was involved in this'for a period of four months.Austin Murphy was involved in this very brieflJ the last few weeks.And Attorney Shire's office callec me three days ago to see what can be done.And nothin§ can be don~,Your Honor,in this instance except payment. The ~xecutrices have done nothing whatsoever with regard to liquidating the real estate, which is the only asset in the estate,I believe.And I think we are the only creditor that hasn't been paid.What we have is a piece of property,we h~ve an existing judgment in the amount of $3,661.00 as of July 17"1972. THE COURT:Is that currently the payoff sum? MR.GUSKY:There is interest on that.The bank told me there is additional $439.00 interest on that. $3,661.00 was the figure as of July 17,1972.There 5 is about $430.00 interest that has accumulatedoon these two judgments.We feel that there is no recourse in this matter except an execution against th estate property~ Now I'd like to discuss with the Court a little bit about the 'property.The property was valued'at"an extremely low figure.Mr.Woodward put that in the Inventory.The property was SUbsequently ~~'.appraised by Mr.Ba ssi and'a'real e state appraiser ,.,:/It .•-'J ".'"...~~~.....,...~/~'ti",..~..._'!._IY ,II t ',",_"~"i ,{:~...-apd.S1~bsequently~",~:ppraiseCltby..W.P'.N .:.B//and we feel the property is certainly much more valuable than that ~,, which 4e.'.plac,e~a~"a va,lue in the account and'Inventor • \'-(,,,~.'~I 't ,..'
