August 25,1936,upon the death of Edward L.Stockdale,Co-Trw:tee,
U.Grant Miller of Washi ngton,Pennsylvania was named successc r
or altern ate individual trustee.Mr.Miller has decdned to serve
as evidenced by his letter attached to the Petition as Exhibit "A".
Under the trust indenture Anne Baker Weimer has Lie rightaat an
time or from time to time to change the individual and the cOrpore te
trustee named during her lifetime and has now exercised this righ
appointing William G.Stewart,SuccesSor Trustee,as evidenced
by letter marked Exhibit "BII.attached to the Petitio:l.Mr.Stewa tis
acceptance is attached to the Petition as Exhibit IIC I.
At this point,YOUr Honor,I·w auld like to poin
ou t that in connection with all of the Walter H.Baker Trusts,tre
trustees hold a large amount of stock of Cyclops Corporation.
Mr.William G.Stewart,of COurse,iliPresident of Cyclops COr-
poration.And there is a possibiLity in the future that there may bE
a conflict fof interest arise because of the holdings in the trust of
Cyclops stock.Now we have informed Anne Baker Weimer of thi~
fact and have explained it to her as well as w.e can.But she has
decided that she wants to appoint William G.Stewart as the
individual trustee.Welhave also explained this teo all of the
beneficiaries and all those who are interested in tiese various trt:fstS.
And I make this statement at this time because I think it should be
something of record as to these trusts and also want to say that
the Corporate trustee,the Union National Bank,has info rmed Mr
2

Stewart that if at any time it considers in any particdar question.
that what is good fOr the trust may not be good fOr the corporation

as the cOrporation sees it,nevertheless,the bank w:ll vote its sh~res

Company hereby transferred by the Grantor shall be sold
at any time without the consent in writing of a majority
in interest of the then beneficiaries of the trust created
by this indenture who are sui juris.[Emphasis added.]
11.Walter H.Baker deposited 1,000 shares of the
six (6%)percent preferred stock of Universal Steel Corporation
and no shares of said company's common stock at the inception
of the trust.Through the merger of Universal Steel Corporation
with Cyclops Steel Company on Decewber 23,1936,your Petitioners
!received 7,000 shares of the common stock of the successor
IUniversal-Cyclops Steel Company,now Cyclops Corporat~on.On
May 14,1937,Walter H.Baker deposited an additional 3,348 shares
of Universal-Cyclops Steel Company common stock.
12.Your Petitioners are advised and believe that
all or a substantial portion of the shares of common stock of
Cyclops Corporation now reta~ned as an investment in the subject
trust are impressed with the investment restriction contained in
said ARTICLE THREE which Walter H.Baker placed upon the shares
of preferred stock of Universal Steel Corporation which were
.initially deposited.
13.Your Petitioners are advised and believe that to
adhere to the direction of Walter H.Baker contained in ARTICLE
-4-
THREE of trust indenture that the Petitioners must gi~e notice to
and obtain the consents of "the then beneficiaries of the trust
created by this indenture who are sui juris"before any sales of
Cyclops Corporation common stock are made by the trus~ees.
14.Your Petitioners are advised and believe that your
Honorable Court has addressed itself in the course of the audit of
the Third Account to an interpretation of the same language,al-
though not that contained in ARTICLE THREE,but as used in ARTICLE
TEN of said trust indenture with respect to the ap?ointment of the
successor individual trustee.
15.Your Petitioners are advised and believe that be-
cause your Honorable Court has most recently addre3sec itself to
the interpretation of ARTICLE TEN of said trust indenture in the
course of the audit of the Third and Partial Account that a decree
I pursuant to Sections 831 and 834 of the Uniform Declaratory Judg-
ment Act providing for a hearing to interpret sUbstantially the
same language provides an expeditious and effective method to
establish the meaning of the subject language of ARTICLE THREE of
said trust indenture.
WHEREFORE,the Petitioners request your Honorable Court,
pursuant to Sections 831 and 834 of the Uniform Declaratory Judg-
ment Act to enter a decree directing all parties i~interest,
either in person or by their respective attorneys,to ~ppear be-
fore your Honorable Court,there to present oral argum:nt for the
determination by your Honorable Court as to the prcper interpreta-
tion of the phrase "the then beneficiaries of the trust created by
this indenture who are sui juris",as that phrase appears in
ARTICLE THREE of the trust indenture between Walter H.Baker and
Petitioner.

PETITION FOR DECLARATORY JUDm1ENT UNDER THE
UNIFORM DECLARATORY JUDGMENT ACT OF 1923,
AS SUPPLEMENTED AND AMENDED
TO THE HONORABLE,THE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:
\I
AND NOW comes Joseph Duncan Kniseley,individual trustee,
and The Union National Bank of Pittsburgh,corporate trustee,
under the trust indenture of Walter H.Baker dated August 25,
1936,for Tv'lalter v7eimer,hereinafter referred tOo as the
"Petitioners",by their attorneys Buchanan,Ingerso=-l,Rodewald,
Kyle &Buerger,and hereby present the following under Sections
831 and 834 of the Uniform Declaratory Judgment Act and Section
711(1)of the Pennsylvania Probate,Estates and ?iduciaries Code:
1.Walter H.Baker entered into an in~er vivos trust
indenture with Edward L.Stockdale and The Union National Bank of
Pittsburgh on August 25,1936.
2.A Second and Partial Account was f~led at No.311 of
1970.By a decree of distribution dated August 27,1970,the
~rust fund was awarded to William G.Stewart as successor indi-
vidual trustee and The Union National Bank of Pittsburgh as sur-
viving trustee for further administration and accounting.
3.A Third and Partial Account was filed ~t No.63-70-
311.A purpose of that account was to provide fer t~e distribu-
tion of the trust corpus into two separate continuing trusts,one
<''
for the benefit of Amy Anne Ritter and one for the benefit of
Walter B.Weimer,as successor life income beneficiaries and to
appoint a successor individual trustee to each such continuing
separate share to be retained in trust.
4.The said trust indenture provides in ARTICLE TEN
the governing language with respect to the appointment of co-
trustees as follows:
. ...a majority in interest of the then beneficiaries
of the trust created by this indenture who are sui juris
may at any time or from time to time upon filing their
request or election in writing change either or both the
individual and corporate trustee herein naned.[Emphasis
addeQ.].
5.By a decree of distribution dated June 25,1976,
the trust fund was awarded in separate equal shares as follows:
(a)a one-half share to J.Evans Rose,Jr.,the individual
trustee nominated by Amy Anne Ritter,life income b:neficiary of
such share,and consented to by Walter B.WeimeI,life income
beneficiary of the other of such shares,and The Union National
Bank of Pittsburgh;and (b)the other such one-half share to
Joseph Duncan Kniseley,the individual trustee nominated by
Walter B.Weimer,life income beneficiary of such share and whose
appointment was consented to by Amy Anne Ritter,li=e income
beneficiary of the other of such shares and The Union National
Bank of Pittsburgh.
6.Walter B.Weimer has requested the Petitioners:to
liquidate a portion of the common stock of Cyclo?s Corporation
retained as an investment in the share held in t.~ust in which
he is the sole life income beneficiary.
7.The trust provision under which said ~alter B.
Weimer's income interest and his issue's remainder interests
in the trust fund are derived is contained in ARTICLE ONE and
reads in part as follows:
-2-I
i
.,'
Upon the death of Anne Baker Weimer aforesaid,the
Fund shall be equally divided into as many parts as
there are children of Anne Baker Weimer surviving her,
and a separate trust with respect to each part shall
be continued for each of said surviving children of Anne
Baker Weimer.From the net income arising frcm each
of said separate trusts for the surviving children of
Anne Baker Weimer shall be paid an equal propcrtionate
part of the life insurance premiums on the policy or
policies on the life of David P.Weimer,Jr.,as afore-
said,and the remainder of the net income from each of
said separate trusts for the surviving children of Anne
Baker Weimer shall be paid to each child respe~tively
of Anne Baker Weimer,the beneficiary of said respective
trusts,not less frequently than quarter-yearly for and
during the period of his or her life.Upon the death of
each of said children of Anne Baker Weimer,respectively,
the trust as to such child shall terminate and the
Trustees shall thereupon pay over and deliver ~o the issue
of said child,in equal parts,the property then consti-
tuting said trust estate for his or her benefi~,together
with all accumulated or accrued income thereon.free from
all trusts,absolutely and in fee simple.In default of
issue of any child of Anne Baker Weimer surviv~ng at the
death of said child,said child's trust property shall
continue to be held in trust by the Trustees,in equal
parts,for the sisters and brothers of said child so
deceased,subject to the provisions of this incenture.
In default of issue and surviving sisters and brothers of
said child of Anne Baker Weimer so deceased,t~e property
held in trust for said child of hers so deceased shall
be paid over and delivered to their next of kir.of the
blood of Anne Baker Weimer as the laws of the Etate of
Pennsylvania would have been entitled to the same if
said child of Anne Baker Weimer had been legally seized
and possessed of his or her respective share of said
Fund in his or her own right and had died intestate,
and for this purpose said children of Anne Baker Weimer
shall be considered citizens of Pennsylvania without
regard to the place in which they shall reside ~t the
time of his or her death.As to any child of Anne Baker
Weimer who may be born after the date of the de~th of
the Grantor herein named,any property held in trust for
said child hereunder,together with all accumulated or
accrued income thereon,shall be paid over and delivered
to said child,free from all trusts,absolutely and in
fee simple,when said child shall have attained the age
of twenty-one (21)years,and the trust as to said child
shall then be terminated.If any property is held in
trust for any beneficiary hereunder or shall go to
persons who shall be less than twenty-one (21)years of
age,the income therefrom,or so much thereof as shall
be necessary,shall be paid over by said Trustees for
the maintenance,education and support of such minors.
8.Walter B.Weimer,the income beneficiary,has
at this time no issue.

9.Contained in ARTICLE THREE of the subject trust
indenture is the following language restricting the sale of the
preferred stock of Universal Steel.Company,predecEssor to
Cyclops Corporation:
No part of the preferred stock of Universal Steel
Company hereby transferred by the Grantor shall be sold
at any time without the consent in writing of a majority
in interest of the then beneficiaries of the trust created
by this indenture who are sui juris.[Emphasis added.]
10.Walter H.Baker deposited 1,000 s~ares of the
six (6%)percent preferred stock of Universal Steel Corporation
and no shares of said company's common stock at the inception of
the trust.Through the merger of Universal Steel Corporation
with Cyclops Steel Company on December 23,1936,your Petitioners
received 7,000 shares of the common stock of the successor
Universal-Cyclops Steel Company,now Cyclops Cor?oration.On
May 14,1937,Walter H.Baker deposited an additional 3,348
shares of Universal Cyclops Steel Company common steck.
11.Your Petitioners are advised and believe that all
~r a substantial portion of the shares of common stock of
~yclops Corporation now retained as an investment in the subject
~rust are impressed with the investment restriction contained in
said ARTICLE THREE which Walter H.Baker placed ~pon the shares
of preferred stock of Universal Steel Corporatior.which were
~nitially deposited.
12.Your Petitioners are advised and believe that to
adhere to the direction of Walter H.Baker contained in ARTICLE
THREE of the trust indenture that the Petitioners must give
notice to and obtain the consents of "the then be~eficiaries of
the trust created by this indenture who are sui j~riE"before any
sales of Cyclops Corporation common stock are made by the trustee.
13.Your Petitioners are advised and be~ieve that your
H~norable Court has addressed itself in the course of the audit
-4-
;,.
!of the Third Account to an interpretation of the seme language,
!although not that contained in ARTICLE THREE,but cs used in
ARTICLE TEN of said trust indenture with respect tc the appoint-
ment of the successor individual trustee.
14.Your Petitioners are advised and believe that be-
cause your Honorable Court has most recently addres3ed itself to
the interprebation of ARTICLE TEN of said trust indenture in the
course of the audit of the Third and Partial Accoun~that a decree
pursuant to Sections 831 and 834 of the UniformDec~aratory Judg-
ment Act providing for a hearing to interpret substantially the
same language provides an expeditious and effective method to
establish the meaning of the subject language of ARTICLE THREE of
said trust indenture.
WHEREFORE,the Petitioners request your Honorable Court,
~ursuant to Sections 831 and 834 of the Uniform Declaratory Judg-
ment Act to enter a decree directing all parties in interest,
either in person or by their respective attorneys,to appear be-
=ore your Honorable Court,there to present oral argument for the
determination by your Honorable Court as to the proper interpreta-
tion of the phrase "the then beneficiaries of the trust created
0y this indenture who are sui juris",as that phrase appears in
ARTICLE THREE of the trust indenture between Walter E.Baker and

PETITION FOR CHANGE OF SITUS OF A TRUST PURSUANT
TO SECTION 725 OF THE PENNSYLVANIA PROBATE,
ESTATES AND FIDUCIARIES CODE (20 Pa.C.S.A.§725)
TO THE HONORABLE,THE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:
The Petition of Amy Anne Weimer Levin,by her
attorneys,Richard DiSalle and Rose,Schmidt,Dixon &Hasley,
respectfully represents that:
(1)Your Petitioner,Amy Anne Weimer Levin,is an
individual currently residing at 3537 Royal Palm Avenue,Coconut
Grove,Florida 33133,and is the present income beneficia~y of a
Trust created for her benefit under ARTICLE ONE of the Trust
Indenture of Walter H.Baker,dated August 25,1936,("Trust").
(2)The pertinent provisions of the aforementioned
Trust Indenture are as follows:
Upon the death of Anne Baker Weimer
aforesaid,the Fund shall be equally divided
into as many parts as there are children of
Anne Baker Weimer surviving her,and a
separate trust with respect to each part
shall be continued for each of said surviving
children of Anne Baker Weimer.From the net
income arising from each of said separate
trusts for the surviving children of Anne
Baker Weimer shall be paid an equal
proportionate part of the life insurance
premiums on the policy or policies on the
life of David P.Weimer,Jr.,as aforesaid,
and the remainder of the net income from each
of said separate trusts for the surviving
children of Anne Baker Weimer shall be paid
to each child respectively of Anne Baker
Weimer,the beneficiary of said respective
trusts,not less frequently than .
quarter-yearly for and during the period of
his or her life.Upon the death of each of
said children of Anne Baker Weimer,
respectively,the trust as to such child
shall terminate and the Trustees shall
thereupon pay over and deliver to the issue
of said child,in equal parts,the property
then constituting said trust estate for his
or her benefit,together with all accumulated
or accrued income thereon,free from all
trusts,absolutely and in fee simple.
(3)In addition to your Petitioner the issue of your
Petitioner also have a potential interest in the Trust.At the
present time,the issue of your Petitioner consist of her
following children:
David Michael Ritter
Route 2
Box 101
Newberry,Florida 32669
William Jeffrey Ritter
6907 Moore Street
Stuart,Florida 33490
Susan Duncan Ritter

Apartment D
New Orleans,Louisiana 70118
Jonathan Baker Ritter
940 West Brevard Street
Apartment C.3-4
Tallahassee,Florida 32313
All of the aforementioned individuals are sui juris.In the
event your Petitioner should die without leaving issue to
survive her,the Trust Indenture provides that your Petitioner's
sisters and brothers or the next of kin of Anne Bake~Weimer are
entitled to the principal of the Trust.
(4)At the present time the corpus of the ~rust
consists entirely of securities and cash having a market value
of approximately $350,000.00.These assets are more
particularly set forth in the First and Final Account filed
herein by The Union National Bank of Pittsburgh.
(5)The present Trustees of the Trust are Evans Rose,
Jr.and The Union National Bank of Pittsburgh.However,The
Union National Bank of Pittsburgh has advised your Pe'titioner
that it now intends to resign its position as corpora~e Trustee
of the Trust.In view of this resignation,your Petitioner,
pursuant to the authority vested in her by ARTICLE TEN of the
Trust Indenture,has nominated Northern Trust Bank of Flo~ida as
-3-
corporate Trustee of·the Trust.Once Northern Trust Bank of
Florida assumes the position of corporate Trustee,the entire
principal of the Trust will be placed in its possession in
Florida.
(6)As indicated heretofore,your Petitioner is a
resident and domiciliary of the State of Florida,and none of
her children currently resides in Pennsylvania.
(7)Since your Petitioner and her issue do not reside
in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,and considering the fact
that the entire principal of the Trust.will be transferred to
Florida by the newly designated corporate Trustee,your
Petitioner believes that a transfer of the situs of the Trust to
Florida is advisable.Such a change in the situs of the Trust
is desirable from the standpoint of administrative :ase and
convenience since it will enable the beneficiaries of the Trust
to monitor the actions of the corporate Trustee,and to redress
the same,if necessary,in a convenient forum.
(8)Attached hereto and made a part hereoE are the
consents of Evans Rose,Jr.and the Northern Trust 3ank of
Florida to the proposed change in the situs of the Trust.
WHEREFORE,your Petitioner,Amy Anne Weimer Levin,
pursuant to Section 725 of the Pennsylvania Probate.Estates and
Fiduciaries Code (20 Pa.C.S.A.§725),respectfully requests
that this Honorable Court transfer the situs of the Trust
-4-
created for her benefit under the Trust Indenture 0=Walter H.
Baker to the State of Florida.

instead,continues on for the lifetime of the income
beneficiary,Amy Anne Weimer Levin.The occasion for the
present accounting is simply the voluntary resignation of the
Trustee,The Union National Bank of Pittsburgh.{See Copy of
Letter attached hereto and marked as Exhibit'"A".}Such a
termination fee is inconsistent with the expressed terms of the
fee agreement controlling this Trust.{See Copy of Fee Letter
attached hereto and marked as Exhibit "B".}
I ..~.
2.In the event it is held by this Honorable Court
that a termination fee is permissible by Trustee,The Union
National Bank of Pittsburgh,the proper fee in this matter is
$844~24 not $1,800.00.(See Copy of Letter attached hereto and
marked as Exhibit "C".)

W.H.Baker,Dec'd.for Amy Anne Levin -IIHO-2991-00-0
Dear Ev:
Upon receipt of your letter dated May 7,1984,regarding your comments with
respect to the accountings for these trusts,I turned a copy over to our Court Account-
ing Department for their attention.I was subsequently advised that they have noted the
suggested corrections .tn9 w1J1 ~J~thalOot...Jl~~J;~J.§.!£IlbeJ:U~!D"",t",Q"li,,,,,~~n .
and/or sugg1e~~~lats_~~~~~.There seems to be some question at this end on the~.gpro.pa&.t1Lway.....g1J'~~31}Umng...t~..vcco.unts as outlined in the first captioned
item in your letter and perhaps we can reco~i1~is question at our meeting on Friday,
May 18,1984.
With r~<;..t~tter.~g..I]p..J.:l~~~:hg~o...~__~-h~~ank'.scs;jl~rg~~?the indicated fee for
the trust under the Will of Walter H.Baker represents the adjusted deferred fee on
the principal value of this account since the inception of the trnst.In those accounts
where the annual fee on the principal value was deferred,compensation at termination is
calculated on the basis of the current annual percentage for the number of years the
trust was established <i.J.kJ:a~~a£l,2J1~~.....,.ER£~l;."=,,q.;~!_b-!.;-tY.;iS'.l;1J.;,,y,$~~j and this total
percentage is thgp~a~~~_~~~~:~:~~?~~l~~~~?~~te~~2~Eio~unless an adjustment is
deemed appropriate..
For your information,this Bank's annual principal charge in accordance with
the present fee schedule is .0028%on the first $500,000,.0025%on the next $500,000
and .0015%on the next $1,000,000.Thus,based upon the market value of this trust as9'Re,c,emh@.&..,l£t.m.l.~§).or!.,,~hichwas $921,642.07,the deferred principal compensation based
on the above formula would have approximated $87,700 C.0028 x 34 .=9.52%x 921,642.07 =
$87,740.33).December 14,1983,was the date our Trust Administr~tion Committee directed
the resignation of this Bank as Corporate Trustee..
In view of the fact that the Courts have generally indi=ated that the maximum
lU'incipa1's"'m}p.~p.-~&H9~"g~fJl!HF.~5L~~t,.~~:~~~.~._~~_app.fP~.~~~t~ly.6%,.th~.J2e was then cai~

It's 'possible.
Your duties as trustee,if you were appointed,
would consist of making investments,preparing
necessary papers.and the various duties you
perform in your other trusts,is that correct?

to ---if there are two trustees,a co-trustee,
\fOuld the rate be doubled or cut in half so

That varies really.A lot depends on the
instrument.Sometimes the instrument controls••
I don't think there's any decisional law that
indicates it's supposed to be cut.
Where you have two trustees rather than one,
'would,the fee be any higher than it would.be

that arise,the degree of difficulty,the results
you achieve.I think there are a lot of factors
that go into that•
.1f you have a-lot of.difficulty in'the trust,
,is it your position that the fee should be
larger for the two co-trustees adding up to
more than it would have been if there was just

derived from.having a second co-trustee.I

there had been an error in part of the distributiJg

that,instructing him that the way to get this
thing into court was to have an audit.Amy.
Anne didn't know what the situation was;nor
did I at that point.From that time on I started
having cqnferences.with Smith-Whitworth,the
former representative of the bank in these trusts,
the former trust officer ,before Don Patton,and
talking with Odel Parkinson of Washington.I ad\ised
Amy Anne to come to Washington and talk to Tom

an individual in a position to vote all of
the shares of stock thatlare in the two estates
before the Court,as well as the others J as

What are you trying to get at?
There are inferences made earlier
Your Honor,that my client is
delaying the proceeding.I just
wanted to clear up the record on
that.
That was by mutual agreement,I believe.
Is it true that the Judge in that hearing held
you in contempt of Court?
No sir.There has been no hearing on the
petition for divorce.
You were not directed to leave your 'wife's
residence by the Judge?
There was last August --I had been here with
my father and flew back to Florida late in
June,mid June.I was living at the house.
My wife brought an action to have me removed,
charging that I was harassing,etcetera.As
the children well know,these allegations were
not true.We never had a hearing into the
merits of them.I went before the court at
that time on a petition to set a date for a
hearing on the merits.Before I knew what
happened,I said to the Court,"My father has
a terminal illness and it's my intention to go
rr
59.
back north within the next few weeks."I agreed
without a hearing'on the merits and the allegations,

Q Will you tell the Court your understanding of
.what Union National Bank's income compensation
is to be?
It is my understanding that there are letters
on file from my grandfather that the compensation
to the bank was to be 2%throughout the duration
of all the family trusts.I believe in testimony
brought out with.my nephew,Duncan,this was
discussed.I was not here,but it's my under-
standing that that was discussed.-
You're not aware of any different treatment of
family owned security as opposed to non-family
owned security?---
I think family owned security was charged at
.2%.'

A.Duncan Trust?
That's correct,Your Honor.
It's all the family trusts was my grandfather's
agreement with the bank•

Are you aware that the fee agreement provided

be no further individual co-trustee?
I don'~really understand that,because mother
is the last one named.It certainly appears
to me .that there is a'long history of individual
co-trustees.I don't think you can say that
..with mother's death that that cuts off the indivi al
co-trustee.
This isn't our position.We're not proposing
that.
Grandfather was operating on a matter of living
people.
That's within the discretion of the Court.Would

No,Your Honor.I presented a

their compensation was limited to

position that both can equally
handle it,which I cannot make
a recommendation of which one.Ot.:r
.position is that what's best for
the minor children is what we are
ooncerned with,and we feel that
both would take care of the intereats
of the children.So I don't have
a recommendatrOn.
After,con~iderin9 everything that
has been presented here,I think
it is go~ng to be in the best
interest .of both of these trusts
-in l!gheQf the fact that Amy Anne
..
Ritter is the present beneficiary
and in light of the fact that she
is estranged from her husband,it
would seem to me that it would not'
be in the best interest to place
her husband in a position where he
would have control over her financ9s.
Under those circumstances,the
Court will appoint Attorney Rose
as trustee in the Walter H.Baker
Trust for Anne Baker Weimer
and also in the Anne A.Duncan Tru~t
.-
72.
for Anne Baker Weimer.t'le will
fo~lize our order.I think tha
is in 'the best interest of all
concerned.I think in any event
the Court construes the language
in the Walter H.Baket'Trust,the'
words,"then beneficiary",in the
Court's opinion.refers to the onl -
known beneficiary as of this time
and the other beneficiaries are
conti~gent depending on whether
survive 'their mother or their
grandchildren,whether they in t
survive under the circumstances.
,
I will have to leave that in the
interest-of all concerned
Rose will be appointed as trustee
in both trusts to work along with
the Union National Bank.I will -
formalize this order in more spec fic
language.
Your Honor,in the Walter Baker
Trust there will have to be two
trusts under the Walter H.Baker
agreement1 o~e for Walter B.Weim
and that would be Joseph Duncan
-.
So there are three appointments
that will have to be made.
