• Notice: The Jewelers' Review, on 12 Apr 1899.
  Judge Townsend, in the United States District Court at New Haven, on the 5th, gave a hearing on the motion of creditors of Calvin M. Tiffany, of South Manchester, bankrupt, to have the sale to M.S. Chapman of certain property of Mr. Tiffany set aside. Mr. Tiffany was engaged in the jewelry business at the time he went into
  bankruptcy some months ago. Mr. Watkins was appointed trustee of the estate. He disposed of the stock of jewelry to Mr. Chapman for $1,700 and Mr. Tiffany went back into the store and conducted the business. The creditors claim that Mr. Watkins could have obtained more for the stock than he did, and it is their desire that the sale to Mr. Chapman be declared void. The creditors are Henry Green, of Cambridge. Mass.; A.T. Morrill, of Boston; Morrill Brothers Company, of Boston; International Trust Company, of Boston; J.B. Humphrey, of Somerville, Mass., and the Crescent Watch Case Company, of New Jersey.
