I have made three trips to Statesville.with the hope that this matter could be rushed alonz.e When I was in Statesville on June 15, Mir. Joyner informed me that he would have the report ready by July 1, and, at that time, I told him rather than to rush him too much that I should appreciate his having the report ready by July 15 and as yet the report has not been filed. I am not criticizing Mr. Joyner for not having this report ready, for no doubt, tne delay is attributable to the in- difference of his clients. Tnese executors oualificd as such on February 19, 1927 more than ten years ago and they have been so indifferent as to their obligations that they have not as much as filed an inventory much less annual accounts and the final accounte In that these executors have been so extremely indifferent and srossly negligent in their duties, I think the re- quest that this matter be postponed for an additional four months is unreasonable and we strenuously oppose any such further indulgence. I am sure that Mr. Joyner can secure the services of some auditor without all this delay and I am of the opinion this account could be audited by an auditor in less than three days time and certainly this report oug:t to be filed not later than August 15. I think under the circumstances, my clients have been most patient and I certainly have tried to be patient but it is time that somethinz be donee If Mre Joyner desires to have a hearing on this petition you will please notify me and I will be present.

P. Davidson, R. F. Davidson, J. C. Davidson, and ANSWER TO CITATION Re M. Davidson, Executors of the Estate of J. A. Davidson, deceased. A. P. Davidson, J. C. Davidson, R. F. Davidson, and R. M. Davidson, Executors of the estate of J. A. Davidson, deceased, answering the citation of the Clerk of the Superior Court of Iredell County, North Carolina, allege and say: 1. That Je Ae Davidson died February 7, 1927, and that thereafter, on February 19, 1927, A. P. Davidson, R. F. Davidson, J. C. Davidson, and R. M. Davidson, qualified as the executors of the said estate, and has since that time been acting as executors of the said estate. 2. That at the time of his death, J. A. Davidson was the owner of several farms and several tracts of city property, which at that time were considered very valuable pieces of property, but that all of the land, with the exception of a few small vacant lots, was heavily encumbered with first, second, and third mortgages. 3. In addition to the mortgage liens on the real estate, J. A. Davidson was indebted to individuals and banks to a large amount, said indebted- ness being endorsed notes and not secured by mortgages on real estate. 4. That at the time of qualifying, your respondents thought that they could salvage enough from the equities in the real estate after paying the mortgages on the real estate to pay the notes and other indebtedness of the estate, but due to adverse business conditions and particularly the general depression that has affected the country for the last ten years, your respondents have not been able to pay the indebtedness owing by the said estate. 5. At the time of qualifying as executors of the said estate, the executors employed the late H. P. Grier, attorney-at-law, of Statesville, N. C., to represent them as their attorney in settling the estate. The employment of Mr. Grier was at the express wishes of J. A. Davidson, and in fact, J. A. Davidson, in his will, specifically requested that H. P. Grier be employed as attorney to represent the executors in settling the estate. "y ‘f ‘U O s p l A e g d Lt 6 l 6. That the late H. P. Grier did represent the executors of the J. A. Davidson Estate up to the time of his death, and at his death, Mr. Jack Joyner, the law partner of H. P. Grier, and a member of the Grier & Joyner law firm, continued to represent the executors in the administration of said estate. 7. That at the time of his death, Mir. Grier had in his office all of the books, notes, and papers of every kind and description belonging to the executors of the said estate, and that these were taken over by Mr. Joyner as the law partner of Mr. Grier, and that he now has in his possession all of the books, papers, accounts, and receipts of every kind and description belonging to the said estate. 8. That in 19 your executors employed Mr. Henry Steele, Certified Public Accountant, to make a complete audit of the books and affairs of the J. A. Davidson estate for the purpose of filing an account with the Clerk. That llr, Steele did make this audit and that it is now in the possession of lr. Jack Joyner, who has all the other papers belonging to the estate, and who is the attorney for the executors of the J. A. Davidson estate. 9. That it is impossible for your respondents to file a statement of accounts with the Clerk without this audit and the books, notes, and receipts belonging to the said estate, all of which are now in the hands of Mr. Joyner, and are on file in his file in his office. 10. At the time His Honor, Carl G. Snith, Clerk of the Superior Court of Iredell County, called on the executors to file a settlement with the Court, the executors immediately requested their attorney, Mr. Joyner, to prepare such a settlement, and which he promised to do. But due to other and pressing business, Mr. Joyner failed to prepare this settlement, although repeatedly requested to do so by the executors. ll. That at the time this citation was served against your respondents to file said account, they again and immediately took the matter up with Mr. Joyner, and requested that an account be prepared for them to file. But at thet time Mr. Joyner was a member of the State Senate, and is now a member of the State Senate, representing Iredell, Catawba, and Lincoln Counties, and in addition to his regular duties as State Senator, he is a member of the Budget Commission, and of the Judiciary Commission, all of which duties have "y “f ‘U o s p l A e q Lt 6 l taken up all of his time, and he has not had time to attend to his local law practice. 12. And as proof of the good faith on the part of your respondents in trying to get their statement filed, there is attached hereto a letter from Land « Sowers, attorneys, to Mr. Joyner, dated February 15, 1939, a letter fron Mr. Joyner in answer thereto, addressed to Mr. Neil Sowers, of the firm of Land & Sowers, dated February 20, 1939, a letter from Land & Sowers to Mr. Jack Joyner, dated March 22, 1939, and the letter of the Clerk of the Superior Court to the executors, dated March 13, 1939, which letters are marked Exhibits A, B, C, and D, and asked to be made a part of this paragraph as fully as if set forth therein. 13. That Mr. Joyner has promised to get up this account in order that it can be filed immediately upon his return from the State Senate, or just as soon thereafter as it is possible for him to do so. 14. That your respondents are informed that the Legislature of North Carolina will adjourn SINE DIE during the present week. WHEREFORE, your respondents as executors of the estate of J. A. Davidson, having answered the citation issued by this Court, ask the Court: 1. That the contempt proceeding be dismissed. 2. That an order be made extending the time for the filing of the statement of accounts with the Court until such time as Mr. Jack Joyner returns from the State Senate, and sufficient time thereafter for him to prepare said statement of account. 3. For such other and further relief as to the Court may sean just till se fhe Lend & Sowbrs, Attorneys and proper. North Carolina Iredell County A. P. Davidson, being duly sworn, deposes and says: That he has read the foregoing answer to citation, and the facts set forth therein are true of his own knowledge, except as to those matters and things alleged upon infor- mation and belief, and as to those matters and ZZ PDD it to be true. ¢ Sworn to and subscribed before me, this the Z day of Apri 939.

I have been working off and on for the past, six months trying to get the Davidson Estate Settlement straightened out. It is the most complicated matter I have ever attempted. to handle. It is true that Mr. Steele made a partial audit but this audit will not aid in any way in making up a Final Settlement. Mr. Grier handled this mat- ter for about six years and I have at least two drawers full of papers. I \do not believe that you could possibly get it up and if Ross is cited for contempt we will have to file an Answer and the matter will have to wait until I get out of the Legislature. I am more familier with it than anyone é@lse and I am free to admit that I know very little about it. With high personal regards and best wishes, I am Yours very sincerely, Jack Joyner February 15, Mr. Jack Joyner Attorney at Law Statesville, N. C. Dear Jack: Mr. Ross Davidson has been in to see us a number of times relative to the filing of a final or partial settlement of the J. A. Davidson estate. Mr. Wilson, who represents part of the heirs, has been right on Carl Smith, the Clerk of the Court, and has had him to igsue citation against the executor, and the matter finally stands thus. The executors have until the March Term of Court to file this settle- ment. Otherwise, they are ping to be cited for contempt under the statute. Therefore, it is absolutely imperative that something be done, Mr. Davidson informs us that Mr. Steele made an audit which is available, and that this audit with the papers in your possession, should be sufficient for filing this settlement. We realise that you are busy in the Legislature, and perhaps do not have time to look after this, but we ask that you instruct Dick Battley to prepare this, and that we will assist Bick in anyway possible towards getting this matter in proper shape. We trust that you will not overlook the importance of this as we do not want Mr. Davidson to get in any embarassing position. Pease either do it yourself, or instruck Dick to prepare this settlement, and if any assistance is needed, we will be glad to help.
