The matter now particularly before us is a motion for an interlocutory injunction. The general history of this case is sufficiently shown by the opinion disposing of the demurrers passed down on December 30, 1903, and reported in 127 F. 418. Soon after the filing of the bill, a restraining order was entered, directed to all the respondents, including John H Leyson, administrator of the estate of Andrew J. Davis within the state of Massachusetts. The restraining order is shown by the petition therefor and the docket entries in reference thereto. The petition was as follows:
The docket entries were made under date of June 13, 1903, as follows:
Afterwards there was a hearing on demurrers interposed by the various respondents, the result of which was the opinion passed down on December 30, 1903, as already stated, and a preliminary order, as follows:
'It is ordered that, after the bill has been perfected as to parties, in the manner in which it should be perfected as set out in the opinion passed down this day, there will be an order for an interlocutory decree, holding that the demurrers are good and sufficient so far as they relate to all portions of the bill claiming a statutory lien, and to those portions making Sarah Maria Cummings, Elizabeth S. Ladd, and Mary Louise Dunbar, respondents; that so much of the bill as seeks to establish a statutory lien be dismissed; that Sarah Maria Cummings, Elizabeth S. Ladd, and Mary Louise Dunbar shall be dismissed as parties respondent; also adjudging that the said demurrers are insufficient in law as to all other portions of the bill and other parties made respondents therein, and that such other respondents may answer within such time as shall be fixed by the court.'
Subsequently the death of Elizabeth S. Ladd was suggested, and by leave of court Charles H. Ladd, individually and as administrator of the goods and estate of Elizabeth S. Ladd, was made a defendant, and duly appeared. Thereupon, on January 14, 1904, an interlocutory decree was entered, as follows:
On the same day that the restraining order was entered a motion for a temporary injunction was filed by the complainant, but to and including the time of entering the interlocutory decree in regard to the demurrers no action had been in reference thereto. Thereupon, on an oral application by the respondents in reference to the restraining order, the court entered on the same January 14th the following:
Consequently, on January 25, 1904, the complainant filed the following motion for an interlocutory injunction:
'Comes now Eva A. Ingersoll, complainant in the above-entitled action, by her undersigned solicitors and counsel, and, upon her verified bill of complaint filed in said cause, and such further showing as may be made in support of this motion pursuant to the order of this court in the premises, moves the court to grant and issue an interlocutory injunction order, and writ in accordance with the prayer of complainant's bill, enjoining and restraining the defendant John H. Leyson, as administrator of the estate of Andrew J. Davis, deceased, his agents, attorneys, and representatives, from removing out of the commonwealth of Massachusetts, or distributing or delivering to defendants Joseph A. Coram, Henry A. Root, or Charles H. Palmer, and Andrew J. Davis, Jr., trustees, or either of them, or their or either of their agents, attorneys, representatives, or assignees, or otherwise disposing of those certain four hundred fifteen and a half eleven hundredths (415 1/2-1100) parts and parcels of all those certain funds and effects in the custody of said John H. Leyson as administrator of the estate of Andrew J. Davis, deceased, situate in the commonwealth of Massachusetts, more particularly described as follows, to wit, the sum of three hundred thirty-seven thousand eight hundred and sixty-two dollars, lawful current money of the United States and one hundred and seventy bonds issued by the Butte & Boston Consolidated Mining Company, a corporation organized under the laws of the state of New York, for the principal sum of one thousand dollars each, dated May 3, 1897, and numbered consecutively from 1,310 to 1,479, inclusive, and enjoining and restraining said defendants Joseph A. Coram, Henry A. Root, and said Charles H. Palmer, and Andrew J.
