Enslow Depositions, c. 1906-07

The Enslow Deposition was submitted for the legal proceedings that followed John Hooe Russel's death and the settlement of a $9,000 debt that was associated with the Huntington Distillery Co. The deposition relates information about the Huntington Distillery claim that came to light upon Russel's death. Enslow initially acted as Russel's executor and he attained the presidency at the Huntington National Bank via a stock holders vote. He originally found no fault or reason for a dispute, but, as the deposition outlines, he and Mrs. Russel had a falling out once she decided to move back to Kentucky.
