1Opinion of the Court

KEETON, District Judge.

This case arises from the fraudulent conduct of an attorney who forged check in-dorsements and absconded with a widow’s money. The attorney, however, is not a party. Rather, the widow, appellant Jean Ken-erson, suing in her capacity as administratrix of her deceased husband’s estate, seeks to recoup her losses from the institution (“Dean Witter”) that wrote the checks and the banks on which they were drawn. We use “plaintiff” (or “appellant”) to refer to Mrs. Kener-son in her capacity as currently the adminis-tratrix and formerly co-administrator with the attorney.
