IN RE:
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
ESTATE OF LINWOOD B. PHILLIPS,
JR., Deceased
ALICE R. PHILLIPS,
ORPHANS' COURT DIVISION
Petitioner
v.
NO. 21-06-0] 22
ROBERT G. FREY,
Respondent
MOTION FOR EMERGENCY RELIEF
Upon information and belief, the Petitioner, ALICE R. PHILLIPS, by and through
her attorneys, JAMES, SMITH, DIETTERICK AND CONNELLY, LLP (the
"Petitioner"), files this Motion for Emergency Relief to require Robert G. Frey (the
"Respondenf'), to enjoin any of the consanguineous descendants of the decedent, Linwood
B. Phillips, Jr., (the "Decedent') from accessing the Homestead, the Camp Site and all
adjoining lands pending adjudication of the Petition for Relief for the following reasons.
1. Petitioner, Alice R. Phillips, is an adult individual residing at 93 Encks Mill
Road, Carlisle, Pa 17013, and is the surviving spouse of the Decedent.
2. The Petitioner filed a Petition for Reliefwith this Honorable Court against
the current executor, Robert G. Frey (the "E'Cecutor") seeking his removal and a Rule to
Show Cause was issued.
3. The Petitioner now seeks this immediate relief for her own safety and
personal reasons and as opposed to seeking the immediate dismissal of the Respondent
which will require the appointment of a successor executor (simply put the Petitioner does
not have a successor corporate trustee in place at this time), the Petitioner is requesting this
Honorable Court intervene to direct the Respondent of his duties as Executor.
4. Petitioner avers the Respondent has allowed the consanguineous descendants
of the Decedent to trespass on the real property of the Estate and harass the Petitioner and
possibly dissipate assets of the Estate (for purposes of this Motion only the consanguineous
descendants of the Decedent shall be called "Descendants").
5. The Descendants includes the natural born children of the Decedent,
specifically, Linwood B. Phillips, III, Merle R. Phillips, W. Alan Phillips and Linda L. Stull
and their descendants.
6. Petitioner filed a Motion for Emergency Relief against the son of the
Decedent, namely Linwood B. Phillips, III, last week and a joint stipulation was entered into
as reflected in the attached Exhibit "A" (the "Joint Stipulation").
7. Contemporaneous with the Motion for Emergency Reliet~ the Petitioner
procured a private security group (the "Security") as she feared for her safety and well
being.
- 2 -
8. The Joint Stipulation set forth specific property boundarics for the Petitioner
and Linwood B. Phillips, lIll, as further reflected therein. The Petitioner agreed to remain
on the house and the immediate surrounding acreage (the "Homestead"); however, certain
related parties to Linwood B. Phillips, III, have now elected to harass the Petitioner.
9. Without waiving any claims related thereto, the Petitioner agreed to not
access the contiguous properties to the Homestead as outlined in the Joint Stipulation (which
includes the Camp Site adjacent to the Homestead (the "Camp Site ")); provided however,
the Respondent, despite having received a copy of the initial Motion for Emergency Reliet~
has failed to uphold his fiduciary duties to assure that no one is trespassing on the Camp Site
or adjoining properties (collectively the Homestead, the Camp Site and the adjoining
properties shall be called the "Real Property"). The Real Property is depicted in the attached
Exhibit "8".
10. The Real Property remains an asset of the Estate and pending the
adjudication of the claims in this matter, the Descendants do not have a legal right to be on
the Real Property.
11. Petitioner initially agreed to allow certain parties limited access, however, it
is apparent the Petitioner's well being is in danger based upon recent events and this access
should no longer be permitted.
12. The Respondent is well aware of the controversies by and between the
Petitioner and the Descendants and has elected not to interfere.
13. Petitioner avers that the Respondent has elected not to interfere because of
the nature of his legal relationship with the Descendants.

Subject: Incident on 6-6-06
----~-~~-~---- ---~~---~-- -~----~ -- ---~-----~~-----~-~--~-------- ---~--
On 6 June 2006 at approx.1930 I Michael Hermanowski while on patrol for Assets Protection was verbally abused
and accosted by a white female known as Linda the daughter to the deceased. V\lhile on patrol, I noticed a pickup
truck later identified as a red 2500HD This pick up truck was uSing the left side access road (as looking at the
house from the road) and was driving at a high rate of speed The driver of the vehicle was driving erratically as I
saw from the golf cart I was driving to catch up to and identify
The driver who pulled out from the backside of the pig farm blocked me in and motioned for me to come to her
in which I did leaving the golf cart approx. 10ft behind me The driver then asked who I was in which I replied my
name and then asked to what I was doing there. I then asked who the driver was, the reply was that of "Linda you
son-of-a-bitch". She then rolled down her window and I saw power tools, bolt cutters and various cases in the cab
of the truck. I asked to what the bolt cutters were for and her reply was that of "Don't accuse me of stealing you
bastard" She then asked again for whom I was and whom I worked for I again stated my name and the estate.
I retreated to my golf cart and tried to leave when Linda lurched her truck forward as to block me. I put the cart
in reverse and positioned it in a way to aid in my escape; I then put the cart in forward motion and was able to
make it around the truck unobstructed. I made contact with the state police telephonically who later sent a trooper
to take a report. While on the telephone Linda again confronted me and started looking through the dumpster
located at the end of the road on the left side access road. She stated that I should be careful whom I accuse of
stealing. Since I was on the phone with the state police, I could not reply.
A later search of the area and various known points of interest yielded no evidence of tampering. Although,
there was a time when Linda was seen with the tenants closest to the trailers. The trooper who arrived to take my
statement did go around the property with me to ensure the security of the trailers and the "museum".
This is a record of incident that the presentation drawing attached should be able to answer any questions
