F. Morton and her husband, J. Storliag Morton, against James P, Smith, Jr., and his vite, Laura A. Smith, Cora Bello Smith, and Ella Smith, TL. O.P. Freer, Augustus {sble, Ephraim Ingalls, and James P. Smith, Sr. Moro than twenty years ago, according to the bill, thelate Hiram Joy settled hero, and soon began laying ups fortune by buying and selling ice. A few yoara afterward he took in A. MM. Brisbio as partner, and the firm continued to do tusiness as Joy & Friable until 1859, In 1860, the film, though owning « largo amount of realantato, bo- como embarrassed, nnd made an assigriment to Menry Fuller for the benofit of thoit creditors. that time Joy owned onincumbered Btook 75 athe Onnal Trusteca’ Subdivision of, the N. 3g of Sec. 27. 29, 14, and 70 fect on Arcade court, botween Clark and LaSallo streots, Com- plainant, Mrs, Morton, is tho dangltcr of Mr. Soy by hin first wife, aud bis oly hoir St law, In 1868 Joy died intestate, owaing a» large amount of yaluabje parsonal property, but no acrainistra- tion on his satate was ever had. Some time hetween 1830 and 1860, JANES P. Jair, IMey nephew of Joy, came to Chicago Tindly received by his unclo, fi tree. with a brick residence. and whoro he was ‘urnished, rent also qiven a placo in the umploy of Joy & Prisbio on's salary: of $700.8 year. Aa soon as ho potioto the conil- Hence of Afr. Joy, Smith, as the bill chargoa, began to break up acd disturb the amicadle ro- lations between iis uncle and Frisblo, until the firm was broken up, aud Frisbio withdrew. Joy, it is alleged, iad #0 long credited the misropro- sontations of Smith that ho was unit for busi- ness asaociations with any one, Soon aftor J.P. Bniith, Jy., came to Chicago, his fethor, J. P. Builth, 8r., followed, who sottied with his gon, and also obfained employment wilh Joy & Frinbio, E For years boforo hin doath Mr, Joy's baslth gradually declined, and hin diseago finally ertimi- pated in roftening of tho brain and paralysis. During tins timo he was : ‘UNDER THE CONTROL OF BSITH, 7R., to such a degroo that, when his daughter wished him to go home with her, to 1808, ho refused solely because Smith, Jr., would not give him pertiie ion, Owing ta thia spbjaction to Smith, r., itis charged that Joy convoyed various por- .| tiovs of his property against hia omn intereats, In Novembor, 1853, Joy made § mortgage for $1,000 to D. W. Gorham, and in 186( ona day before it was due, Gorhpm avsignod it to Freer, but tho assignment was nat recorded antil May D, 1802. ‘The property conyoyed ‘was Lot 75, near the corner of Indiava avedue ‘and Twenty-aixth street. In August, 1359, Joy aud Frisbie gave two trust dooda, ono for £2,050, the other for $4,060. ‘The property conveyed was Block 76, aud parts of Lots 6 and 6, in Block 118, abayo-mentioned, besides 50 foot on Wabash avenue. These notes not being paid at maturity, in Febryary, 1861, tho‘property was soldto Frecr for $5,500, Complainants charge that these trust deeds wore’ t WITHOUT CONSIDERATION, that Joy & Frisbie did not owe Frecr anythtng, but that the pretonded consideration was on usurious bargain for the loan of the credit of Freer to Joy & Frisbio. Thoy also charge that the maney used to pay off tho Gorham mortgage came from Joy at Snith, Jr.'s, procurement ; that the sale to Freer waa not in equity subject to the Garham mart- gage por to the tyro trust decd to Froer him. self; that the salga wero altogether void other- ‘wine, not being made publicly and to the highest biddor, and that whatoyor title passed undersnch tale was wubject to the oquitics of campluinant and her father. ‘ In January, 1899, Joy, for love and sfoation, gave to Cora and Zilla Smith, daughters of Smit! Jr., the northeast Lf of Block 75, on Indiana ay- eno. In Dacamber, 1860, Joy, through fraud- ulent representations, convoyod all his property to Smith, br., for tha payment of his debts. On the 0th of May, 1842, Smith, Sr., as Agsignes, QUITCLAIMED TO YREER for $100 all hia title to Block 75. Breer kopt the proporty bought in by him at the Trysteo'a sale, under the two notes af Joy and Vrisbio, until Februgrg, 1865, when, for the nominal considoration of $1, he transferrdd the portions of Loja 6 and 7, Black 118, to Laura A. Smith. In September, 1868, Mrs. Smith sold a part of each of those lots ta tho Young Ben's Christian Ansociation, for $15,870, apd in July, 1869, she sold gnotlier portion of said Jota tad.

But it only continued to bea licn for one year after tho decree became such, tyileas an execution wan sued out within that time uniter the decree, And this record fails to show that such an execution was ever iamned, It will bo observod that the decrea was ren. ered ‘on the 17th of Juno, 1368, and affirmed at tho Heptember term of this Court ‘of the same yenr, so that moro than ono year had clapsed, ‘a8 the execution could havo insued at any ‘timo after the decreo was aiirmed, and more than & ycar before the contract was entered into by Eames for the sale of the land, which bears dato on the Bth of June, 1870, and tho pefusal by the appeltecs to proceed under tho agrcoment wan some time later, he fourteenth rection of the Chancery coda im- pores tho aamne reatrictious on the lion of a monoy de- erce that’are imposed on ® Judgment ot fav, and the Hien of a judgment only continues ou year, unless execution fe sued out befora the expiration of that fimo, and atich a decroo as this by tho terms-of tho statute 1s undor tho same Umitation.

Harder, which was suppresecd forservice, Crane says thatin 1868 he made « contract with Af. D. Ogden for the pur- chase of Sub-lote 5, 6,7, and 8 in Block Bot ShoMold’s Addition, containing 23 1-5 acres, and bounded by Contre, Halstod, and Clay streots and Shoffleld avenug. Tho prico was to be $92,- 800. In July of thosame yoar Crano sasigned his contract'to the Ohicago Mutual Homestead As- sociation, Opmplainant was President, Harder Secratary and Trpagurer, and Chauncey T. Bowen Trusteo, The laid was subdivided into 232 Jota, whioh it waa proposed ta sell for an average of $600 each, ar $139,200 for tha whole. A divi-' dend fund of 35,880 was formed by allow- ing the mombosa of tho Association to bid s promium-. for the ¢haico of lots, or an average of $1562.60 on each lot. At the eame time, Crane and Harder,who seemed to havo beon themsclyes tho Association, formed o copartnerahip for tha purpose of dividing the profite ou this speculation, whigh wad conbinuod until July, 1889, whon it (vas dissolved by mutual consent. : = Complsinant alloges that Harder, a Treasyror and Socrotary, kopt all tha book, aud received all the money, amounting to $175,680, for a largo part of which he has uttorly failed to account. to has also charged complainant with mora tosn hig share of tho exponece and logal fees, and lias converted to his own uso a large amouut of dividends which have not beon called for. Crane, therefore, prays that Harder, who hasbeen absevt in Arkansag for the last eighteen months, may be compolled to account forthe monoyé received by him, and that tho partnership may be settled up wader the dirac- tjon of a Court of Equity.
