The case heard was one ' in which ' Hartford firms were intereste\1 and in- volving claims as to the infitingement of patent rights and the tradsferring of letters-patent from one fir to an- other. Arguments in the prem ies were made by attorn represen ting the different interests, there being yno evi- dence by witnesses, #rom the arguments made ‘vt was shown to the court that the Johns- Pratt company of Hartford was? seek- ing to have set aside the sales of a quantity of fuses (electrical euip- ment) by the trustee in bankrupte of the Sachs company estate of Hart- ford to the Crocker Whecler company of the same city, claiming that the: gsale was in violation of the ter: of” the final decree in its suit against the Sachs company, which had been utsing in its -fuses a flat metal strip in fringement on the Johns-Pratt co.u- pany’s rights, Luke Monohan, who has been the| The attorneys for Allen I. Sage, tive trustee in bankruptcy for the Sachs company, contended that there was nc contempt of the injunction by by Mr. Sage to the Crocker Wheeler" company for $6,000 of the fuses men- ‘tioned. The lot had been sold to th Wheeler company with the distin understanding that the metal strips on the inside were a patent infringe- ment and were not to be used or sold. The attorneys also presented that the other parts of the fuse were not an infringement of the patent and could legitimately be disposed of that the creditors- of the Sachs company might realize from the. proceeds. of such a transaction. This ground was heid as untenable by the a‘torneys of the .Johns-Pratt company, they contending that the fuse was in that class known as “combina- tion” patents and as such no part of the device could be sold without vio- lating the terms of the final decree of the Johns-Pratt company's suit against the Sachs compan: It was also pre- sented that the salé of . the metal strips was forbidden by the injunction, and that a sale that could not legally be made by the Sachs company could not be made by the trustee of the lat- ter company. In presenting their side the attor- neys for the trustee set forth that re- peated attempts had been made by the trustee to dispose of the fuses in dis- pute to the Johns-Pratt company, but the most that they had ever offered | for them was $2,500. Now that a cus- tomer had been secured who was will- ing to pay $6,000 and had taken them at that price the Johns-Pratt com- pany wanted the sale set aside. This fact was held as immaterial by the Johns-Pratt Co. attorneys, they call- ing attention to the fact that the infringing goods could not be sold without the consent of the Johns- Pratt company. They then asked that the sale be .set aside and that the Johns-Pratt cempnay and the Crocker Jheeler company be given an equal chance to bid for the property. Judge Holt ordered the sale annulled and that the Crocker Wheeler com- pany return the goods purchased to the trustee of the Sachs estate that an op- portunity may be had to bid for them as above suggested. The goods are in Havtford. Italians Back om the Job. Apparently the little war clould that loomed on the horizon Timrsday when the striking Italians, who have been the employ of the Connecticut Con- tracting company, threatened fight if any attempt was made to fill their places before they zot the back pay due them, was dissipated ¥riday. when the men went back to work. The ar- rangement under which they returned will assure them of geiting pay for such work as they may de in com- pleting the contract. Putnam Elks Are Not Sorry. Members of Putnam Loge of Hiks are not sorry because “Sergeant” Walsh is a prisoner in Greenwich jail. He should ‘have been there or in some other place of safe keeping long ago for having gone about the country and being wined and dined, as he himself says, by simply announcing was a_member of Putnam Lodge of the Best People On Earth. Walsh came to Putnam about two years ago, dress- ed as a sergeant in the United States army and representing himself as be- ing engaged in making z transcon- tinental trip afoot. He was well used here and after going away must have ved the idea of claiming he was Elk and a member of the local lodge, for he was soon afterwards heard of as representing himself in that role. Letters denouncing him as an imposter were sent to every Elks’ lodge in the country from Putnam, but it was not until recently in Green wich that he was rounded up and lock- ed up. He was still working that same old gag. This Walah will be remem- bered as having passed through several eastern Connecticut towns en the trip that he made himself an Elk, making Norwich a two days’ stand. ALUMNI! RECEPTION.
