Attorney Cronin qualified after & hearing on the application of Hull, McGuire & Hull, representing the mi- nority of stockholders for a co-receiv- er of the company to work in conjunc- tion with Attorney Cronin. Major Hull stated ti the court that a co-re- ceiver should be appointed in justice to all parties interested, Attorney Thomas M. Shields, repre- senting some of the creditors, opposed the application of a Co-receiver, stat- ing that it was unnecessary until it had been shown that the receiver had done something wrong. Attorney John C. Geary representing | other creditors made a spirited argu- ment against' the application. He sald that the concern had been misman- aged, that it owed over $200,000 and that its stock, which was. valued at $100 a shore. was down to $25. Superintendent Van Rensellaer was receiving a salary of $10,000 and under his management the concern had run down. He said that W, J. Al- vord was well qualified to conduct the business and intimated that the af- fairs of the concern will have been straightened out and the plant would be all right again in 30 days. He averred that the appointment of a co- receiver would only tend to clashing and would drag the concern down still further, and would end by going into bankruptey. Superintendent $560,000 worth of stock for which he 1:}[:»‘.6 the latter had not paid any- thing. Major Hull replied to Attorney Geary at some length. He stated that Attorney Geary only represented $80,- 000, Attorney Shields $8,000 and Attor- ney Lucius Brown, who also opposed the appointment of a co-receiver, two suits. He urged that the appointment of a co-receiver was necessary to safeguard the interests of everybody concerned. He said that the company bad been weil managed and the criti- cism which had been heaped upon it was unjust. He intimated that his son, Attorney C. Hadlai Hull, might be made the co-receiver. At the conclusion of his statement, Judge Shumway sald that he would take the matter of appointment of a co-recetver under advisement. He then inquired of Attofney Cronin, who was present, if he had secured the ‘bonds, and later the bonds were fur- nished and Attorney Cronin q\:dmnd.
