J. Desmond of Norw: CASE OF HILLHOUSE & TAYLOR AGAINST DR:-A. F. HOWARD All the Lawyers Talking. Attorney Searls examined the wit- ness for the plaintiff. The Aiscussion waxed furious, all the lawyers at times taking part, and scmetimes the judge took part. In trying to have Howard tell why he went to Mr. Tay- lor's office thc discussion _ became rather warm_several times. Dr. How- ard admitted that he had _endorsed scveral of the Fenton company’s notes snd ‘that he was deeply interested in the Fenton compzany. Was Officer and Stockholder. After the 'noon recess, Dr. Howard again took the stand and was ques- tioned by Attorney Searis. He admit- ted that he was an officersand one of the large stockholders of a concern similar to the firm of Hillhouse & Taylor, and to which the Fenton Building tompany. owed §14P97 vhen it failed. He had tried to find Mr. Fenton several times, but all that he' could ascertoin was that he was in one of the western states. William * J. Burns a Witness. William J. Burns of Norwich,. the bookkeeper of the Fenton Building company before it failed and now a U. S. marine, home on furlough, was the next witness. He was aware of the indebtedness of the firms. On cross examination by Lawyer King the art cof bookkeeping was discussed and ‘Mr. King received some valuable informa- tion. The check of $8,000 which the tcwn of Windham paid the Fenton company for the high school was traced to the Willimantic Trust com- pany. Mr. Burns said that he turned the books over to the receiver of the company, John A. Moran, who was the next witness. John A. Moran’s Evidence. Mr. Moran told of the accounts of the several firms which were affected by the bankruptcy of the Kenton Fuilding company. At about 3.20 the plaintiff, with his counsel and witnesses, held-a confer- ence, after which eeveral witnesses ere examined, among them Miss Mo- {yiarty, the sterographer at the office of the firm of Hillhouse & Taylor, Mr. | Hillhouse and Mr. Taylor, partners of the firm, and Harold Taylor, son of the junior member of the firm.

The local firm claims to have received a note from the Fenton company en- dorsed by Dr. Howard. Mr. Taylor ¢id most of the dealing with these men and he was vitally interested in two ways, as the chairman of the town Luilding, committee which was build- ing the high school and as a partner in a firm which was selling some of the furnishings for the school to the Fenton company. Mr. Taylor said that he asked beth Mr. Fenton and Dr. Howard to come to his office and talk the particulars over, which was done. He claims that he explained the mat- | ter to Dr. Howard, saying that the small bills were not being paid and # tachment was threatened. He sug- gested that Dr. Howard endorse the Fenton company’s note. Later a note was received by Mr. Taylor which did not satisfy him and he Zent it back, and another which complied with his_specifications was mccepted.

About one mcnth later the Fenton Building compary went bankrupt, and the firm of Hillhouse & Taylor pre- sented a claim for $13,469.37, all of which, with tne exception of $5,000, yas for material sold the company. Mr. Taylor said on the stand that Dr. Howard endorsed the check to shield himself, as he was interested in the Fenton company, and he also said that he told Howard that “You're in this and you might as well see it -through.” Dr. Howard’s Testimony.
