Hinman opened the superior court here Monday morning without a jury for tis trial of the court case of John McWilliams et al, against r . Morten and James Morton. This suit was brought nearly two years ago and relates to ‘“e land and -building located at the noy east corner of Main and Ferry streets in orwich. Five-sixths of that property are owned by John McWilllams and Hen- ry G. Peck, but the other sixth by Clara B. Morton. Prior to the bringing of the ave to Miss Theresa Steiner or her heirs or as- signs' an option contract to purchase the Morton one-sixth nterest-at a fixed frice, this option to be exercised before Septem- ber, 1924. - After this option contract had been given to Miss Steiner, she in turn sold the option and all her riits under it to James Morton, and he is the present owner of the option of vurchase. Mr. Morton is now on the sea, returning to Conpecticut from Ceylon in the far east, where he has been on business for a long time. ~ After bringing their sult against Clara | B. Morton. the plaintiffs, afessrs_ Peck | and McWilliams, asked the court for an order to make James Morton a party de- fendant in the cass. The order asked for was objected t» by 3. Morton on the ground that the option contract gave no vested interest in the real estate until the option contract was exercised. The objection of Mr. Morton was taken. in the form of a demurrer, which was over- ruled, and thereupon an order was made that James-Morton be made a party de- fendant in thé case, which Wwas fccord- ingly done. So far no judgment has been entered against Mr. Morton as an added. defendant in the case. and it is his in- tention to take an appeal to the supreme court of the state from’ any jndgment in the case that in any way shall affect the option owned by him. The matter is now before Judze Hinman as to what judg- ment, if any, shail be rendered against Mrs. Clara B. Morton. G The matter was heard Monday in re- gard to the defense made by Mrs. Mor- ton, who claimed that the equftable title in the real cstate in question was in Dis- co Brothers, as her attorneys, Willlam H. Shields, Jr., and Thomas M. Shields, in- formed the «court.that they believed that Peck and MeWilliams had a binding agreement with Disco Brothers to sell them the property. Henry G. Peck was the first witness and testified to the fact that he and Mr. ¥cwmlan 5 Were owners of a part of the, real estate in question, having acquired five-sixths by three dif- ferent deeds of three-sixths, one-sixth and one-sixth, respectively, On cross- examination, William H. Shields, Jz., asked Mr. Peck if he had deeded the property to Disco Brothers. Alter objec- tion by J. J. Desmond. attorney for Péck and McWilliams, Mr. Peck answered that he had not deeded it, but ox further questioning admitted that a writing con- cerning the property, which he called an option, existed between himself and Mr. McWilliams and Disco Brothers. Mr. Peck did not have the paper with him, and Mr. Shields stated that each one of moned to bring any such paper that they might have with them. There were three of the Disco ¥rothers in court. In reply to a request by Mr. Shields, they all said | they did not have the paper ‘with them. Judge Hinman then took a recess and re- quested Mr. Peck to bring all papers he had with him relating to the matter and submit them to Mr. Desmond, Mr. Peck's attorney, who would instruct him as to what he should do with them, .Mr. Feck later returned with the papers requested and after an exténded conference between Aftorney Desmond, Mr. Peck, Mr. Me- Williams and the Discos, the attorney stated to the court that the Discos had Just released -Mr. Peck and Mr. McWil- liams from any obligations’ that the papers in question might create and that as attorney for the Discos he was au- thorized to stite it the-Discos now ither had nor claimed any interest of any kind in the real estate. Mr. Shields then claimed that the origiffal papers and the release just made by the Discos be produced and asked Mr. Peck to produce them. This was objected to by Mr. Des- tion, to which Mr. Shicds eéxcepted. N er side offered any further evidence than that given by Mr. Peck Judge Hinman took the vaners, reserving his decision of the case.

In years prior to the trusteeship, 21 per cent.' of the gToss income was considered sufficient to keep the property in good condition. At no time gince the trustes. ship has the expenditure for that purpose been less than, that percentage and in 1920 over 28 per cent. of the gross in- come was o applied. Dividends. at the rate of 3 3-4 per cent. were paid for the three years preceeding th change of control in 1314. The most prosperous period in the company's his- tory was the second year of the trus- teeship when the net income, over total charges, was atrifle less than $2,.000,000. | The operating costs for 1914, 1915 and 1916 varied from $5155,000 to $5,643.- | 000.

Rates of fare at 6 cents, a distance tariff with a minimum fare of 6 cents, a short fare zone with a minimum fare of 7 cents were plans trled which failed to check the ecrease Innet income. The only assistance which the trustees were ble to obtaian from outside sources was $1.126,747.38 which was advanced by the United States Housing Corporation in recognition of the transportation needs of the varijias Connecticut communities supplying war essantials, and certain equipment trusts, most of which have been paid off.
