costs TO appellant. the appeal OF Jacob Reese, Of
Ptsburg in the case Of the Bessemer Steel Company

This decision takes from Mr. Reese the work Of thirty
years Of his life, he says, without compensation, the
value of the patents running into the millions. There

writings The specific controversy was as TO whether
Reese was buund TO transfer 10 the Bcssemcr Steel
Company all inventions. patents and applications for
patents In existence September s. 1879, the date
of the prncipal contract. The master decided
that such Inventions were included in the con-
tract but limited them 10 such as
related only 10 tie manufacture of iron ard steel
into lels, ingots and b!llets The County Court
dccrccl that all these patents were included, and that
Mr. Reese must assign them TO the Bcssemer Steel
Company for the sum OF 90 600. This opinion Is
sustained Mr. Reese desired TO Introduce these
patents IN the South. The Besscmcr s'e@l Company
