Ex Governor H. B. Harrison, as a commit tee of the Superior court, has finally given decision in the famous case of ex-Senator Charles A. Yale vs. the Simpson, Hall & Miller Go. The case has been fought in the courts for two years. The plaintiff was rep- resented by John w. filling and James Platt, while the defendants interests were looked after by William c. Case, Judge L. M. Hubbard and William Ely. The report of the committee completely puts the com- pany to route and vindicates the honor and business integrity of Senator Yale and his two sons, c. B. and 6. Seldom Yale. MT Yale sued for $10,O00 back salary and the company filed cross complaint, charging MT. c. B. Yale and MT. G. Seldon Yale with mismanagement of the business of the New York store, of which they had complete charge from 1870 up to 1876. The company also claimed the profit in the outside business run by Messrs. Yale at the New York store. By this decision Charles D. Yale is entitled to recover his salary amounting in all to the present time to $10,101. .69, the amount profits of s5, ,493 59. leaving balance due MT. Yale of $4, sos. 10. The outside profits are not positively determined by the finding to be properly set off against MT. Ya1e's sal ary. But from the finding it would seem that they should be and the committee says that if he is not exceeding his powers they should be- The committee regrets the mis- understanding which gave rise to this suit and thinks that both parties have acted in the fullest faith toward each other. The finding covers sixty-eight pages of legal cap. Court of Common Pleas-CIvn Side Judge Studley.
