600 CATALAN ORDER OF COURT VACATED
John A. Sullivan. John J. Delany and Felix l.
Murphy the1two latter attorneys. made contract
early this year with Francis J. Heron. OF No. %
Broadway, by which they were to become partners
IN a big mining scheme in Mexico. The contract
was ba sed upon the possession Of another contract
that Heron had with Miguel Franck. OF the
City OF Mexico who held property known as the
Ixtapan Del ORC Mines.
1t appears from the papers filed by the plaintiffs
that so far as they Informed. the contract be-
tween Franck and Heron was that the latter was
10 furnish to the former $4,000 in cash before July
p last and a balance OF $4,000 in instruments for
the next six years and $500 600 worth OF stock in
mining company TO be formed the property.
which was to have a capitalization OF 100000.
Franck Is alleged to have agreed to turn over the
property to Heron soon as the 10000 cash was
paid and the $500 900 in stock given TO him.
The contract with Franck expired on June r. but
Heron said that there would be trouble in re-
newing 1t. The plaintiffs then entered into nego-
tiat!ons with Belgian bankers TO start the mining
company. Heron went Mexico In August TO
Franck, and after his return here Franck
died. Then Heron said he had raised $4,000 from
friends and had taken title to the property
IN their name. An action was Immediately begun
by Sullivan. Delany and Murphy for an accounting
and for a construction of the agreement between
them and Heron. They got court order for the
