The case In the Seventeenth district
court of !. T. Taylor vs. the Farmers
and Mechanics National Bank. involv-
ing the property known as the Holmes
castle at the corner OF Third and Rusik
streets, was decided yesterday by Judge
Harris. This case brings up that part
OF the history OF the famous II. Ii.

der sentence to hang "a Philadelphia.
The real object of the construction OF
this building here will probably never
be known unless Holmes sees fit to I'M
cover his plans when placed upon the
scaffold.
The labor and material In the con-
struction of the building was largely
purchased on credit and the decision
yesterday settles the question of the
priority of claims held against the
property by creditors and la
borefs. Ten thousand dollars was
borrowed by Lyman. alias Pietzel. from
the Farmers and Mechanics National
bank, for which a mortgage was given.
Other liens were held by j. r. Taylor,
q, II. Bennett and others Judge Har-
ris' decision was to the effect that all
laborers and material mems liens Gre
ated and properly filed should have pri-
ority over the mortgage liens held by
the Farmers and Mechanics National
bank and by j. I. Taylor. G. T.. Ben
nett and j. Samuels That these mort
gage liens Were in the following prior
ity as between each other: First,
Farmers and Mechanics National bank
