WANTS THE SALE SET ASIDE
Argument on the Washington En-
dOWment Associations Claim.
The Commercial Alliance COMPANY
Hold That the Purchase Is
Bona Eide One.

Argument was heard yesterday by the
court OF appeals in the case of the Washing
ton Beneficial Endowment Association
which some time ago won a decision in the
lower court concerning the transfer to the
Commercial Alliance Company.
The Beneficial Endowment Association
filed billin equity against the Commercial
Alliance Company and asked for recession
of the transfer on the grounds that the de-
fendant had Lot met the consideration for
the deed. 1t was charged that the transfer
by Mr.. Lawrence Gardner OF the Endow-
ment Associations property was procured
by the false and fraudulent representa-
tions Of the Alliance Company as 10 its
solvency and was based on the theory that
the Endowment Association never received
the $4,000 paid by the Alliance Com
pany, but that the sum was received by MI
Gardner Is agent of the various stoCkhOld-
ers in payment for their stock
The Alliance Company claimed that as
bona fide purchase it paid the $1,000
as the sole consideration, and the Endow-
ment Association insisted that it's evidence
in the lower court showed that nothing had
been paid for the property, that the con
Sideration was the promise Of the Com
mercial Alliance that it was in a solvent
condition, and would Keep insured all the
policy holders OF the Endowment Company
who should choose to accept its policies
1t was argued by Attorney Lipscomb that
it failed to do this, and as a further
consideration the Alliance agreed to hold
the property for the protection OF $4,000
death claims, but did not do so.
1t was shown that the appeal was by
William T. Gilbert, who protested against
the decision OF Judge Cox in refusing to
validate the sale to the Commercial Al
lance. Mr. A. A. Lipscomb, representing
the Endowment Association, the appellant.
argued that the consideration hadfaiIed and
that the evidence below had shown that
the Alliance Company was insOlvent at the
time OF the representations preceding the
transfer. He opposed the claim that i f the
deed be annulled the Alliance should be re-
turned its $4,000. THE stockholders re-
