Hearing Before Judge Walton Yes
terday.
Trustees Appointed at
Reorganization.
Railway Claims They are En-
titled to Nothing.

A Fearing te,ore Judge Walton Yves
teyun In the SupIen Cours room re ter
day afternoon to fix the compensation
and the disbursements OF Hon. Herbert
NJ. Heath OF Augusta. and Hon. Franklin
NJ. Drew of Lewiston, as trustees Of the
bondholders Of the Somerset Railroad
company.
The facts in the case are briefly these:
In 1871 the Somerset Railway company
mortgsged S road and franchise to trus-
tees TO secure the payment Of Its bonds.
The condition Of the MOI txage was brok-
en-, and In 1883, q majority Of the bond
holders organized new corporation IN
der the statute, by the name OF the SOM
erset Railway. The new corporation took
possession Of the road and has since
operated 1t. 1t also purchased the equity
Of redemption from the mortgage In 1881.
The trustees under the mortgage wers
Lewis Pierce OF Portland, s. ID. Lindsey
o, Norrldgewock and Daniel Holland OF
Lewiston. Lindsey and Holland died and
MIR. Heath and Mr.. Drew were appointed
to fiji tie vacantiss.
The till under which the present hear
ing is had WIS . bill pray ing to have the
tisis and possession Of the Somerset Kali
way company, the reorganization, de-
clared valid and that the mortgage Of 1871
be declared void, ana that the holders OF
ou standing bonds and coupons lie or
dsrei to surrender the same In exchange
fer stock In the Somerset Railway.
Ths court virtually granted the prayer
Of the bill and eecresd that the trustees
should release and convey whatever title
and interest they might have to the SOM
erset Railway, IN psyment Of any amount
that mis- hit he due them for tervic:s and
disbursements. The o. So was carried to
ths Supreme Court of the united States
on o writ Of error. AMI that court sue
tained the des islon Of the state court.
The con pany has ssttled with Lewis
rec In full. The other trustees claim,
not only compensation for their personal
services, but the charges Of Hon. ID. ID.
Stewart, who acted as counsel for the
trustees, and argued the cas-, before the
Supreme Court of the United States.
Hon. J. ii. Drum u ond, counsel for the
Somers set Railway. claims that the irus-
tees are emit led to nothing for personal
services or for disbursement; that under
the trust deed they were mere dummies
that while they held the title, 1t was
dry trust, as thu legal phrase has IL. and
they were not to act unlesI instructed
to do 20 by q meeting of the tondhold-
ere, and that such meeting never &C.
Cured.
The hearing was adjourned to give Mr..
Stewart an opportunity TO procure some
additional evidence.
Hop. ID. ID. Stewart and Gov. Cleaves
appeared for the trustees, and Hon. j.
III Drummoud for the Somerset Railway.
