BAY STATE
GAS CASE.
Argument Before Judge
Dallas in the United
States Court.

In the Bay State Gas Company
litigation there was battle royal
yesterday before Judge Dallas, in
the United States Circuit Court in
Philadelphia. The matter was
brought to the cou,t to determine
the materially and relevancy OF the
question put to William II. Miller,
the secretary and treasurer of the
company, at the hearing before the
examiners in the case. The ques-
ton was asked in the suit Of Jacob
Edwards and others against the
Bay State Gas Company, oil Della
ware, and John Edward Addicks
and others, and by advice OF coun-
sci Mr.. Miller refused to answer
the question before the examiners.
This vital question is, "Will you
please give to the court in detail
the assets. property and invest
ments of the defendant corporation
as OF the first day OF November
1882"
On the surface this question is
simple and plain one, but it is said
that the answer to it will 60 to the
very heart OF the great Bay State
Gas Company litigation.
A brief statement OF the alleged
facts contained IN the bill of COM
plant is that in December 1894, ].
Edward Addicks and others organ
lied the Bay State Gas Company,
of Massachusetts,. In March 1855,
Mr.. Addicks agreed to erect gas
works Tor the company for $3.50, 900
cash, and its -, 500, 900 note, bear
ing interest of go per cent. of the
company's net earnings.
From this point all the history of
the Bay State Gas Company and the
organizations of halt dozen other
companies by Addicks, the transfer
of notes and stocks and bonds is
given IN detail down to 1893, when
It is asserted that Addicks fraudu-
lently appropriated to his own use,
without considerable large mum.
Der of United Gas bonds; that in
1894 the defendant fraudulently i'm
proved the property of the Bay
State Gas Company, of Massachu-
sets by adding to it's buildings and
machinery, and paid for the same
with a portion OF the aforesaid Uni
ted Gas bonds.
The whole matter hinges on the
question whether the compliments
have alleged sufficient facts, and
during their prima facie case have
proved enough of those facts to show
the defendant to be an accounting
party.
Ex-senator Higgins closed the
arguments with a lew words in the
way OF Strengthening out the object
of the examination Of Mr.. Miller.
He said the compliments did not
wish to be limited to asking ques-
tons simply as to particular assets,
but desired to inquire about the en-
tire assets, in view Of the fact that
the issue was that all the assets
had been disslpated.
The lawyers then handed up
their briefs to Judge Dallas. and
the decision as to whether Mr.. Mil
Ter must answer the important
question was reserved.
