For many years a wcll-known Philadel-

method to gain revenge on a large prop
erty owner who once defeated him in
lawsuit. 1t started over the rental of
piece Of ground in Second street, in what
was once the business center of Phla-
delphia. Under the original contract
the lessee of the ground paid his rental
in 800 Spanish dollars. but dozen years
ago the owner desired change in the
specifications. For some reason the les
see objected. and engaged the attorney
in question when the owner brought suit
against him and was sustained by the
court Ever since. however, the attor-
ney has employed his revengeful tactics.
