New York Lawyer At First Refused
 To Give Them Up-Threatened With
 Prosecution for Contempt of Court
 He Finally Yielded-Judge Wheeler
 Renders Decision In Dime Savings
 Bank-Father McAlenny Case Mat ters in Short Calendar.
 The result of taking the depositions of the heirs of the late Edward Randolph of the Randolph Cloves company in New York yester- day has confirmed Attorney O'Neill that Mir Cloves can begin to sing the popular song, Let Me Of at Buffalo.' Which means that without doubt, from the present aspect of . the case the greater part of the plant of the Randolph Cloves company will be removed to Buffalo. The depositionS were for use in the main case which comes before the superior court next month in this city, the case wherein MT Cloves sues MT Miller, ct al, for the stock which he claims will give him the controlling interests in the concern. It has been claimed by the defense that the administrator, Obadiah Randolph, had no legal right to give Mir Cloves the much h-ta1ked of option on certain stock and further more that the heirs never gave the ad- ministrator power to dispose of this stock in any way: that in fact they were never consulted about taking such a step. Mr Gloves, through his counsel. AIr O'Neill. claimed other
 wise, on every point the other side raised.
 After taking the dispositions of the
 heirs, their lawyer was sworn. He
 was asked to produce certain papers
 which it was claimed the heirs signed
 giving the administrator the power to
 dispose of the stock as Mr Cloves
 claimed. The lawyer refused to give
 up the papers, whereupon he was threatened with proceedings for con
 tempt of court. To this he answered
 that there was no law by which he could be punished for refusing to yield the papers. A lively wrangle fol lowed. The law referred to by the lawyer was produced. but Mir O'Neill produced another book containing a law which was especially passed to annual the law referred to by the ad-
 ministrator. This disposed of the question of punishment for contempt and the lawyer produced the papers which showed that they had been signed as was claimed by MT O'Neill. l that is, they gave the administrators power to dispose of the stock as he saw best for the interests of the eS- tate.
 Judge Wheeler of the superior court i handed down few decisions to-day. In the matter of the Dime Savings bank against Paul F. McAlenny, exc ! cutOr. q motion to cite in the latter as l co-defendant was allowed. Paul Me
 Alenny is the sole heir and devisee of the late. Joseph Cassidy. who died in i Meriden some years ago. The point l in dispute now is over a certain par eel of real estate which deceased be- | Oueathed the defendant and raised q mortgage on, believing he owned the lot, whereas he had no right to it. The most singular feature in the case l is that the town clerk of Meriden gave i the bank certificate to the effect that I MT Cassidy's title to the property was l perfect. 1 Judgment for foreclosure was grant 1 ed the Dime Savings bank and Will l liam Tyler against w.
