Edgar n. Leventritt, who was Tur-

value OF his holdings. Hamilton offered
81 900 for Turner's share. which the lat
ter accepted and the deal was closed.
Turner believed that this transaction
relieved him OF all connection with the
firm, and closed all accounts. Asked
why Turner had been prevailed upon to

be made against him."
