pany and the F. VI. Hauslng Company from pro-
ceeding with the work Of tearing down buildings
West Thrty-second and West Thirty-third SITS. to
prepare for the erection Of the new Pennsylvania
terminal station Justice Leventritt had granted
order permitting the defendants TO go on with
the demolition pending his decision
The plaintiffs declared that they, with the Jump
company. agreed to combine TO the amount OF
the bid. The profit to be divided equally be-
tween them. The highest bid was about SITOO0
which the Pennsylvania Railroad Company rejected
too low. and the defendants then broke away
from the combination and offered $1,000 which was
accepted. The plaintiffs then brought the intunc-
ton suit. cOntending that the Jump and Hausling
companies had violated the agreement by which
they were to divide the profits.
Justice Leventritt says the plaintiffs do not
come into court with clean hands. He adds
So far from this being a harmless Joint venture
between several persons on one SIDE and a private
party on the other. fencing for contract under
the most advantageous terms. the papers dis
close what comes very close to a conspiracy, and
in any event, amounts to such fraud on the rights
