has been holding this stock back for
ten years, voting 1T as his own In
meetings of the company and draw
ing dividends upon it. Doyle alleges
that Burns has 23s,000 shares be-
longing to the former, while Burns
has heretofore denied that he had
any of Doyle's stock in his possession.
The verdict was in Burns favor at

ing the certificate for 1000 shares
from ]. r. Bischoff, former book
