cision Of the District Court Of Appeals,
John j. Blackman, a carpenter. of New
Britain, Conn, has been declared to

Meridian Conn, whose place of bust
ness Biackman often visited. The
scheme of doye-tailing blocks 50 as to

been discussed, and explained by
Blackman 10 Alexander, in September,
1900. A month later Alexander. it is
said went to Blackmau and told him

vice. in his own name. Blackman feel
