 Cryil Johnson has won his law suit against the Hardman Rubber Go. of Belleville, N. J. MT. Johnson holds $1O, 900 of preferred stock in the com- pany. Notwithstanding the fact that the company has done a profitable business, he has not been paid divi- dends for three years. The Hard mans, who are the principal owners of the rubber company, also control the Belleville Land and Improvement company, and MT. Johnson is a credi- tor of the latter company to the amount of $53, 900, secured by mort gage. MT. Johnson in his suit alleged false entries in the books and other of hazarding his interest, both in the rubber company and in the land con- pany. MT. Johnson had an expert accountant on the books of the com- k0 ch hn ,rkI a number of fraudulent entries. It has been a long, hard fight, but at the finish of the first round the complain ant gets a decision, with costs and counsel fee. MT. Johnson will con- tinue the good work, his next move being for a receiver of the company. Uncle Cyril would have been glad of an amicable settlement at the start, but now that he has started to fight he will continue until the finish. The indications are that the Hardman Rubber company will be sorry it was naughty. The complainant will not meet with financial loss if, as a result of the litigation, he secures control of the two companies, which he is quite likely to do. On the other hand, the Hardman company has been very seri- sously handicapped by the disclosures that the trial has brought out.
