MERCHANT REFUSES TO PAY FOR
GOODS VOLUNTARILY PuR-
chased FROM TkusT.

st. Louis, June 26-In the circuit
court Judge Ryan decided In favor OF
q purchaser who contended that he
does not have to pay for goods which
he voluntarily bought from q concern
which, he alleges, is member OF a
so-called trust The CahiliSwift Man
ufacturing company had brought suit
for t240 against Joseph e. Walsh. q
plumber. on the allegation that Walsh
had bought goods to the value OF the
Judgment asked and had refused to
pay for them. Walsh acknowledged
that this was true and stated he had
Installed the goods In q fiat. His
counsel termed the company trust"
and argued that the defendant did not
have to pay for goods bought from a
trust any more than he would have to
pay gambling debt. Walsh's de-
tense was based solely upon hts anti
trust argument and the courts de-
oisiOn was In his favor.
