piled TO Judge LurtOR OF the United States Court.
for authority by which the Cincinnati. Hamilton &
Dayton ends all connection with the transaction.
When the merger OF the roads was attempted in
Iulv 1904 the ARRANGEMENT was that the Pere Mar
quette should purchase the capital stock or the
Cincinnati Chicago & Louisville. amounting 20
81 2O6OO issuing il PeTe Marquette bonds to tho
amount OF S35010GQ. which were held by a Boston
trust company. The Cincinnati Chicago q Louis

Ouette declared the purchase Illegal and refused
10 ratify IT. and later. Mr.. Harmon. OF the en-
cnnati. Hamilton & Dayton. on behalf Of that road
disaVOWed the transaction. The issuing OF some

been the cause OF much litigation Holders or the
bonds sued for interest due.
