The Herald tomorrow will say that

press is mapped out an elaborate cam

against time is inspired by the COM

LOSES SUIT AGAINST
HIS TWIN BROTHER
Frank B. Hood Fails to Recover
Eneryville Property Sold to
Fred H. Hood
Judge Harris Decides Charge of
Mental Incompetency Is !.
Not Sustained

OAKLAND, Dec. Frank B. Hood
failed in his attempt to recover prop
erty in Emeryville which he had sold
to his twin brother, Fred H. Hood,
while mentally incompetent, as he al
legged. In addition to the return of
the property he demanded $4,000 dam
ages.
The burden of proving his mental
incompetence at the time of the sale,
rested upon the plaintiff" said Judge
Harris, "and in the opinion of this
court the plaintiff has failed. to prove
that his mind was in an incompetent
condition. Judgment is therefore given
for the defendant, Fred B. Hood"
The suit between the twin brothers,
who are men of wealth, and have
prominent connections, attracted at
tention because of the bitterness with
which the battle was carried on in the
courts.
ACCUSES HIS BROTHER
Frank Hood the plaintiff, charged
that his brother had taken advantage
of him at time when he had broken
down from overwork. At that time, he
said, he had been induced to sell to the
defendant property between Shell
Mound park and the Judson iron works
at Emeryville, for $17,500. A cannery
occupies the site. In his complaint
Hood charged that the property was
worth $4,000.
The testimony revealed the fact that
Frank Hood had previously sold the
property to a realty firm and that the
brothers then engaged in conspiracy
to regain it. Fred Hood wrote a letter
In which he said that his brother Frank
was incompetent, that he did not real
ize what he was doing and that the
sale ought to be stopped. This had
the desired result. and afterward Fred
Hood took it from Frank.
TESTIFY FOR FRED HOOD
Judge Morrow of the United States
circuit court and Judge Burnett of the
state appellate court relatives of the
litigants, were witnesses who testified
in favor of Fred Hood. Their mother
also said that Frank was in good men
tai condition at the time of the sale.
Judge Harris was Influenced by her
testimony and said today that she was
probably in the best position to Judge.
Mrs. Hood said that had the plaintiff
gone to his brother and told him that
he had changed his mind about the
deal, it, probablv would have been de-
clared off.
