Tuesday morning the bankruptcy case
of the Green Mountain Manufacturing
Company came on for hearing before
Frank f. Miles. About everyone in
terested anticipated an extended hear
ing-perhaps two weeks-but IN the
afternoon, after hours of conference
between attorneys of the several factions
and a great deal of mutual concession
it was announced that an amicable adj
iustment had been reached. In sub
stance the result follows: OF the three
mortgages involved, the last was de-
clared void and its proceeds, $500,
turned into the estate the first two
mortgages we're held valid and their
proceeds about $4,000, turned over to
the mortgages; the claim OF j. NJ
Brown for services as general manager
for three months prior to bankruptcy
was allowed as preferred and the un-
secured claims of j. Nj. and A. Nj
Brown were disallowed other claims
we're satisfactorily adiusted-with one
or two exceptions-and it is probable
that this estate will pay from 40c to 40
on the dollar. Messrs. Redmond and
Blake appeared for the mortgages
Messrs. Cook and Hunt for the Trustees
and Mr.. O'Donough, Boston attorney
represented Lawrence & Wiggin,
heavy creditor.
