 At the trial considerable interesting testimony was brought out A num- | Der of prominent business men testi- fled that the paint" was arotten'' and not paint at all. The evidence also showed that the plaintiff and defend ant Bursey had entered into a secret agreement, whereby the latter was to pc exempt from the payment of the szoo into the pool Judge Burpee scored the transaction in his decision Part 0I the Courts finding as applied to Warshow follows:
 He has plainly violated conscience ana good faith fin his conduct in the matters of controversy. He does not come with clean hands. He has acted In bad faith both with his Associates and with the public who have been or may be affected by the consequences or this scheme. which was corruption In its origin and corrupting in it's tendencies The court therefore re- fuses to interfere in his behalf or to give him any remedy.
 Moreover. 1t fortunately appears that there are no creditors of this so- called partnership. and that there were no profits in the business the defend- ants did: and it was not proved that they had violated the terms of the agreement. The action is dismissed without costs to any party"
