A Number of improvements
are Necessary.
Receiver for the c., ID. & NJ. Opposes
the Bond Issue Because IL Affects
Stock and Bond Holders i'm the
Company for Which He is the Re-
ceiver.

A decision was promised not later
than Saturday by Judge Daniel Babst
on application of receiver George
Whysall and Fred e. CUTLERY to is
sue 900 IN receivers certificates
to complete the Columbus Marion
and Bucyrus railroad according TO
contract and specifications.
The hearing ON the application was
concluded late yesterday afternoon
IN the court OF common pleas. George
Whysall testified and gave his esti-
mates Of the work necessary to put
the line ih good condition. Mr.. Why
sail said that it was necessary for
the G. VI. and Is. to have lts own
power house and thus save about
$500 per month for each car 1t oper-
ates on the line and also to furnish
and sell power. He stated that it was
necessary to ballast part of the line;
to build small shelter stations for
passengers along the road; to buy
equipment and to have a car shop
and make other improvements, all OF
which, according to hls figures would
cost over 100000. He also produced
the estimate of Engineer G. l..
Leavenworth, sent here by the bond
holders committee. Mr.. Leavenwortn
estimated the necessary improve
ments at $4,000 but did not include
some that Mr. Whysall deemed
necessary.
Mr. Whysall was cross-examined
by Harry West, son of Eli M. West
receiver OF the c. ID. and NJ. and
kindred properties, and Attorney
w. p. Moloney, who represented the
receiver of tine U. d. and NJ
Attorney f.. e. CUTLERY the CORE
ceiver, was called to the stand by
the interests opposing the granting
OF the order ito issue certificates.
1t was urged that issuing certif-
q. M. and b. will result in a manifest
injury to the stockholders and bond
holders OF THE road and will mean
that the holders of the certificates
will come In and take the property.
leaving the stockholders and bond
holders cut in the cold The re
ceiver for the q. ID. and M. opposed
the granting of the order because
the bonds of the G. M, and B. are
guaranteed by the stockholders OF
the G. D. and Nj. In the first ten
months of operation, the testimony
shows, the gross receipts of the c.
NJ. and b. We're $4,000. The receipts
for October showed a gain but it is
claimed by Attorney West that even
with the increased earnings being
the company win be. un-
able to pay it's interest charges dr
the certificates are ISSUED.
It Is the contention OF Mr., Whysall
The Marion daily mirror. (Marion, Ohio) 1892-1912, 1909-12-17

that the Improvements will make
the earnings capacity of the line
much greater and that the road will
not be in danger or railing to pay
hts interest charges.
1t was brought out by Attorney
West that the suggestion that nerti-
ficates be issued came from Guy M.
Walker, member of THE bond
holders committee, who is the
trustee In the trust of the John G..
Webb estate. Attorney West claims
that the Webb construction company
of which Mr.. Wnysall Is manager,
and John G.. Webb is president, was
obliged to complete Ithe road accord
ing to specifications which 1t did not
do. Mr.. Whysall said that as general
manager OF the company and also
OF the G. M. and b. he did not
think that it was his duty to see
that the Webb construction COM
pany completed the road before ii
was turned over to the operating
company.
The decision of Judge Babst will
be awaited with interest.
The court will also decide at the
same time q motion of Eli NJ. West
that he os receiver OF the G. ID. and
M. be made party defendant with
leave to tile am answer ito the petit
hon in the receivership case OF the
G. M. and b.

A Jail delivery occurred at the city
prison shortly after noon Friday
when friends of Mike Lawrence
broke through a window, pried open
a heavy Yale lock and fled with
the prisoner.
Lawrence was. arrested at IL
o'clock by Patrolman Bell on a
charge OF intoxication. He was also
wanted in mayors court in default
OF paying a fine of s5 which was as
sessed about six months ago for
drunkenness. The police had been
looltng for him for six months. He
evidently knew that he was liable
| to a work house sentence and took
desperate chances ITO avoid it.
Shortly after Lawrence's arrest
two friends appeared at police head
quarters and demanded his release.
It was refused. 1t is thought that
the same parties com eived the plan
TO deliver the prisoner.
The Chief of Police was much
surprised upon returning from dinner
to find the prisoner escaped A brok-
en- glass in an east window showed
where the rescuers had entered ITO
the cells They had undoubtedly
used a small crow bar in prying
open the large lOk which sealed
the prison door. The lock was APP
parently hut little damaged.
The police Immediately tested out
the locks and found that they were
in bad condition. BY humping them
slightly against the side I the cells
the tumblers readily sprang and the
lock was released. The locks Will be
returned to the Yale company foi
examination The police had no idea
that they could be entered so easily
as the Yale lock company guaran'
tees the PRISON lock TO be proof
against burglary or Jail delivery
The police know the parties VINO
did the work and arrests will occul
soon.
