AHEARN WANTS NEW TRIAL.
Former Borough President Fights
Against S11,942 Judgment.

Former Borough President John 2
Ahearu is still contesting the judgment
of 11942 which a Supreme Court jury
rendered against him and in favor of Will
lam H Walker who by the same verdict
was restored to the Office of Superintend
ent of Public Buildings, from which Ahearn
removed him in 1907.
Ahearn has made motion before Justice
Mccall for a new trial Of the action on
the ground Of newly discovered evidence.
This evidence consists OF agreement
which it is said Walker made with John
R. Eoorhis, his successor in office. that If
he would not intervene as d respondent
Walker would not Try to collect 5000 which
had been paid 10 Voorhis as salary before
the Court of Appeals decision in the SINH
lar case of James G. Collins. Counsel for
Ahearn argued that If Ahearn could be
held personally liable the Corporation Coun-
sci could also be held for the amount of
the Judgment. as Ahearn had acted upon
his advice
Counsel for Walker in opposing the mo-
ton maintained that the so-cailed newly
discovered evidence was known 10 the for
mer Borough President months before the
trial of the suit. The arrangement between
Walker and Toorhis. counsel asserted. was
entirely legal. and was made to avoid a
complication OF the issues. Walkers legal
representatives argued that if Ahearn had
any remedy it was by inducing the Legis-
lature to pass an enabling act which would
permit the city 10 pay Walker his arrears
OF salary
Ahearn has made several efforts 10 have
Walkers judgment entered against the
city. instead of against him personally. but
the court ruled contrary TO his contention.
Another 5000 of Walkers salary is tied
up in the Office of the City Chamberlain. as
Voorhis received no salary after the de-
csion in the Collins case. This amount will
be deducted from the amount of the judg
ment against Ahearn.
