ton of eX-Judge Chauncey II. Beasley,
representing Mrs. Elizabeth T. QuaIey,
Harvey Wiley Corbett and other stock
holders of the Magnesia-Asbestos Com
pany. of America. Chancellor
Walker signed an order to-day staying
the sale of the plant of the Stone Age
Company by the Sheriff of Essex Coun-
ty. The sale was to take place to-mor-
row under a decree of foreclosure adj
vised by Vice-Chancellor Howell in pro-
ceedings instituted by Edward Lusi and
others.
The Stone Age Company is a sub
sidiary of the Observation-Disclosures Com
pany, $4,000 of whose stock Mrs Mary
Nevins Bull says she was induced to
purchase through fraudulent representa-
tons made by John A. Qualey, its presi-
dent, and Corbett. Mrs. Qualey and her
fellow stockholders charge that Lusi and
the other mortgage and judgment credi-
tors of the Stone Age Company have
conspired to force the sale at this time
in order to take advantage of the depre-
ciated value caused by the criminal pro-
ceedings instigated by Mrs. Bull QuaIey
himself in an affidavit sworn to on Sat
urday declared that Lusi told him it
was his purpose to force the sale of the
property at the lowest price possible
Qualey's affidavit places the present
value of the Newark plant at $685., 900.
and SAYS that up to the time Mrs Bull
made her charges there We're sufficient
funds in the treasury to complete it.
The order of Tice-Chancellor Walker re-
uuires Lusi and the complainant in the
foreclosure proceedings to show cause
on Tuesday why the judgment should
not be reopened.
