pany Refused Here.

Justice Davis heard argument and re-
served decision yesterday on a motion to
reopen a judgment for $4,000 taken by de-
fault by Edward \ Hartman against the
bankrupt Alabama Securities Company.
The claim had been assigned TO Hartman
by Jabez T. Odell. Il we'll known railroad
expert. who had done some work for the
defendant.
The Alabama Securities Company was a
concern controlled bv the late Alexander
Mcdonald. Of Cincinnati, director of the
Standard Oil Company and railroad man,
and his son-in-law. Edmund X. Static.
Counsel said YESTERDAY that when the suit
came to trial Mcdonald was near death
and Stallo was too sick to attend The
lawyer argued that OdelI was not entitled
10 anything for his services. as ne had
entered into an intrigue with the late Ed
ward II. Hartman against the interests Of
the securities company The allegation was
denied by counsel for DdelI.
OdelI's counsel also filed an affidavit that
said General Brayton Ives, president OF the
Metropolitan Trust Company. obtained 10,
500 shares in two railroad companies for
lending Sl.5o1,000 TO the Alabama Securities
Company. The latter concern was organ
lied 70 build the Alabama. Mississippi &
Tennessee Railroad. but the project went
TO pieces in the panic of 1867. when Me
DonaId's associates left the whole thing on
his shoulders.

Chicago packers getting their cases out of
the hands of Judge Kenesaw Lands,

way to investigate the so-called trust with
