Office and urged Morris Roseubledt TO
take Il, but the latter declined, &C.
cording to evidence given yesterday

Marston Campbell, superintendent Of
public works, and others.
A rather sensational encounter be.
tween Mr. Campbell and Attorney Pc
tiers marked the taking of testimony
in the case Monday afternoon. The
suit concerns the site of the residence
which Doctor Frear occupies on Judd
street.
il his complaint Doctor Frear says
Morris Rosenbledt entered into an
agreement with him on january 2,
1908, giving him an option on the
premises with right of purchase for
$1,000 within three years. The prop
erty contains an area Of 653S square
feet, the entrance being on Punahou
street opposite Bingham street. He
alleges that on August &c, 1910, he
orally expressed to Rosenbledt his ac-
eeptance of the option Of purchase and
rendered him the $1,000, at the same
time asking for a deed. On September
- last he notified Rosenbledt in writ
ing, again rendered the money and re-
quested a deed. Rosenbledt declined
to accept the money or deliver the
deed. Therefore Doctor Frear asks
Judge Robinson to order Rosenbiedt to
carry out the agreement.
Rosenbledt's Denial.
Morris Roseubledt, in his answer,
says the premises are subject to
mortgage. He denies that Doctor
Frear requested deed ON the dates
mentioned in accordance with the terms
of the agreement. He also declares
complainant disregarded the covenants
of the indenture and option and has
not "'donc all things required of him
by said agreement"
