In the superior court at New Lon don on Friday Judge Case resumed the trial of the case of Dr. Frank M. Dunn ys. Manwaring Memorial hospital, a suit brought by the plaintiff for $2O,000 danlageY and for an injunction to re- strain the defendant from further pro- ceeding to tear down the building in which the plaintiff has his dwelling and office as a physician and surgeon, and also for a mandatory injunction to compel the defendant to restore the chimneyss the roof, water and electric light. of which he claims to have been deprived.
 This is the case where the hospital are about to erect a large business block on the site of the Dunn build ing in which pr. Dunn claims that ne has a lease of the entire second floor for the next three years.
 The arguments in the case were be- gun by Donald G. Perkins for the plaintiff, who claimed that Dr. Dunn, being in peaceable possession Of hls apartments as tenant, under the iaW, could not be removed forcibly by the landlord. He argued that the law in such cases required the landlord to re- sort to legal proceedings and would not justify the use of superior force. He contended that the law was so that evens if the defendants had removed pr. Dunn by force from his apart n1ents the statute relating to forcible entry and detainer provided that the courts should restore the tenant so elected and that the law relating to landlord and tenant and to forcibie entry alone established the legal right of possession In the plaintiff and made 1t incumbent upon the court by in. function to safeguard that right and protect the plaintiff in the occupancy 3f his apartments as well as to require inc defendants to restore the premises to their former condition of good re- nair and usefulness. MT. Perkins cited law cases in support of his con- tention.

HOSPITAL WOULD EXTEND S8O,OOO
Claim Made in Dr. Dunns Injunction Case-f Blocked Now
 Corporation Will Lose $15,ooo-Dr. Dunn Stands on
 His Lease-Is Still Occupying the Partly Demolished
 Building. .

Major Hadlai Hull in behalf of the defendants argued that the defendants were under contracts already entered into to erect a building on the Dunn site that would entail an expenditure of about 80,006, and that if the de- fendants could not take down the Dunn building they would suffer a loss through their contracts of S15,000. He maintained that it was not fair nor just that this great enterprise of the hospital corporation should be held uf for three years to come. He urged that the great interests involved to the corporation and to New London ought to weigh against the interfer- ence by the court with the defendants taking down the Dunn building.
 There was a colloquy between the attorney and the judge in which MT. Hull claimed that the contentious of MT. Perkins were not we'll grounded, He further urged that the court should grant no injunction, but leave the plaintiff to go out or be put out by the defendant and then resort to his legal rights to receive such damages as his dispossession might cause. He fur ther contended that the three year lease was invalid, that President Charles B. Graves had no authority or right to give it, and that 1t was done without the knowledge or assent of his fellow trustees of the hospital cor poration.
 Attorney William H. Shields made the closing argument for the plaintiff. He took up for discussion the question of the validity of the three year lease under which Dr. Dunn was now hold ing. He pointed out that the presi- dent of the corporation in giving the three year lease in the name of the corporation had exercised an authority that was left to him by the board of trustees when they committed the whole care and management of their property to him. He pointed out that the evidence showed that Dr. Graves had executed in the name of the hos p1tal two prior leases to Dr. Dunn for four years and lease to MT. Darrow for five years, that through his brother, James M. Graves, a real estate agent, the president attended to all the leas1ngs of the property and to all the collections of the rents and practically did every act of management and con trol over the real estate.
 He called attention to the fact that the first lease signed by the president to Dr. Dunn was drawn by the Hon. Alfred Colt. then andsn now one of the trustees of the corporation; that MT. Colt also inserted in the second lease In his own handwriting the term of three years for which the plaintiff was to hold, and also that MT. Colt when the controversy arose admitted to pr. Dunn that his lease was legal and binding one upon the corporation and that the president of the corpora ton himself In his last talk with the plaintiff admitted that he considered the three year lease as binding and legal. The attorney claimed that the

true measure of the presidents au- thority were the acts that he was per mitted invariably to do.
 MT. Shields called the attention of the court to the outrage that had been done to Dr. Dunn and his wife by the action of the defendants. picturing the desolation in which they now were living, without light, without heat, without water, with their apartments exposed to rain and cold. In closing MT. Shields urged the court to apply the powerful remedy of injunction to this case by restraining the defendants from taking down the building and by compelling them to restore the build ing to it's former condition of useful ness
 Judge Case took the papers in th9 cause for further consideration and the court adjourned till next Tuesday.
