Superior Court.

The trial of the case of Gilbert H. Storrs of Mansfield against Alfred Odin was begun before Judge Marcus H. Holcomb in the superior court at Rockville Monday. The suit is for $6OOO damages. The plaintiff claims that he bought fifty shares of stock in the Odin Dry Battery company of New York, with the understanding that the money was to be put in the business, and alleges that it was not put in, but was used by MT. Odin himself. The first witness was the plaintiff, who told of the purchase of the stock, for which he gave a note, and shortly afterwards the money was paid, in several payments. He sad the company was in need of capital, and in February, 1910, there was a reorganization, the concern taking the name of the Argus Dry Battery company and moving to Willimantic and New York. Shortly there after the directors met and voted MT. Odin out; then at subsequent meeting he (Storrs) was voted out. He later borrowed $500 on a note from MT. Odin, giving him as collateral se- curity shares of the battery company stock. He said it was after the re- organization that he was told MT. Odin had not put the $5OOO he paid for the stock into the business. Ed gar F. Storrs, father of the plaintiff, and Mrs Storrs testified that they urged Gilbert to take stock in the Odin Dry Battery company. as from representations made by MT. Odin they believed it was a good invest ment. Odin, who conducts a store in Mansfield, when calling at their house, as he did weekly for orders, had frequently talked with them on the bright prospects of the venture and urged them to persuade Gilbert to invest therein. The trial was con- cluded yesterday. Instead of making arguments, the attorneys, Charles Phelps and William A. King for the plaintiff, and Lewis Sperry and Sam uel B. Harvey for the defense, will file briefs with the judge. The de- fense was heard yesterday. Odin stated that of the $5, 900 he received from Storrs, $2,OOO was paid into the treasury of the concern, and for the other 5000 Storrs received eighteen and two thirds shares of his (Odin's) stock and eighteen and two-thirds shares of stock owned by MT. Spicer of New York, manager of the Odin Dry Battery company. In the spring of 1910, at a meeting of the Argus Dry Battery company, Odin said he was asked to resign as president. He didn't resign, and the directors elected William Arnold president. This was done, he stated, because the men in Willimantic wished to get control of the company. The plain titf's attorneys put George K. Ander- son, Gilbert H. Storrs and Edgar F. Storrs on the stand in rebuttal. MT. Anderson stated that one of the req sons that MT. Odin was not continued as president was owing to his actions relative to the money secured from MT. Storr's stock. They felt that the entire $5,OOO should have been put into the business instead of only part thereof
