sell II to another man for enough
money to build a perfectly good house.
This Is the opinion Of Judge William
A. Moncure, Of the Chancery court,
who yesterday afternoon handed down
his decision in the case Of Mitchell
against Straus, which has been in
the Chancery court for some three
years.
Before giving his decision Judge
Moncure had made thorough study

The evidence Is the CAGE which Ia
that that portion OF West Avenue on
which the house IN question, was built

To them, we would respectfully
