The claim represented the balance due on an assignment made by the defendant to the plaintiff of his in. terest in the estate of the defendants brother, Frank Lewis Fisk, late of Stafford. The plaintiff claimed that at a meeting to make final settlement, in the Springfield national bank, the defendant wrongfully seized and retained the amount that was due the plaintiff Frank Lewis Fisk was found dead in his house in Stafford, where he lived alone, in January, 1914. The heirs at.law were four brothers, to whom the estate of the dead man went in equal shares. At the time of his death it was thought | that the estate would amount to about SIS, 900. The plaintiff bought from the defendant the ons-fourth interest 10 which he would be entitled paying him $250 in cash and a check for s3, 900. The estate was finally settled n August, 1914, in the probate court 1t Stafford, and it developed that the estate was larger than at first thought, and amounted to $2O,00O. The de- fendant received from the estate a check for nearly $5, 900, and he and | the plaintiff came to Springfield and had it oashed at the Springfield | national bank. There was due to the | plaintiff from the defendant the sum of $1,750, and they went into the directors room for the purpose of having this matter settled. He de- clared, however, that the defendant kept the entire amount, except $4OO, which he paid over to the plaintiff. This left $1 $50, for which the plain- tiff brought suit.
