 At the time it was admitted that the purchaser was acting for a com pany in which his son, Hugh M. Rock well was financially interested. Sub- sequently the Rockwell-Drake corpo- ration erected a factory building on the land and they now have the plant in opera ton.
 The deeds show that the property was first transferred from MT. Rock well to his son, who subsequently, gave title to the Rockwell-Drake people.

RockWeH gives considerable assistance to his son and the latter's associates 1n the newly reorganized company.
