tions of the defendants. Bosworth' as

the directors $4,000 alleged to have
been illegally expended by them ana
s2O1. 900 which one Van Laningham re-
ceiyed in commissions under MS con-
tract with the association for the SAFE
of 1900 shares of its capital stock.

In seeking to recover the S4o,ooo'
Bosworth, as trustee in bankruptcy
alleged that the money had been lie
gally expended before the association
was properly organized. The money
he said, was disbursed by Giltner ana
tho other defendants to themselves
and others between October H. 1914
and July IA, 1916, in payment OF eH-
nenses incurred in transactlng DUST

The trustees in bankruptcy contend

business was transacted so per cent
of the capital stock Of the assoc'atio
had not been subscribed in good faitl
and therefore, was prohibited by oee

~
Me

Tho old State house In Boston WAS
erected In 1743 In early days the
first floor was used as the Merchants
exchange, and the second story as the
meeting place of the governors of the
province and the royal council. A few
feet from the eastern porch occurred
the Boston massacre on March 5. 1776.
In 1850 Washington reviewed from
this building procession In his honor,
and In 1895 William Lloyd Garrison
took refuge there TO escape from the
mob that had broken up an anti-slav
cry meeting and threatened his Ifs.
In later years the building was turned
into business offices and was so much
altered. inside and outside, as almosl
to destroy the original architectural
effect. In 1881 1t was restored by the
city Mt the request of the pnblic-spir
tied citizens. and Is now in the custody
of the Bostonlan society, which occu-
pies 1t. The rooms, including the old
council chamber and hall OF represent
ativee, contain n collection of relics
and paintings of revolutionary times.
