SEEKING ID HAVE
 DEEDS CANCELLED
Petition Is Filed In Chancery Court By EberSoIeS Con-
 Cerning Realty

Seeking to have 10 deeds cancelled, a petition was filed in the chancery di- vision of the circuit court yesterday by c. D. Ebersole and wife, Jennie Fiber sole against the Alabama Home Build ing and Loan association in lieu of fore closure of mortgages on property hel1 by the defendant.
 It is also asked that an accounting tC ascertain the amount due respondent from complainant to entitle them to re- deem said property and granting com plainant the right to redeem also to assess the damages to complainant for property rents collected by defendant on said property.
 It is alleged that the defendant built and were given mortgages on property to cover buildings and the complainants were unable to meet the payments on these mortgages.
 According to the allegations of the pe- tition, it was mutually agreed that tho complainants turn mortgaged property over to the defendant corporation by deeds i'll lieu or rorecloSure, reSerVlng compliments the privilege to redeem said property within four years by pay ing the mortgage indebtedness and s per cent interest.
 Relying on said representation, the complainants executed the deeds, which, it is alleged operated as a release to re- spondents of compliments equity of re- demption under the mortgage accord ing to the petition.
 It is further alleged that the respond ent manager took advantage of com plainants in compelling the execution Of these deeds. Rents from the property received by respondents totalled s20Oo0, it was stated in the petition.
 Complainants have demanded the priv ilege of redemption from the respondent which it has refused to allow, on the grounds that the property should have been redeemed within two years from the date of execution of the deed to com plainants damage in the sum of 900.
 The compliments allege that fraud by the management prevented the deeds from expressing the true intention of parties as to the time within which the redemption should be allowed by means of which the execution of the deeds was unlawfully procured.
