kL0Sk0WSKI WINS SUIT AGAINST zUK
Real Estate Agent Allowed Com.
 mission on Property Sale

The claim of Joseph Kloskowski to the effect that Joseph M. Zuk secret ly sold property to defraud the for mer of his commission az an agent. has been upheld by Judge Henry P. Roche of the city court in rendering judgment for the plaintiff in the amount of $392. B. J. Monkiewicz appeared for Kloskowski.
 The action alleged that the plain- tin. . real estate broker, was retain ed by the defendant, Zuk, to sell or trade his property and that the plaintiff, through his employees, pro- cured . customer for Zuk but that Zuk secretly sold the property di- rect and in collusion with the other defendants so as to defraud the plaintiff of his commission. The properties in question are located on Hayes street and on Silver street.
 The finding of Judge Roche Is as follows:
 "The witnesses for the plaintiff tell a connected and reasonable story of the facts alleged and in view of the fact that testimony was that the defendant, Joseph Zuk, expressly asked the plaintiff not to be present at the sale or to do anything further in connection with the customer as he feared that by having a broker present the sale might be spoiled.
 'The witnesses for the defendant tell contradictory story and Joseph Zuk denies that he ever was in the office of the plaintiff or that he had any conversation relative to the Hayes street house and that he had not entered the office of the plain- tiff for period of three to five years before the occurrence complained of, and that previous dealings were with regard to the purchase of a steam ship ticket, which were the only dealings he ever had with the plain- tiff.
 "The contradiction and denial of this defendant, and of the other wit nesses renders the story of the de- fendant's witnesses unbelievable and for this reason judgment is given for the plaintiff to recover damages of $332 as commission on the Hayes street house and costs. Commission on the Silver street lot Is not allow ed as 1t was taken in part payment for the house,
 It was claimed by the plaintiff that the defendants placed the prop critics in the names of others and then did business without consider ing the plaintiff.
