LEGAL FRAUD SEEN
IN B. & 0. DEAL
Stockholders of C. & A. 0p-
pose Acquisition of Road
in Brief to |. C. c.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Charging that acquisition Of the Chi
cage & Alton Railroad by the Baltimore
81 Ohio would be legal fraud, stock
holders Of the c. & A. line today filed
a brief with the Interstate Commerce
Commission claiming an equity Of
$65, 000, 900 in the road.
They charged that the Baltimore d
Ohio, which purchased the Chicago d
Alton in bankruptcy sale, was seeking
to evade hearing of the merits OF
the claims of the stockholders: that
the B. g. o. had bought bonds from
Kuhn, Loeb g. Co., New York bank
ing firm, after the road had notice that
fraud in issuing the bonds had been
charged. and that Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
had prevented the stockholders from
proposing q plan of reorganization by
promising to cooperate as soon as It'll
cation over bond issues was completed.
The stockholders, through the Stock
holders Protective Committee, recently
sought to intervene in the application
of the Alton Railroad Co. for permis-
sion to take over the old company and
a companion petition of the Baltimore
a. Ohio to acquire all of the stock OF
the Alton company. The B. & 0. OPP
posed this intervention.
The Chicago g. Alton, after being in
the hands of receivers for a number
Of years, was sold on order Of an
Illinois Federal Court. The court re-
fused to permit the stockholders TO
intervene.
The Stockholders Committee claims
the Baltimore g. Ohio refused to give
them a copy of its memorandum and
that they learned of it only by chance
and obtained a copy through courtesy
of the commission.
The stockholders fixed the value Of
the road at at least 100000, O00,"
and claimed an equity of at least
Sos, 600, 900 over the indebtedness.
The brief termed inaccurate a state
ment of the Baltimore & Ohio that
court records disclose that the claims
that must be recognized and paid
ahead of the stock are in excess Of

and Daniel Mills, a taxi driver.
Applegate's version also differed from
the others in that he said the man
seen running from the scene wore a
straw hat. The others said he was
hatless.
Did you ever hear of any reward in
this case?" the Kentucky horseman was
asked under cross-examination.
"Yes, I read about something in the
newspapers"
"Do you know the amount?"

ANY one ever tell you you might get
