Case Transferred

Upon argument of that motion,
the court, instead Of dismiSsing
the suit, transferred the same to
the law side of the court as au-
thorized by Section 1881 Of the
Code and Law Rule Number SO
of this court, with directions to
the plaintiff to make such
amendments in the pleadings as
would be necessary to make them
conform to the practice relative
to the prosecution Of suits at
law"
The plaintiff, in carrying out
this mandate of the court, made
very few changes in the pleading
originally filed in the equity side
of the court. The sufficiency Of
the declaration was tested by a
motion to strike which the court
granted, giving plaintiff permiS-
sion to file an amended declara-
tion.
In the suit in equity, Albert e.
Peirce and Central Public Service
Corporation were named as de.
PENDANTS. They were likewise
named as defendants in the dec
laration filed on the law side of
the court. Although Peirce was
named a defendant in both the
bill in equity and in the declara-
ton filed prior to the filing of
the declaration here in question,
the pleadingS in each instance
disclosed that Peirce was acting
in the transaction in no other
capacity except as an officer and
agent of Central Public Service
Corporation.
While that question was not
before the court when the prior
motion was argued, the court
nevertheless, in sustaining the
motion to strike the declaration,
called to the attention of plain
tiff'S counsel that the declaration
did not state a cause of action
against either Peirce or the Cen
tral Public Service Corporation,
stating as to Peirce the declara-
ton disclosed that he acted only
in a representative capacity; and
as to the Central Public Service
Corporation, that it had agreed
with plaintiff to do an illegal
act something prohibited by the
So-called Anti-Merger Law.

"(2) It is plain that this new
cause Of action could not be
invoked to overthrow the valid
ity Of the release in the con-
tract for the purpose Of per-
mitting q recovery upon the
causes Of action alleged in the
complaint. The error, If such

violation Of law or I'm viola
ton Of law was harmless, since
the prairie fire statute is the
only law which it is claimed
was violated, and this statute
was specially pleaded in the
reply and was not stricken.
"(3) Assuming that the pro-
EOsed amendment charged the
willfuI destruction of plaintiffs
property, the cause of action
alleged was, as already said,
different in kind from those
stated in the complaint. The
amendment, had it been al
lowed, would have amounted to
the bringing Of an original suit
against the defendant as of that
date. But at that time the
cause Of action stated therein
was barred by the statute Of
limitations Of the State. The
fire occurred on October 22,
1921; the amendment was pro-
posed on the 10th day Of Janu-
ary, 1925. Under the Oklahoma
statute such an action must be
brought within two years. Since
the proposed amendment stated
q new cause of action that was
barred by the statute of limi-
tatiOnS, the trial court did not
err in refusing to allow the
amendment to be filed. Wheeler

The case is before the court on
motion to strike this amended
declaration in that it is not such
an amended declaration as was
authorized by the order of this
court to be filed. Motion is also
made to strike the amended de-
claration on the ground that it
violates subsection / of Law
Rules 81, in that it is prolix and
contains unnecessary verbiage;
and also violates Law Rules % in
that it does not state "only the
facts necessary to constitute a
cause Of action; and further that
1t violates the common law rules
Of pleading applicable in this dis
trict in that the declaration sets
forth the alleged cause Of action
in narrative form.
Kramer v. Gille ct al, 14O Fed.
682: In this case a petition was
filed in State court by the re-
ceiVer Of a corporation, alleging
that defendants who were stock.
holders and directors Of the cor
poration at time when it was in
solvent sold their stock to it at
par value for cash in fraud Of its
creditors. The receiver sought to
recover the sum so received by the
defendants. The cause having
been removed into the Federal
Court on motion was transferred
to the equity docket and he was
given leave to recaSt his petition
to conform to the rules Of equity
pleading.
Under such order he filed a So
called amended bill, alleging that
defendants exchanged their stock
for a stock Of goods of a stated
value, which was owned by the
corporation but stood in the name
Of another. The court held that
such bill would be stricken from
the files because it was not an
amendment of the original plead
ing, nor within the leave given by
stating different cause of action.
"The question now arises
whether this pleading is an
amendment to the original peti-
ton or complaint, or whether
it is substituted complaint, set
ting up a new cause of action,
but under the guise of the order
allowing q recasting Of the
pleading in the form Of a bill of
equity. ="

Tests Are Defined

els q separate cause of action
pleaded? The tests are, would
the same evidence sustain the
two bills? and is the measure of
damages the same? Under the
first pleading money was taken,
and the only evidence required
would be as to that fact. Mon
ey, Of course, is worth its face,
and evidence of its value would
not be heard"
Goods fluctuate in value,
and witnesses differ in opinion;
and evidence of value would be
required, and a finding would
have to be made. So that a
material difference as to the
measure Of damages is pre-
Sented. But, aside from that
question, the evidence would be
different. Under the one plead
ing. which would be established
by the production Of checks or
drafts Of the corporation, with
Endorsements thereon, and the
books Of the bank showing their
payment, or proof that actual
money was taken from the till
or money box Of the corpora
ton, and, however the money
was taken, proofs would be re-
quired that it was in payment
for the defendants shares of
stock.
"But entirely different evil
dence would be required under
the amended bill. Proofs would
be required that defendants
took the stock of goods in the
branch house. Evidence would
be required that the Evans
stock was owned by the original
corporation, and that the own
erShip and Indebtedness of the
two concerns were one and the
same; the creditors of both hav.
ing like rights. Then there
would be the question as to the
value when appropriated.

COURT To HEAR
SLAY|NG CASE

Prince Georges County's special
term of the circuit court entered
its second and final week today
with its two most important
cases yet to be tried.
The cases concern the self,
styled "Black Dillingers," charged
with the shooting Of John P.
Geary, gasoline station operator
at Priest Bridge, Md, and the
two charged with participation
in the famous Bladensburg tea
house Staying of 1881.
The former case, scheduled for
trial last week, was put off to
an indefinite date because of the
publicity and the fear of officials
that mob action at the trial
might result. One of the colored
men pleaded guilty to the slay-
ing, but the plea later was
changed to not guilty until he
can have the benefit of legal
counsel. In the other case, a
demurrer is pending.
Other cases awaiting trial are
the remainder of the 40 indict
ments brought in last week by
the grand jury. Scheduled for
trial today are three cases con
cerning sale of untaxed liquor,
and another of assault.

Oklahoma Case Cited

Sunlight Carbon Co. v. St.
Louis & S. F. r. Co. Is Fed. (2d)
602: This was a suit brought by
plaintiff against defendant rail
road company for the destruction
Of its plant located at Red Fork,
Tulsa County, Oklahoma, by fire.
Negligence was the ground of re-
covery relied upon in each of the
three counts of the declaration.
In its answer the defendant denied
the material allegations of the dec
laration and set up as an affirma-
tive defense a written agreement
entered into between the plaintiff
and defendant providing for the
construction of a spur track by
defendant for the service of plain
tiff's plant, in which plaintiff
agreed that defendant should not
thereafter be liable for any loss
or damage sustained by plaintiff
by reason of fire communicated
to plaintiffs plant by the engines
of the defendant or otherwise, and
whether caused by negligence or
otherwise.
In it's reply, plaintiff admitted
the execution of the agreement,
but denied its vladity on the
ground, among others, that the
fire which destroyed plaintiffs
plant was set out by defendants
servants in violation of law and
wilfully, and that the destruction
of plaintiffs plant constituted a
wilful injury to plaintiffs prop
erty.
The court struck out these de-
fenses on the ground that they
were departures from the cause of
action alleged in the declaration.
Plaintiff then moved for permis-
sion to amend it's declaration to
charge the unlawful, wilful and
intentional destruction of it's
property by the defendant. Leave
to file the amendment was denied,
and on motion of the defendant,
judgment was granted in its favor
upon the pleas.
Exceptions were taken by plain
tiff to these rulings of the court.
and in passing upon the excep-
tions the Circuit Court of Ap-
peals. 9th Circuit, said:
