AGENT COLLECTS
HIS FEE OF $3.50
Judge Wall Hands Down
Decision on Realty Trans
action Here

A real estate agent who secures
customer for property owner in
accordance with an angreement is
entitled to a commission even
though the owner changes his mind
and refuses to complete the sale
transaction, 1t was ruled by Com
mon Pleas Court Judge Thomas j
Wall today.
In a memorandum of decision in
the civil action brought by Hor-
midas A. Voghel, local real estate
broker, against Patricia A. Budelis
Of Waterbury, Judge Wall awarded
the plaintiff a $3.50 commission with
interest, making total damages OF
$153.75.
The agent claimed the defendant
entered into an agreement to pay
him five per cent commission If he
sold her property at 80 Hungerford
avenue for $4,000 and fiat commits
sion of $3.50 If he secured $4,000.
He obtained prospective customer
last Aug. 2 and the following day
secured a deposit for purchase Of
the premises at $4,000, he claimed,
but meanwhile another agent and
customer called and the owner then
refused to sell the property to the
first purchaser.
The jurist in his memorandum
states that the second agent really
high-pressured the property owner
and misled her into believing that
there was no obligation on her part
because she had signed nothing. He
said the defendant was honest, but
that the broker really had earned
his commission because he secured
customer. and also a purchase
price which was acceptable to her
by terms Of the original agreement.

Chicago, Jan. 8-(UP) - Police
estimated today that 1000 angry
women crowded funeral parlor and
the sidewalks outside for a glimpse
Of Mrs Mildred Merkel, %. at fu-
neral services for the two-year- old
daughter she confessed beating to
death with poker.
Many Of the women came to the
funeral chapel with children in their
arms and held them up so they
could see the body Of Claire Merkel.
AS Mrs. Merkel made her way down
the crowded aisle to the casket,
women muttered:
she killed her own baby"
she should be In jail"
IT hope she gets the chair"
Women stood In the aisle and at
the rear Of the room. Police tried to
make them leave, but they refused
to go.
Mrs. Merkel, her face aShen, and
drawn, sat with her husband, a war
worker, but they did not look at
each other.
The Rev. Edward Eels, addressing
