HOLSTEIN BOND
HOLDERS TAKE
OVERBUILDING
Ruling Os Court Nullifies
Second And Third
Mortgages
NEW YORK, Sept. 15—Property
once owned by Oscar Holstein, was
ordered turned back to bond hold
ers and may be placed in their
hands within a fortnight, it was in
dicated the past week.
The apartments, at present un
der the management of Norgen
stern mortgage company, it is al
leged through a ruling of Supreme
Court Judge Church, is being held
from the bond holders illegally. The
property is bringing in a rental of
several thousands dollars annually
and it is the hope of Attorney Hugo
Rogers who is handling the case to
have the orginial bondholders col
lect this rent.
Must Pay Interest
In ruling in favor of the bond
holders who stood a chance to lose
their investment Judge Church has
also ordered the Morgenstern insti
tution to pay an interest of $2,500.
The attorney charged that the mort
gage company has been collecting
the rents from the building for
several years, an amount almost
sufficient to pay off the mortgages
but rtill claims default of the prin
cipal and interest on the mortgage.
The hope of the bondholders now
is to throw the property in the
hands of a receiver and have the
rents collected and turned over to a
trust in their favor. They are await
ing the ruling of Judge Church on
this latter plan.
