Hearing on the Bill in Equity Filed
Anthony Fenley.
Property In Question Soid Under a Mort
gage---Held For Advisement'
There was a hearing. before Chief
Justice Matteson and Justices Stiness
and Douglas on the bill in equity to
redeem certain property sold under a
mortgage sale in the village of Gazzy
in Barrillville. Anthony Fenley waus
the complainent and Willlam H. Cas
sidy the defendant.
Fenley purchased somewhere in the
carly elghties a plece of property, with
i improvement thereon, from the Smith
field Bavings bank for $3lOO, and pay
| ing $3OO in caxh and giving &« morigage
for $2BOO. In 1884 Fenley sold a one
half interest In the property to (‘as
gidy, and the two worked the property
until 1889 and reduced the mortgage 1o
$2OOO, Then the bank transrerred the
mortgage to Fred K. Bailey soon after
Cassidy sold his interest in the prop
erty to Fenley, and Cassidy purchased
the Bailey mortgage. This mortgage
Cassidy transgferred to Fenley on the
latter giving him a mortgage for $2650,
Interest on the mortgage was paid to
January 1, 1801, and notwithstanding
there was no Interest due the follow -
ing July, interest not being payable in
advance, the property was sold in May,
iNDL,
There was no time mentioned in the
mortguge note as to when it should he
come due, and there was but one de- |
mand for pavinent of the note, and
that was in January, 1880, The con
plainants clalin the property was '
wrongtully scld, as the acceptance of
Intercet after the demand waived the
demand for payment,
Mr. Cassidy bought the property in
at the mortgage sale and then insured
the property. It had been previously
insured, and the complainants want
an accounting on the insurance policy, '
as a fire took place soon after the sale.
The defendant elaims that the plain- |
tiff, who is o rejative of his, never paid
@ cent of the purchase money: that the
8300 paid to the Smithfleld bank was /
borrowed of him: that the property
sought to be redeemed ig not owing to
the depreciation, or rather utter ruin
of business in Gazzy, worth only one
half of what the complainant claims,
and that the demand for payment was
one sufficient to justify the sale. Other
charges made by the defendant are
that the complainant during the last
few years that he occupled the prem-

it was an unconditional one,
Mr, Sharp says that when the horse
was attached he owed about $4B and
that the agreement was that the use of
the horse after the attachment was to
pay for ite board until the $4B was paid.
The plaintiff says he tendered the de
fendant $53 and then the defendant
claimed over §2OO was due for board.
Some other claims were made by the

CENSURE FOR GENERAL EAGAN.
(Continued from PPage One,)
the par't of the officials to express for
publication any opinion of the merits
of the case, This was true from Secre
tary Alger down to the lowest com
misgioned officers. Bur privately it was
evident that nearly all regretted the
incident and deplored it as caleculated
to injure the whole army, It was point
ed out that the immediate effect wonld
be to assentuate the divigsion of the
army into two camps, and thus to in
jure the chances of the enactment of
legislation favorable to the military es
tablishment,
The sober second judgment of the
coolest minds on both sides, meaning
by that the friends of Gen, Eagan and
the friends of Gen. Miles, inclined to
the opinion that no action will follow
vesterday's eruption. It has already
been intimated at army headquarters,
digclaimer of his responsibility to the
major general commanding the army,
as binding, that this places the respon
sibility for anything he says or does on
the department. The department itself,
however, is stopped from action in this
case, no matter what the inclination of
the officials might be, by the fact that
the president has given hig solemn
promige to protect the witnesses who
might appear before the war investi
gating commissgion from the conse
quences of any testimony they might
give there, He was compelled to give
this pledge at the beginning of the in
vestigation by the open intimations in
certain quarters that army officers
would not dare to testify to all of the
things they knew that wonld reflect
upon the administration of the war
department,
When Gen. Miles made his first state
ment before the commisgion in which
he spoke of embalmed beef asg being
furnished the soldiers, Gen, Eagan re-
Csented this, but found upon sounding
i the officialg of the department, that he
could not prefer charges against Gen,
' Miles of slandering him as he desired
to do, because the president's promise
protected the commanding general as
well as all other witnesses, Thisg led to
- Gen, Eagan's attempt, by a letter ad
’ dresged to Gen, Mileg to learn if he had
- said the things published in the news.
papers as part of his testimony., The
purpose was to sccure a repetition if
possible, outside of the commissions
chambers, of the offensive statements
in which case the foundation Gen,
Eagan thought might have been laid
for formal charges. This attempt fail
ed, however, and Uen. Eagan., being
thrown back upon the testimony given
by Gen, Miles before the commission,
and finding him beyond reach accord
ing to the rules military law, avalled
himself of the same meane, according
to his friends, of redressing his grieve
ances. According to thig view, there
fore, the matter has narrowed down to
a personal issue between the two offi
coers for, from the reasons already
stated, the army officials advancing
thiz now state that neher the presi
dent, the commander<ia-chief of the

Gen. BEagan was at work in his office
promptly as usual. He refused to say
anything beyond what he had given to
the war commiggion yvesterday, saying
that his statement then was a full dec
laration of his feelings and hig beliefs,
General Mileg yhen asked what offl

before the war commission vesterday.,
Gen. Miles said: T did not want to ap
pear ovefore the war commission in the
st p'oce When they wiote me gug
gesting that 1 voluntarily appear be
fore, 1 replied that 1 believed it
to be for the Dbest interest of
the service for me not to vol
unteer any testimony. When I was
ordered before the commission, and
they asked me concerning certain facts
that 1 then had in my possession, 1
was obliged as a matter of honesty to
answer them and produced official com
plaints to me as to my best reply, Kven
then 1 did not teld them all the facts
which T had discovered by my own
investigation, This inquiry was carried
on quietly through the proper branches
of the war department, and was be
gun, as a matter of duty, by the com
manding general after the receipt of an
immense number of complaints. That
investigation is still being prosecuted,
and I still think, as I said before, that
it would have been much better had
the oflicers of the war department who
have in charge 2‘9 care and proper
feeding of the soldiers been allowed to
attend to these m’ttem quletly in their
own way."”
Gen. Egan when seen said he had
nothing (o say. He regretted, he said,
the newspaper notoriety which it had
already involved. The controversy was
not of his seeking, and he should de
cline to say anything further regard
ing it.
