Bayard Taylor Judgment Against C. I. & S. to Be Paid.

Attorney Jesse E. Wilson, of Hammond, was here today closing up the case of Bayard Taylor vs. the C. I. & S. railroad. The other interested attorneys were present. Taylor was a railroad promoter and some years ago formed the Chicago, Terre Haute & Southern Railway Co. The silent members of the company were supposed to be W. T. McCray and C. C. Kent, of Kentland. Later the holdings of that railroad were disposed of to the Indiana Harbor railroad, which later became the Chicago, Indiana & Southern, and which is now a part of the New York Central system. Taylor brought suit against the company for $30,000, through his attorney, Otto Gresham, now of Indianapolis. Judgment was secured -in the sum of SIO,OOO and the case went to the supreme court, where the judgment was affirmed. The judgment was in favor of the railroad company, however, and not in favor of Taylor, and there are said to have been some debts against the railroad company. In making the settlement, which the New York Central is now doing, the attorneys desire to know that the money is paid to the right person and the gathering of the attorneys here was to take care of that matter.
