Phelps Dodge suit over Boston estate building lease
The case of Marion Hovey and others executors of George Hovey of Boston against Phelps Dodge & Co. for 18000 alleges deceit in selling a Chicago building for 140000 in 1875. It claims the firm showed a 15000 annual rent while the true lease and receipts reduced the yield, affecting the property's sale value. Judge Van Vorst heard testimonies from Mandel Bros. and real estate agents as proceedings adjourned after defense opening.
