Court of Appeals of the State of New York.

Decided April 29, 1960.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Bernard Meyerson and Thomas V. Kingham for appellants-respondents.

Benjamin Adler, Gustave G. Rosenberg and George W. Loomer for respondent-appellant.

John M. Cunneen for respondents.

Concur: Chief Judge DESMOND and Judges DYE, FULD, FROESSEL, VAN VOORHIS, BURKE and FOSTER.
