Description
Rehearing denied March 24, 1953. This is an appeal from a decree entered by the circuit court of McDonough County in a suit wherein appellee was plaintiff
and appellants were defendants. William A. Compton, Jr., is plaintiff's son. The decree found that the two certain tracts
of real estate described in plaintiff's complaint belonged to him and that the defendants hold title thereto as constructive
trustees for his use and benefit. It directs the defendants to convey this real estate to the plaintiff forthwith and to let
him into possession thereof. The decree further finds that the Western Union Telegraph Company bonds of the face value of
$6000, referred to in defendants' counterclaim, are the property of the plaintiff; that the order of sequestration theretofore
made by the court, under which said bonds were taken possession of by the sheriff of said county, should be forthwith dissolved;
that an account should be taken between the parties to the suit, and that defendants' counterclaim should be dismissed for
want of equity. The decree directs the defendants to execute, acknowledge and deliver to plaintiff a good and sufficient deed,
conveying to him the real estate described in the complaint within 30 days from the date of the decree, and in default thereof
that the master in chancery of the court, as commissioner, execute and deliver such deed, and that the cause be referred to
the master to state an account between the parties and to report his findings and conclusions.
