SUIT OPENS TODAY
Trustees Bring Action Against
Dr. A. A. Morrison.
LAND DEAL IS INVOLVED
Board Declares That $10,000
Property Was Bought lor $25,
000 and Minister Profited.
Trial of the sensational suit of the
board of school trustees of the
Kpiscopal diocese of Oregon against
Dr. A. A. Morrison, rector of the
Trinity Episcopal church, is sched
uled to open In the circuit court this
morning after pending in local courts
for about two years without coming
to issue.
The charge is made by the plain
tiff, represented by C. E. Cochran,
that tr. Morrison, a former member
of the school trustees board, gained
title to 132 acres of land in Yamhill
county through the sale of another
100 acres, alleged to be worth not
more than $10,000, to the board for
$L'5.00O. In reply, the minister con
tends that the entire board was ac
quainted with all details of the
transactions, concurred In his actions
and that all was in good faith. He
Is represented by the law firm ol
JIalarkey, Seabrook & Dibble.
Accounting Is Wanted.
Most of the incidents over which
the litigation is brought occurred i
1918. At that time the board name
to handle the Bishop Scott academy
fund sought to purchase soma land
on which a school might be erected.
The purpose of the suit is to demand
an accounting tw Ir. Morrison for
the sum of $25,000, which it 1 al
leired that he and the Walnut Urov
company, of which he owned half the
stock, received for 100 acres near
North Yamhill.
It is charged1 that Dr. Morrison
sought to buy a 1015-acre tract for
$40. 000, of which $20,000 was to De
paid in cash and $20,000 secured by
a mortgage on the property, mere
was an agreement between ur. iuor
i-ison and Bland Herring, owner
the property, it is asserted, by which
on payment of $25,000 by Dr. Morrison
a clear title might be obtained to
232 acres of the tract.
Contract Failures Charged.
The school trustees charge that Dr.
Morrison, through the Walnut Grove
company, sold he board 100 acres of
the land for $23,000, of which 2i,uo
was paid in cash and $4000 a year
later, and that, through the payment
of this money to Herring, title was
obtained by the company to Zit acres,
of which only 100 acres were turned
over to the trustees.
Ramifications of the complaint in
elude the assertion that the Walnut
Grove company failed to carry out
an agreement to plant 60 acres oi
the tract sold in walnuts, and that
Dr. Morrison, who later made it a
personal covenant, also neglected to
carry out the terms agreea on.
The basis of the complaint by the
trustees is that Dr. Morrison, as a
trustee, did not act in good faith
and profited personally through the
transactions. He was a memoer oi
the board until 1915.
