Description
LUMMUS, Justice. This case comes here upon the appeal of Athans Spilios and George Gabriel, executors of the will of John C. Papps, from a decree of the probate court allowing an account which that court substituted for the account filed by the executors, and from other interlocutory decrees. The facts were found by an auditor whose findings of fact, by the terms of the reference, were to be final. G. L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 221, § 57. The main cause of contention is the charging of the executors with a gain of $4,097.50 over the inventory value of sixty shares of stock of Hub Laundry Company owned by the testator. The remainder of the stock was owned by James H. Connors, Charles A. Connors, and Athans Spilios, each owning sixty shares. Athans Spilios owned or controlled several companies supplying coats, napkins and other laundered articles, and they provided about forty per cent. of the business of Hub Laundry Company. Athans Spilios and Papps had a written agreement, to expire March 14, 1935, by which their stock was to be held and voted as a unit, in order to balance the stock holdings of the Connors brothers, and to prevent the domination of the corporation by the latter.
