New Trial Ordered For
Man Denied Property
NKWW HAVEN, May 1—A
Connecticut lower court was
overruled this week in its re¬
fusal to grant William Henry
Harris, a Negro, the right to
acquire ownership of a lot in
(he suburb of West Haven.
Mr. Harris brought suit
against Samuel W. Clinton, a
New Haven real etate man,
who had sold the lot in quest¬
ion to one Peter Horbrick, who
in turn transferred the contract
rights to Mr. Harris. When Mr.
Clinton learned that the new
owner was a Negro, he refused
to transfer the deed. He said
that he did not wish to sell lots
in West Haven to Negroes, and
he attempted to have the con¬
tract changed to incorporate
an oral agreement that it could
not be transferred without his
prior consent and approval.
The Court of Common Pleas
ruled ruiea against agan.s t Mr. »»■ Harris, who
