Washington Supreme Court
Appeal by plaintiff from a judgment of the superior court for King county, Yakey, J., entered March 23, 1909, decreeing the specific performance of a contract, after a trial on the merits before the court without a jury.
1Opinion of the CourtCrow, J.
This action commenced by W. W. Whipple, against D. H. Lee, the American Investment & Improvement Company, a corporation, and others, to enforce specific performance of a contract for the sale of real estate.

The plaintiff, however, has appealed, contending that the decree requires him to pay an excessive consideration…
