10. Any person who has not been made a party to said pro-
ceedings, who shall have, or claim to have any interest in the
property sought to be condemned, may voluntarily intervene
in said case, at any time before the trial of the same, and upon
petition may, by order of said Court, be made a party defendant
to said proceedings upon such terms and conditions as the Court
shall direct, and thereupon may take part and defend in the

same way and to the same extent as if such person intervening
had been made an original party defendant in said petition.
