Decision in Parsons Case Will Bring
,t , ...... on Other Suit. .-.-. . ,
Late Saturday afternoon the jury in
the case of the Barlow Bros company
against Mrs Eliza .T. Parsons for .$8,000
deposits alleged to have, been placed
in the defendant's bank when it was
closed by order of the superior court on
November 3, 1898, gave w-hat is known
among lawyers as a divided verdict.
The case was brought on two counts,
first, that Mrs Parsons was a partner
of her husband in the banking affairs
of CI. S. Parsons & Co., and second,
that she conducted the bank after the
death of her husband, which occurred
on October 11. 18!)8. on her own re
sponsibility. The jury's verdict said
that Mrs Parsons was not a partner of
her husband in his business affairs,
but that she conducted 1 he bank on her
own responsibility after her husband's
death and until the bank went into the
hands of receivers. The verdict was
for $5,000 odd. On this ground,
therefore, Mrs Parsons is not held re
sponsible on the most important issue
involved in the case, that is, she was
not in partnership with her husband:
but she is responsible for all the money
that was deposited in the bank after
her 'husband's death.
Notice of appeal to the supreme
court has been given by the counsel
engaged on both sides of the case, the
defendant on the second count and the
plaintiff on the first count, but it is pos
sible that this notice may be with
drawn and suit instituted afresh
against Mrs Parsons on different
grounds. There is also some talk of
individual depositors bringing suit
against Mrs Parsons, but this is hard
ly likely to occur as the case j"st de
cided was a test case and one of the
counsel for the Barlow Bros company
being confident that another suit
brought upon entirely different grounds
from the last one will result in making
her responsible for the affairs of the
bank from July 2. I Sift!, the day upon
which she gave her husband permis
sion to use her name hi the transac
tion of his affairs.
The law is very singular upon the
business relations between husband
and wife in this state. A wife may
l.e part owner of a btisiness transact
ed by her husband and yet not be his
business partner, and upon this point
it is held the supreme court has neve
deckled in this state. Law in plenty
was quoted in the case just decided,
and eleven states decided in favor of
the contention of the plaintiff in the
Barlow case and ten against it. Mi
O'Neill held that the law in this state
upon this point is more advanced than
it is in anv other state. The rulings
of the court during the first day of the
t. inl sr. discouraged the counsel for 1he
plaintiff that one of them said in the
evening that: they might as well drop
the case at that point and go to me
onnwmo court with it. They came
near being non-suited. And upon the
first count the rulings were precise
the same all through the case. I he
court did not view the situation
through the eyes of counsel for the
plaintiff.
To-dav Messrs tr .eni aim riu
counsel for the Barlow Bros company,
will hold a consultation and decide up
on what grounds they will institute the
proposed suit.
The dofense will appear before the
superior court on December 1" in
Bridgeport to argue a motion for the
arrest of judgment on tli? grounds that
the verdict on the second count was
ag.iinst the evidence. This is merely
a technical proceeding. Hie first step
towards bringing the matter before the
supreme court, which convenes in Feb
ruary. The decision of that court will
not be given until probably next sum
mer. It is understood that half a
dozen or more cases of individual de
positors are in course of preparation,
some by Judge Root and some by Ter
ry & Bionson.

Says i Peter -.0Cen'nyof Waterbury is
' i Doing Duty in- the Philippines.'
Several days ago a rumor reached
Waterbury that Edward l Kenny had
been killed in the Philippines." ' In
answer to a letter from . . the young
man's mother the following letter was
received by her a few days ago;
, War Department,

Street, Waterbury, Conn:
Madam: In reply to your letter of

tary of war, requesting information
concerning your sou, Edward P. Ken
ny, I beg to inform you that the nams
Edward V. Kenny Is not borne on the
recent roll. of Company L. Twentv
Sfcond V. S. infantry' oil file in this
office; but the latest muster roll of that
company on file in this office, which is
dated August 31, 1U00. reports Peter
Kenny, a private, present for duty with
the company on that date.
Neither of the above names having
been found among those reported by
cable to this ollice cs having been
wounded or killed, or as having died
from other causes in the Philippine
Islands, to include the 23th lust, it is
inferred that Peter Kenny is for duty
with the company. It Is proper to adll
that Peter Kenny, at enlistment, gave
Waterbury, Conn, as the place of his
birth.

giving night. A wedding took place at
Slattery's that evening, the complain
ant's daughter being the bride. Quite
a number of people were invited to the
wedding and a vacant tenement next
door was secured iu which to entertain
the guests. There was a dance and
everybody was having a good time
when the accused forced their way into
the house for tile refreshments which
were served. Mr Slattery, who is
quite an old man. objected to the
young men's presence and undertook
to remove them. The intruders re
fused to leave and a tussle followed.
At tile door, said the old man iu his

ally removed, and soon after the door

same amount.
Arthur Donahue got out of jail last
Saturday. He was half drunk when
he arrived at his home on River street.
He immediately began abusing his
wife. This he repeated yesterday.
Donahue claimed persecution on the
part of his wife, and the fact that
he was iu bed when he was arrested
on her complaint spoke for him. As
he promised to do better sentence was
suspended for one week.
The continued case against Donato
Mancini for assaulting Dominico'Ad
di.'Uo came next. This assault took
place on Canal street one night last
WKk. during a game of cards. The

The fifth annual dinner and recep
tion of the Hardware Hall association
was hehi in the rear of Plumber Mi
chael Clancy's store on Bank street
yesterday afternoon and night. The
dinner was one cf the most elaborate
and sumptuous spreads that one could
desire. Everything in the line of eat
ables and drinkables was present in
abundance, such as turkey, chicken,
roast pigs and coon. John Clohessey
acted as toastmaster and a capable one
he was. while John D. Bolan as carver
didn't do a thing to the turkey. When
the good things had been disposed of
the guests turned to merriment, and a
jolly good thee they did have. It
was a late hour last night when the
jovial party came to an en and the
members departed, carrying with them
as souvenirs long iron nails, which
were supposed to be toothpicks. Many
notables of the town were in attend
ance and all vowed that it was the
most successful dinner ever given by
the club.
On Saturday night at the rooms of
the Brooklyn Athletic club, a practice
game of .basket ball was played be-
tween teams from the Brooklyn Ath
letic club and the St Thomas Cadets,
the former winning by a score of 9-4.
The two teams were rather evenly
matched and the game was close and
exciting at all times. Neither side
caged any goals in the first half, but
Rogers of the Brooklyn Athletic club,
threw three goals on fouls called on
the Cadets. The first half ended 3-0
in favor of the Brooklyn Athletic club.
In the second half both sides caged
two goals from the field but the Brook
lyn Athletic club also scored two on
fouls, thus making the score stand 9-4
in their favor. The teams were about
evenly matched but the Cadets showed
a little ignorance of the game as mani
fested by their being penalized for
fouls thirteen times. Ray of the
Cadets was an efficient referee and
Luddy of the Brooklyn Athletic club
knew his duty as umpire. The line
up of the teams was as follows: St

The altar and sanctuary were hand
somely decorated with potted plants

were present from out: of town: Fath
