Much Work Already Done. Several Jury
Cases Disposed Of.
When our report cloeed last week the
caso of George L. Bceman vb. Clinton V.
Tisdalo, appellant, was on trial. In this
case Beoman, who belongs in Granville,
Bued to recover $150 for a fatal injury to
his four-year-old mare in the stable of
the defendant, an inn-keeper at East
Middlebury, on tho night of August 29th
Iaat. There was considerable conllicting
testimouy both as to the vnlue of the
horeo and as to the defendant's liability.
The evldenco was completed Thursday
eveningand the nrguments were made
Friday forenoon by James B. Donaway
for the plaintiff and by Ira II. LaFleur
for tho defendant; and Judge Taylor
gave the case to the jury at 11 o'clock in
a half hour's charge. Just before the
noon recess the jury returned Into court
with a verdict that the defendant was
guilty of negligenco and gave the plain-
tiff $100 damages and his costs. The
case will not be appealed.
There was not much doing Friday
nfternoon, but eonie motions for continu
ance were briefly argued and the an-
nouncement was made Ihat the case of
George Dragon vs. Arthur Fitts had been
settled and was discontinued. Tliis case
grew out of a fracas between the parties
near East Middlebury last winter,
Dragon being a well known etone mason
of that village and Defendant Fitts was a
mail-stage driver from and to Middle
bury and Uipton, and passing thrcugh
East Middlebury. The emnete started
on tho mail stage but was wound up on
the roadside, and after it had como to a
close Mr. Dragon discovered that he had
lost an appreciable segment of one of his '
ears. For this loss he asked 81000 dam
ages, but in the settlement it is under-
stood that he received only 5150, but
there are stories of a larger sum up to
350, but neither the parties interested
nor their counsel will disclose the exact
basisof compromise, probably foi the rea
son that there may be another case grovv-
ing out of the same affair later on.
Davis and Russell of Middlebury were
the attorneys for Plaintiff Dragon and
Ira H. LaFleur represented the interests
of Defendant Fitts.
In the case of Fred and Matel Curran
vs. frank Nelson, appellant, a contin
uance was granted on terms against the
defendant that he pay 10 and take no
costs for this term if he ultimately pre
vails in the suit.
The work ready to be put on was got
through with at 2:35 o'clock Friday
afternoon and at that hour a recess was
taken until 2 p. m. on Monday.
Criminal cases were put on the boards
the flrst thing after the re-convening' of
the court Monday afternoon. The cases
brought up for consideration were the
following:
State vs. Earl Peck of Cornwall, an
information charging the respondeut
with grand larceny in stealing $100 from
the Galvin brothers of Cornwall In that
town in March last. Peck pleaded not
guilty. His bail was fixed at $000,
which was promptly forthcoming, and
James B. Donaway was assigned to
defend him.
State vs. Joseph Pasha of Ferrisburg!!.
This is an information fllled by the
State's attorney at tho pre6ent term of
court charging the responuent with
adultery with one Kate Ploof at Ferris
burgh in February last. Pasha pleaded
not guilty and was sent back to the
county jail, where he had been for the
past two months, for want of bail,
There is an information against Kate
Ploof charging her with participation in
the same crime, and 6he was brought to
town and placed in jail Monday night by
Deputy Sherifl Stephen E. Noonan of
Ferrisburgh. She is an unmarried
woman, and her case was scheduled to
como up later.
State vs. Curl French of Bristol came
next. This respondent is charged on
State's Attorney Ru6seH's information
with grand larceny committee by steal
ing $100 worth of wearing apparel from
the store of Wilbur C. Bingham in Bris
tol in March last A companion infor
mation was filed against William Perry,
also of Bristol, charging him with prac-
tically the same larceny. Each respond
dent pleaded not guilty and both were
remanded to jail for the present. This
cloeed the criminal work for the day.
In the case entitled : In re the Will o
Catherino Brydia, Hattie J. Torey et al.
contesting appellants, the contcst was
withdrawn and the will BUBtained after a
bripf hearing on the question of proof of
execution, and the case was certifled
back to the probate court. F. W. Tut
tle of Vergennes was the attorney for the
proponents of the will and Frank L.
Fish of the same city represented the
contestants.
At three o'clock the second jury trial
was got under way. It was C. L. Le
Boef vs. L. F. Benton, both parties be
longing in Vergennes, in which LeBoeuf
claimed $192 for ice furnished and work
done for the defendant.
In this case the plaintiff sued to recover
$192 from the defendant for supplies fur
nished and team work during haylng last
season. lioth parties are well-known
residentsof Vergennes and LeBoeuf is
an extensive contractor and builder.
Defendant Benton claimed that he never
contracted with LeBoeuf to do his hay-
mir but that his trade was made with
John LeBoufe, the plaintill's son, who
should be the rightful plaintiff if there
was any cause ol action. It was also
claimed that much of the hay was
ruined from the time and way in which
it was got in, and on this ground an offset
was put in for more than double the
amount of1 the plaintifT's claim. 6n the
other side it was contended that John
LeBoeuf acted simply as the agent of his
father, that therefore Charles LeBoeuf
was theproper plaintiff and that the hay
ing was done strictly according to agree-
ment.
The testimony was all got in by 4 :30
o'clock Tuesday afternoon and the re
mainder of the session was taken up with
a plea for the plaintiff by F. L. S. Har
man of Vergennes. It was Mr. Har
man's first argument in county court and
was a very creditable eftort. Wed
nesday forenoon was taken up with pleas
for the defense by Charles I. Sutton and
Judge Bliss of Middlebury and for the
plaintiff by Frank L. Fish of Vergennes.
Judge Taylor gave the case to the jury
in an able charge of forty minutes dura
tion and at 11:40 o'clock they retired to
consider their verdict. They were in
their seats when court opened in the
afternoon and returned a verdict for the
plaintiff to recover $171.95 damages and
his costs. The cade will be appealed to
the Supreme court, it is understood.
Kate Ploof, the alleged party of the
other part in the Ferrisburgh adultery
case, hereinbefore mentioned, was next
arraigned in court and entered a very
strenuous plea of not guilty to the infor
mation against her. The woman had no
counsel and was taken back to jail, her
bail having been surrendered. The case
will come up later for final disposi
tion. The third jury trial was started at 3
o'clock Wednesday afternoon, the case
being Jacob Canton vs. F. Landon &
Son, all Bristol parties. The Landons
keep a sales stable and Canton alleges
that in January last he purchased a horse
from them which they warranted to be
"all right" but which subsequently
turned outtobeblind. Consequently Can
ton asks for damages of $100 or so. The
case did not make much progr'ess Wednes
day as only the plaintiff's testimony was
taken. There being no other witnesses
on hand, a recess was taken at 4 o'clock
for the day.
The case came on again at the ring of
the bell at 9 o'clock Thursday morning
and took up the greater part of the fore
noon, with various intervals occasioned
by the absence of witnesses for the
plaintiff, Finally at a little before 11
o'clock a motion was made by Lawyer
JJavU of Middlebury that the plaintiff be
non-suited. Mr. Davis and L. C. Russell
being the attorneys for the defence.
The motion was strongly fought by Judge
Bliss and the argument was lively on
both sides. After taking ample time to
consider the matter the court agreed
among themselves and granted the non
60lt. Whether or not the plaintiff will
later on institute a new suit, as he has a
legal right to do, is a matter of doubt.
A recess was taken until 2 o'clock p. m.,
immediately after the disposition of this
dUse, with the prospect of getting another
civil jury trial under way in the after
noon. .
