and see big hawk that there. She went
out, and in moment followed TO see the hawk
too. 1 did not see the hawk, bat did see Dright
srith has arm ronnd Eunice's raist. / saw him
kiss her and tell her lie didn't want her to mop

This evidence was considered so conclusive
that the jury gave the plaintiff twenty-five hun
dred dollars damages. He however, is so un-
reasonable that he has appealed to the Supreme
Court, on the ground that he knows a hawk
