NJ, Coolidge testified tl1t the bill next pre-

Mir. Coolidge until after this Last bill WAS pro-
septe1; thxt he objected ftom tls txat to the
payment Of this bia By reason Of excessive
charges; that he had repeatedly sought to
znake > settlement With Mr. Flynt, and hid
offered to paE her more than he believed to be
justly dus: that be had been unable to obtain
any reduc&on in the BILL or to have the mt
ter referred to three disinterested petsons:
that he had called for I'LL Of items in more
detail, which she had refused TO- give, and that
at one time. *hen she sent him word that she
w.s IN need o<money. he had proposed paying

10 recelse it that he never WEE informed thst
she charged dsa dollars per day tax woxk, and
uAu no kno"ietGa OF expectation Of increased
rates over previous bills He empha:i.ally
denled EAFlng at any time threatened to break
up the PLAINTIFF business OF to iniura bar in
apy way, and said that o,ce, when ho went to
her house, hoping to eject i settlement OF this
matter, she became very angry aud showed
him the door, e1clal1nine ~ he passed out,
'eYou miserable sinner, yon.''
Mr. Hyde, in closing the case on Friday
nsszning, congratulated the jury that they
wers most Of them married men, Otherwise tho
diaesosurea Of this case might, perhaps, have
an unfortunate effect upon their fu-
furs prospects: He assured them that ths
defa0aant had no desire to abata any
thing that WAS justly due Mrs F1ynt, but
that his client had been dragged into
court against his wishes, simply because he
would not submit to e2tortion. He had offer
ed TO make q liberal settlement, which the
ing among the dressmake1s had been .lto-
gether with the plaintiff; but when the prices
charged became known, there vss but ono CIV
from them all, and that. 'Estortionw He
called attention 10 the significant fact that
MrH. F lynt had not produced, from her own
craft, single person who dared say her prices
were fair or just and those witnesses whom
she had called as TO the time occupied in do
ing the work laa all shown such remarkable
ignorance upon the details Of making 4 dresa
that their general statements were entitled to
no consideration He alluded to the fact that
the original entries Of this work had al been
destroyed, nnd that no meana remained Of
verifying the charges on tho bill.
It Was then shown By comparison that the
average price for making and trimming all the
net exceed *24 each, although, a. testified, tho
work had been fully mp to the standard in this
bill that with the exception Of the bill na1t
preceding the list there WAS no single charge
Tor making and trimming = dress which e1-
ceeded 940. while IN the bill sued upon WAS
one for e223, another for S202, and third
for $1674
Nj. Hyde then dWelt upon the plaintiH q
pretensaons as m 0rtistg, and said that in the
Vatican there w1s fresco by Michael Angelo,
representing Eve before the fall, ! picture OF
marvellous power, worthy tho admiration
which many generations lave bestowed upon
it; and he regretted that the hand OF the great
master coa1d not be restored to life, that it
might c1othe anew that natchless form IN Me
morning role displayed to the jury in this case,
