Several years ago suit was instituted in

Gaines against Duncan n Hennen. to evict
him trC III certain lots in the First District.
The case was decided against Hennen. He
then sued in this court the CarrOllton Rail-
road Company as the party from whom he
purchased the property from which Mrs.
Gaines evicted him. Mr.. Hennen had paid
for said property in stock Of the railroad
company, which ruled at that time very
low. When he was evicted it had highly
appreciated. He was, therefore, interested
in losing his case in the United States court,
as he could, in that event. call the Carroll
ton Railroad Company in warranty and
collect from them the amount OF stock,
which was at very high rate.
The company claimed that due diligence
and care had not been taken in defending
the suit instituted by Mrs. Gaines.
The jury, after hearing the argument of
counsel, returned a verdict in favor of the
Carrollton railroad.
