Close of the PrOtracted
'. Litigation.
Exhaustive and Conclusive Charge Of
Judge Shipman.
VERDICT FOR THE DEFENDANT.

Court before JuuBe cnpmbn anu Tic 6peClai jury
The suit has resulted in . verdict for Mr. Nelson
Chase, the defendant. This has been one OF the
most remarkable cases ever tried IN the United
States Courts Of this District and the longest
ever known In the State OF New York. On the
former trial Of this action the jury disagreed, and
the present one was commenced so long ago as the
eth Of December last before what is called o
'struck" or special jury, consisting Of men Of the
highest responsibility and character in this COM
munity. II will thus be seen that the trial has
occupied almost three months. The conclusion
arrived at will. no doubt put an end to all future
litigation with respect to this property.
When the verdict was announced quite an inter-
esting scene occurred. Mrs. Paul r. G. Perry,
daughter ofMr Chase, Miss Perry, and Mrs. Tranckel
embraced Mr.. Charles O'Conor, the distinguished
advocate for the defendant, and warmly compli-
nented him on the victory he had achieved.
Below will be found in full Judge Shipnan's
charge, with the verdict Of the jury
