Before Judge Pratt.
The case Of City Judge McCue vs. Demas Barnes
which is suit for 100000 damages for alleged
libel was called for trial yesterday in the Supreme
Court, Circuit Judge Pratt presiding. The defence
moved to have the case go on for the term. but
plaintiff asked to have 1t set down for some Gay
next week. 1t appeared that there would be no
jury next week unless another panel was sum-
moned. Furthermore, Judge Pratt said that he
had been subpGnaed as q witness by the defence,
and he did not know whether there would be any
judge to preside next week.
The announcement that Judge Pratt had been
subp9naed completely surprised the plaintiff and
his counsel The latter thanked the counsel for
the defence for giving him new method for pro-
curing postponement OF case. All defendant
had to do IN future in order to get his case post
poued would be to subpoena the presiding Judge al
q witness.
Alter some discussion the Court decided to post
pone the case until the first Tuesday OF June, the
defendant stipulating as condition OF such post
ponement that the testimony OF Judge Pratt be
taken de oene esse on notice of two days to plain
ti17s attorney and to waive all legal objections to
Judge Pratt's presiding on the trial on account OF
his being witness In the case.

A LIFE INSURANCE CASE.

Jury.
The suit brought by Mrs. Oliver A. Dtleber
against the Home Life Insurance Company for
$4,000, insured her husbands Life, which. has
been on trial for several days in the Supreme
Court before Judge Van Worst, and the facts Of
which have already been published in the HERALD.
came yesterday to what was deemed by some
doubtless as a rather singular and abrupt ter
ninaiion. The defence was thar the insured
truthluly answered certain questions and con-
eealed facts as to the state OF his health.
Among the witnesses for the defence was John
II. Dnleher, brother of the deceased. During
his crosse examination by MIR. John K. Develin, the
nredncea rn Nun 70 ws

and unless she signed order Tor that sum on the
Nome Company, he would tell what he knew about

t0ns and answers.
z. Did yon know his health was bad when the
policy was taken out A. Yes
Y Then 1t was your intention 10 swindle the
company A. had nothing 10 do with Tue policy
being taken ont.

O. And that be had a cough before tnat2 A. Yes.
q And that was the fact you were gong TO COM
nunicase 70 the company to prevent Mrs. Dilleber
being paid A. Yes.
The testimony all being in Mr.. Copwel, the de-
fury TO find a verdict for the defendant on the
ground that the statements in the application OF
the insured mans warrantees and his answers TO
the questions were false as shown by the uncon-
tradicted testimony.
Mr.. Develin opposed the motion, taking the
ground that the statements were not warrantees,
and insisting that to the falsity truth OF the
. statements there was evidence on both sides, and
that 1t would be submitted TO the jury to deter
mine on the evidence whether the same was false
true.
Judge Van Worst thought the matter worthy Of
special consideration, and, having given 1t such
consideration, gave his decision III quite lengthy
written opinion. He found that the deceased
deceived the insurance company as TO the cond-
tion OF hts health when applying Tor an insurance
and In his subsequent examination. and therefore
held that the policy void. This being his con-
clusfOn he directed the Clerk to enter verdict Tor
the defendant.
