There recently appeared in the HERALD an account
OF The commencement OF a suit in the Marine Court
by William Webber, stevedore, TO recover damages
from James Stewart, Patrick Reed and another for
injuries received through the perpettion OF alleged
cruel joke on their part webber stated in his com
plant that he was induced to enter q liquor store OF
Stewart by tho other parties, and there Induced
by all three to try his pulling strength on machine
to which was attached electric battery that whlo
innoccntIy engaged Ia the experiment the parties
turned on powerful current, which gathered HIM up
In heap and kept him hanging by cord Of lightning
for the space OF three minutes. An order OF civil
issued against all three defendants and they
were compelled 10 give bail IN tho sum OF $500 EACH
Now appears tho other side OF the story IN the
answer OF the defendants, served by MIR john
A. OBrien. In this II Is alleged that tho
'job was originally ''put up'' by Webber himself for
the purpose OF getting the laugh Reed. and that Ia
taking hold OF the machine to illustrate to tho latter
how ho was to perform some OF the party turned tho
tables on him by suddenly turning on current for his
benefit. This no doubt astonished Webber in proper

SO much so that they uninentionally gave him moro
