In the of the West Point Manufacturing Com.
pany against Henry Baker, tried in the Court of Com
non Pleas. before Judge Joseph +. Daily and jury.
The plaintiff, corporation Of the State Of Nebraska
sued to recover the value Of seven coupon bonds
payable to bearer. which it alleged had been alb
stracted from its possession by John II. Hall and
by him transferred to the defendant The defendant
admitted having received the bonds from Hall, but
claimed that he had purchased them in good faith
and without any notice that Hall was not the
owner On the trial it appeared that in November.
1875, Hall indebted to the defendant in the
sum of $4,000 on three notes for $1,000, 500
and $500 respectively to secure payment of which
the defendant held certsin stocks and mortgage on
The bonds to the defendant upon the agreement that
they should be taken in payment of HILLS notes. At
the time OF the transfer the defendant that he
had delivered up the MISUNDERSTANDING note TO Hall
and given him an order for the other notes and the
securities which in the hands Of his attorney in
Nebraska; but it appeared by the deposition Of the
attorney that they had been delivered up. It
also appeared that before the transfer was
made the defendant knew that the plaintiff was
the OF the whole issue of the bonds
which it was attempting to negotiate in this city and
that Hall was negotiating for their sale with the de-
PENDANT and others the agent Of the plaintiff Tho
defendant while admitting this swore that when Hall
no owned them personally, which he believed.
Judge DAILY submitted to the jury the questions
whether the defendant took the bonds in good faith
and paid full value for them, and the jury having
found negatively both OF these points rendered a
verdict for the plaintiff for S2.325. Nathan Cutler

LOVES FALSEHOODS.

HANS TREsKow FAILS TO FULFIL PROMISE TO
MARRY AND IS CONDEMNED TO PAY FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS DAMAGES, BESIDES BEING
HELD FOR PERJURY.
In November. 1875 Hans Trcskow then under
twenty-one years Of age arrived in this city from
Berlin and made the acquaintance OF Mary L. LEIGH
weis. and promised to marry her and seduced her
the faith of such promise The wedding day was
fixed for the 10th Of March, 1876. but the groom
failed to appear. and has since married. another
woman. Mary then brought suit against him to
recover 5000 damages for breach Of promise,
which came to trial in Supreme Court. Circuit,
yesterday, before Judge Donohue and q jury.
Hans had put in denying the
promise of marriage alleged in the complaint, and
his counsel also took the ground that IL any promise
of marriage had been made it made while the de-
PENDANT minor, and, therefore, not valid The
girl and her mother produced evidence to the effect
that the defendant had sought out the girl had told
them he expected 800 900 when he became Of age on
the 10th Of August. 1876, and that on that day he
would marry her. He then ordered ring, and stated
to the jeweller who made 1t that IL for the girl
and that she to be his wife. Some letters were
also read on the same side tending to confirm the
follows:-
When other friends around thee,
And other hearts thinc
When other days have crowned thee
More fresh and green than milne;
Then think how sad and lonely
This wrctchcd heart will be;
Which, while IL beats, beats only,
Beloved one, for thee.
The defendant having been placed on the witness
stand to give evidence in his own behalf the scene
became gushing but of somewhat different sort.
The second question asked him whether he
had made promise of marriage to the plaintiff.
His answer was that he supposed he had. Imme-
diately Judge Donohue called for the answer of
dcfanduuf which lp denied ~
made such promise and submitting II to the de-
PENDANT asked him II he had sworn to 1t and II he
knew what he swore to. His answer that he did.
The Judge then ordered officer to take the de-
PENDANT into custody on charge Of perjury. I'm.
mediately the defendant burst into u passion of
tears protested that he did not understand the Ian
guage sufficiently at the time, and continuing his
weeping refused to 10 comforted. Some Of the
jurors sought to excuse him on the ground that no
did not understand the language at the time he
70 his answer, but the Judge said that was q matter
for the District Attorney The jury found in favor
of plaintiff for 5000 and the defendant being con-
Quoted to the Office of the District Attorney his bail
on the charge Of perjury was there fixed at $4,000.
