| But it can only be a suspicion at the most The
proof was strongly 10 favor Of the plaintiff s
| theory and the Jury brought 10 verdict In ac-
cordance with the testimony The defendant,
Plastrdge, had attached certain property In the
possession OF the plaintiffs father, Russell Miller,
upon a note which the old man had given him for
money lent The plaintiff now comes In and
claims that the property was his, having been,
the greater part OF it, transferred to him by his
father, a few years before. 1t seems from the
testimony that old Mr.. Miller had once been worth
tered large part OF it away in patent rights
| Amongst other gentlemen into whose hands he
| fell were three welI-known characters, Aopzo
Redway, "Tom" Bates and Joshua Sawyer
whose regulations are anything but savory
They induced him to pay about fourteen hun
dred dollars In real estate and work for
receipt to clean marble tombstones etc,
which reads IA follows uerbdtim ct Hterdtim,
Furst Wash with Salsoda Dissolved in Water
then with Mureattec assid half water then with
eileen water" The old man having become pos
sessed OF this valuable receipt went to Boston in
company with the above named parties and of
course was soon destitute, the only share OF the
spoils he ever received being lot OF land in the
town Of Florida, Massachusetts, which was taken
for patent right territory at a valuation OF three
thousand dollars It turned out afterward that
the lot is situated on the top of Hoosac mountain
and that its sole products are granite boulders.
| The plaintiff made a very good appearance upon
| the stand and soon engage ed the sympathes OF the
| jury, as an affectionate son who was trying TO
make home for his father and mother in their
old age. The defendant Plastridge had a good
| case however, for he had parted with his money
in good faith and he deserved to recover it. Mr..
Howe was merely the sheriff who made the at.
tachment for Plastridge The trial was long,
lasting from Friday afternoon until Wednesday
afternoon, and thu case was ably tried upon both
sides Messrs W. P. Dillingham; and Plumley
and Bats for the plaintiff; Messrs. James N.
johnson and Charles II Heath for the defendant
Calvin Bassett Us r. p. Camp, appellant. The
plaintiff In this case il a resident Of Barre; the
defendant of Orange. The case Is based upon
certain note which the plaintiff held against Mer
rill Eastman OF Barre for $500 That note wa.
sued, judgment obtained, and certain quantity
Of hay and grain was sold thereupon. 1t was il
winter, and Mr.. Eastman needed the property
with which to feed his cattle At that time he
belonged tn Camp financially, and he appealed
to the latter for help The defendant admits this
and also admits that he agreed to sign note
with him for the value OF the property that wa.
bid off by the plaintiff provided Eastman would
secure him by certain notes belonging to Mrs
Eastman The plaintiff testified that he had a
conversation with the defendant on the postoffice
steps in Barre, in which he promised that, II he
| would let Eastman use the hay and grain. he
would see him p,d by signing note, or other
| wise The defendant denied this conversation
and in fact. denied any knowledge of the plain.
tiff denied ever speakng with him in his life
1t seems, though that the plaintiff would no,
have reuquished his hold upon the property
unless he had had some security. and the inry ac
cordiuply gave A verdict in his favor for sI6s 90
