An Interesting civil bult-WAEFants Is
Hued-EOOd for Scandal In the HeymAn
Case, with Dessert:
Att O'Clock last evening Justice Philips
court room took on the appearance Of q
country debating society. The reporter
was glad to get in out Of the rain, and sat
down in one Of the Justices newly painted
chairs, which had been colored brilliant
auburn. He wanted to survey the scene,
but was mad enough, however, when
some OF the spectators discovered, the
scenery on the larboard side Of his seven
dollar pantaloons, when he started to 90
into the jury room.
The case on hand was civil suit for
damages brought by Charles Rohrig
against Commodore Ed. HsFnbrook: II
seems that during the last rise in the river,
some time In January, the Commodore
had tied up couple OF barges adjacent 70
q slaughter house owned by the plaintiff.
The surging waves washed the barges
against the structure aforementioned and
Slaughtered and MANNED its brick walls
almost beyond repair. The gentle Com.
modoTe didn't know the damage his boats
were doing. and as he had but little con.
troll over the elements even II he had
known 1t, he didn't think he ought TO pay
anything for the accident, A jury wasim
panneled consisting Of Messrs. Jas. French,
VIM, McOluskey, Joseph Bodley, Nick
Reister, John McOracken and j. N. Todd.
Enough witnesses were examined TO
make good company Of militia, and the
pros and cons were heard until nearly
midnight. The jury then held confer:
encs and awarded Rohrig one hundred
aud hfty.tWo dollars. He had claimed
three hundred dollars as damages, Cald'
we'll & Caldwell were for the defendant,
and Captain B, B. D0vener for the plain
tiff. It Is not yet known whether MI
Rohrig will sue the river for the balance
or not,
TIE HRYMAN CASE,
before the same justice, Is set for to NOR
row morning at so'Clock. He is tn
men who shot Stevens In Bellaire
the other day, and in which some
ljuicy developments are expected, II
seems that his wife and his sister n'law
are complainants. The former lady has
been trying to get divorce from Heyman
but he objects TO 0 separation, ana In or
DER to prevent her, the Justice informed the
reporter that he conspired TO get her into
o house oil i'll repute In this city one day
last week. He informed the sister.in.laW
that her little daughter was in the house
in question with another girl sChool.mate,
and urged them TO 20 OF once to their relief
They started out In great alarm, but no.
ticing that an entertainment was going on
at the Fourth ward school house they
went in there and found the children
Heyman had secured the services Of On
officer and had intended to have the
house "pulled" while the ladies were
In It.
Mrs. Heyman Is quito handsome
woman, and the probability is that quite
o number OF alarm clocks will be set TO-
night with the index hand pointing Il
I7:30A.M.
