LIABILITY FOR GRAIN OPTIONS
A Detroit Jury and Judge Disagree-A
New Point Raised.

DETROIT, Mich, March "A suit involv-
ing the question of liability for grain gam
bling debts was decided in the circuit court of
this city yesterday. The facts showed that a
note of $4,000 had been given in settlement of
margins in several wheat transactions. This
note had been transferred to the bank, and
paid just before maturity by the plaintiff in
this case, who was the father of one of the
partners in the firm to whom the note was
originally given. The superior court of Mich
igan has decided that where contact made
between parties, based on the rise and fall OF
a given commodity, without any intention to
deliver the article, and it is mutually so under
stood, they consider it grmbling contract,
and will not aid parties to enforce it. Under
this state Of facts the present circuit judge
charged that, it being understood that the
firm to whom the note was made
originally payable, transferred it to bank for
value without notice before maturity, the
bank then became bona fide holders and re-
ceived it free from all faint. The judge
further charged that if the jury believed that
plaintiff purchased this note of the bank it
must find a verdict for him, even though it
as known that the consideration was illegal.
The jury, nevertheless, returned verdict for
defendant. In answer to special questions
unlimited TO them the jury found that plaintiff
in this case knew that the note was given for
n illegal consideration when he took it, and
hat he took up and paid the note few days
before it fell due, and they were not satisfied
that he was not the owner of the note. The
case has been holly contested and has excited
much interest among business men.

A Michigan Boy Kills HIS Ill and Fretful
Mother to Secure Peat in the Family.

A Michigan Boy Kills HIS Ill and Fretful
Mother to Secure Peat in the Family.
DETROIT, Mich, Mch. 2. Tuesday evening
Mrs. Thos. Gillen, wife of well-to-do far
mer living at Bakers Corners, -four miles from
Armada, Macomb county, Mich, was shot
through the heart and almost instantly killed
by her son Charles B., about II years of age.
For some years Mrs. Gillens has been in ill
health and very fretful, SO much so that she
was once taken TO Pontiac asylum to be treat
ed for insanity. Her unfortunate failing made
life very unpleasant for the family at times. At
the hour named Mrs. Gillen was sitting up in
bed, and had been engaged in a
wordy dispute with her son, who went to the
closet to get his revolver, and going to the bed
shot her, the ball passing through her lungs,
from the effects of which she died within
fifteen minutes. Young Gllen manifests no
grief or contrition for the crime, simply de-
claring that he is ready to 60 to states prison
and that now there will be peace in the house.
He was arrested hitching up horse to notify
friends of his mothers death, and voluntarily
surrendered to the officers. The whole COM
munity is greatly shocked at the tragic affair
and are unable to account for it except on the
