A Suit OF Nearly $4,000 Won by the
Wilmington Firm.


In December 1879 James l.. Bransou OF
Philadelphia, the inventor of knitting
machine for stockings, made five-yesrs'
contract with the Trump Brothers
Machine Company Of this city to manu-
facture these machines, Branson agreeing
to have no one else make them and Trump
Brothers agreeing to make such
machines for no one else. The
practical Wilmington machinists made
many valuable suggestions which
resulted in marked improvements in the
machines, rendering Them very salable
and valuable to the trade. Branson, like
many other inventors, was very unbusi
nesslike man and hard to deal with. He
would give orders Tor d large number of
improved machines, and alter the work
lad progressed for month or 80 and the
Wilmington firm had gone TO great ex-
pense in getting up special machinery 10
40 the work in addition to the work on
the machines proper, he would change
his mind, conntermand the order and
wish to order something else. OF course
Trump Brothers demonstrated. Finally
Branson's conduct and letters becsm 9
unbearable. In February, 1882, he was,
III violation of the terms of his own con
tract, in arrears about 81, 800 for
mschiues already received. After several
attempts Oh the part of the Trump Bros
to settle the matter amioably, he refused
to pay until forced to in court, whereupon
suit was promptly entered against him by
their counsel, J. Fl. Hoffecker, Jr., Esq, +,
for this amount which he subsequently
was compelled to pay.
Later in the same year suit was
brought in the United States Circuit
Court in Philadelphia for damages for
his breach o: contrsc. in refusing to take
the knitting machines which had been
manufactured at his request by the
Trump Bros.
Thursday the suit culminstad in a
verdict by the jnry in favor Of the Trump
Brothers Machine Company for the full
amount of their claim and interest,
1896. Silss W. Petit, ESQ.,, of Phila-
delphis, and Mr.. Hoffsoker represented
Trump Bros. and Thomas J. Diehl, Esq ,
the defendant.
