BRFoRE JUDGE BoNNEY


=. FRIDAY-James A. WEIGH. by his next friend,
vs. Argyle d. Morse Action of Islander. The
plaintiff, lad 10 years of age, claims that on
the 18th of January, 1882, he with his father, was
in the Office of Morse Pickett, the father wishing
to pay bill. The bill was not ready and Mr..
Morse told the father to wait. The father stepped
into the next building, and the boy asked permits
sion to the telephone; that while he was using
1t Morse stepped out leaving him alone; that while
waiting for connection to be made by telephone, he
THEOLOGY leaned against desk facing the door, with
his hand resting upon the corner of the safe, near
by the telephone, and the door of which was partly
open; that while SO standing Morse rushed In, saw
the safe door open, grabbed at him. and accused
him of robbing him; that he was startled and with
out thinking ran out of the door and down the
street, pursued by Morse, crying "Stop thief" The
boy says, that upon second thought, after running
$50 feet, he stopped and Morse caught him. carried
him back to the office, and in the presence of a
crowd that had gathered accused him of robbipp
bis safe and having the money in his pocket The
Marshal was sent for, the boy was searched and IT
is not claimed that he had any money upon him be-
longing to Mr.. Morse. Morse after wards examined
his safe and found nothing missing.
Mr. Morse says that when he left his office his safe
door was closed, but not locked; that when he re-
turned the boy was leaning over. back to him, one
hand on the safe and the other In the safe that be-
fore he could sneak, WEIGH, turning his head, saw
him, and like flash off down the street; that
he pursued him and brought him back; that he ask
ed him what he was doing in his safe, but did not
cuse him of robbery; he did send for the Marshal
and had the boy searched. He denied using any
