Bell invented the telephone began
Monday in New York before Judge
Wallace, in the United States
Circuit Court. The powerful cor

in this invention are the American
Bell Telephone Company and the
Peoples Telephone Company.
The suit was brought by the Bell
Company. The attorneys on both
sides comprise the most brilliant
lawyers of the country, and mill
ions OF dollars are involved in the
decision. Daniel Drawbaugh,
who is contesting the right of in
venting the telephone with Ora

The plaintiffs began taking testi-

witnesses have been examined and
the testimony fills seven large vol
