mon carriers, was decided this evening by
q Jury in The United States Court before
JudpcWelker. The case was substantially
this: Last June the First National BANK OF
Cincinnati shipped by the United states
Express Company a package containing
1000 to the Van Vert National Bank
ON the latter's order. For some rea-
son that was not satisfactorily ex'
claimed at the trial the package was car
ried into Indiana, where It lay day In the
express.office OF small town. When II
finally reached the Van Vert Bank the
package was opened and found to contain
not the money, but blank paper cut tue SIZE
OF bills. The Van Vert Bank sued the ex.
press company to recover the amount, and
the case has been on trial here this week.
Tonight, after being out but ten minutes,
the Jury found for the bank, awarding II
the full amount with interest, s1O,3O6.67.
II was evident from the testimony that the
messengers were careless, and though the
evidence did not point IN any certain direc-
lien the officials claim tonight that they
think they can locate tue robbery.
