THE PaBKERsBURe SENSATION.
Suit for Damages-G-eat Crowds-s1. 900
Awarded the Plaintifr.

AWaruOoIh
Special to the Register.
PARxERsBURG, February 26.-The sen
sationsl case of VIM. A. Ferrell against
Thomas J. Anderson for seduction and
loss OF services of the formers daughter,
Miss Mary Belle Ferrell, is the attractive
feature of the Circuit Gpprt, damages LAID
at $4,000.
Miss Feerell gave in succInct clear
and moderate manner the time and cir
cumstsnces OF her seduction by Thomas j.
Anderson. She said that he seduced her
under promise of marriage, and that after
ward he induced her to sign an affidavit
that he was innocent; that he wanted her
to 90 to Ohio and gave her money to pay her
expenses; that he wanted her to 60 to o
doctor in order to get rid Of the child; and
that Of another time he Sc sent to patent
medicine firm in Philadelphia aud got
medicines for the came purpose.
Her statements were corroborated oy
numerous witnesses. The postmaster
testified to Anderson's sending the
letters for the medicine and his getting
the same from the postoffice, in fact the
young girls testimony was backed up BY
the testimony throughout
The defense undertook to break down
her character by the introduction of man
named Alfred Snyder, who swore to have
seen her in questionable position with q
man whom he didn't know.
Snyder was clearly impeached BY halt a
dozen witnesses who swore they would not
believe him under oath. The testimony
against Snyder was so strong that Snyder
went out and took his man with him.
There was great deal Of swearing at
right angles With the truth somewhere.
The defendant, Anderson, in his testi-
mony denied all the charges and allega-
tions Of paternity aud promise OF marriage
BE also states that he mailed the registered
letter tor the medicine at her request. His
explanation of why he transferred his
property was rather opaque.
The plaintiff proved by his records that
Anderson had transferred several tracts Of
land within the past few months and that
he was now worth little or nothing.
The introduction Of the baby brought
down the house.
The testimony was concluded at noon
and Hon. d. H. Leonard opened the argu'
ment for the plaintiff Immediately the
afternoon session began. His argument
was logical and brief. He was followed
by Mr.. Leoni Smith in brief address, Mr..
Tavenner then concluded the argument for
the defense. His effort was ingenious and
forcible from his standpoint
Hon. C. T. Caldwell then concluded the
argument for the plaintiff. His efforts in
this case far exceeded any OF his former
displays OF oratorical ability.
The case went to the jury after instruc.
tions on certain points of law. The jury
went out and returned with verdict Of
$1,000.
There are two other suits against Mr..
Anderson, one pending in the Circuit
Court of Writ county tor bastardy and the
other for breach of promise, both brought
by Miss Mary Ralle Ferrell The verdict
gives general satisfaction.

Congress would be taken away from it, for
tVo.thirds of the time of members and
