DAWES DAMAGES.

Judge Thayer Says If FOtherfngham Re-
duces HIS Damages to 1000 He Will
Let the Judgment Stand.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. A.-Judge Thayer this
morning rendered his decision on the mo-
ton for a new trial made by the Adams
Express Company in the damage suit Of
David s. Fotheringham for false i'm
prisonment.
The court held that the 500, 900 damages
awarded Fotheringham by the jury was
excessive, and ruled that unless Fother-
ingham remitted S. 900 OF the judgme n t
within five days the court would grant the
motion for new trial.
Chas. P. Johnson, who Is one Of Fother
ingham's attorneys, is in favor Of accept
ing the judges recommendation. He said:
Il do not know what my associate coun-
sci, Mr.. Harvey, thinks Of Judge Thayer's
decision, but l have very high opinion of
the Judge, aud if, after carefully consider
ing the case, he advises settlement for
$12, 900, certainly am in favor of settlin g
on that basis. A new trial means much
vexatious work, aud if an appeal is taken
a very great expense would be involved"
Judge Martin, Of Martin, Laughlin &
Kern, attorneys for the Adams Express
Company, said 1--WE have but just heard
of Judge Thayer's decision, and we have
not had time to consider it; but think
the company will take an appeal. Foth-
eringham heretofore offered to settle for
S13, 900, but we don't consider him entitled
to one cent?
