CATION, case has just been tried at Cedar
town strikingly peculiar for the remarkable
GOODNESS of the litgants. Bentford of Car
roll and Morris of Polk county, brothers
in-law, disagreed in a settlement of a land
and saw mill transaction between them,
Bentford claiming Morris was indebted to
him; Morris denying such Indebtedness.
They could not remember or understand
their past transactions alike, so Bentford
sued Morris. When the case came on for
trial, Benttord came up from Carroll to
Cedartown the evening previous and spent
the night with Morris, whore Bentfor6, Jr.,
also witness against Morris, was board
ing. All three passed the evening pleas
antly together, discussing other topics,
leaving the trouble of reconciling their
differences for the court and
after good nights rest and
refreshing breakfast under Morris
roof, all came up to the court next morning
for the contest. Bentford, Jr., and senior
sworn for the plaintiff gave in their evil
dence clearly, positively, but calmly. Then
came Morris and his witness testlfying in
the same manner, but crossing at right
angles the statements of plaintiff and his
son. Each party seemed to contend con
scientiously and strongly for his side of the
case, and yet without the least excitement
or feeling. The court rendered a decision
which both sides abided in silence. Bent
ford bidding adieu to Morris, returned home,
while Bentford, Jr., went back to Morris,
his boarding house. The animus of these
parties does not find a parallel once in a
thousand cases, and yet it is what should
control in every honest legal investigation.
