SUING TO GET $500.
w Q. Jackson Against the Southern
Bank and Maj. Hartridge.

w. Q. Jackson Against the Southern
Bank and Maj. Hartridge.
An important banking case was begun in
the city court yesterday afternoon. 1t is
that OF W. @. jackson VS.. the Southern
Bank OF the State of Georgia and Maj A
L. Hartridge.
MIR. Jackson alleges in his declaration
that on Dec. %, 1890, he intrusted to Mai.
Hartrtdge 81, 800 to be invested for him in
the capital stock of the Citizens Bank, and
that Maj. Hartridge after investing 1889 80
In Citizens Bank stock deposited the re-
maiuder 81. $40 10 in his own name on gen.
eral deposit in.the Southern Bank. Mr.
jackson alleges that he often requested Mai
Hartridge to return to him the money, but
he failed to comply. and on Feb. 9, 1891, he
notified the Southern Bank that the
81, $40 10 was on deposit there and demand
ed payment, which was refused. Therefore
suit was brought by him against the bank
and Maj. Hartrldge.
A. II. MacDo0ell, ESQ.,, represents the
plaintiff and Col George A. Mercer the de-
fendant bank. An argument was made by
Col. Mercer for non-suit on the ground
that the suit should not have been brought
against the bank, because the bank Is not
supposed TO know anything about what
Maj. Hartridge owed. The deposit was In
his name. and it had no right to recognize
anybody's claim to another's money on
| deposit. If Maj Hartridge owed Mr..
Jackson anything, it was claimed, the proper
course for him to have pursued was to sue
Maj. Hartridge and garnishee the fund in
the bank, but not to bring the bank into a
|, suit.
Mr.. MacDonell strenuously opposed a
non-suit, because his client had notified the
bank that bis money had been placed there
by Mr.. Hartridge, and to all intents and
purposes is still there. Mr.. jackson said
clear title was proved TO the money on de-
posit, a prima facie case had been made out,
and he was entitled to recover
The questions raised involved some novel
and knOtty points Of law as to the liability
OF a bank for money deposited, so much so
that Judge Harden reserved his decision on
the non-suit until this morning.

the jury and asked the points on Wnlcn
another charge was wanted. a look OF dlsap-
pointmeEt overspread the countenance OF
all.
THE JURY RECHARGED.
Foreman Evans said the jury wanted a
more explicit explanation OF the counts or
the indictment as to force and intimidation.
Judge Falligant replied he was under the
impression that he had fully charged In
that respect at first, but as the request had
been made he reiterated his original charge.
The jury again retired, and in twenty
minutes, at 4:30 o'clock, agreed. When
DeLaughter was told in the sherifs office
that a verdict had been reached he smiled
in a sickly way and walked into the court
room twirling a silk handkerchief and with
lighted Cigar in his mouth
THE VERDICT.
While the roll of the jury was being
called by Clerk Carr, DeLaughter seemed
TO be in great suspense and violently chewed
the cigar as if trying to muster nerve.
When the words 1--WE. the jury, find the de-
PENDANT, J. E. DeLaughter, guilty on the
first count and recommend him to the ex-
treme mercy of the court" we're read the
prisoner turned toward the twelve men who
had sealed his doom and gave them look of
despair whioa betokened that be had hoped
for different determination.
The prisoner was at once taken back to
jail, Judge Falligant having decided TO
postpone sentence until the conclusion OF
the cases of Turner and Perkins
Mr.. Morgan told a MORNING News res
porter THAI he intends to apply for new
trial.
HOW THE VERDICT WAS REACHED.
The jury, it is said, stood from the first
eleven for conviction Of robbery by force.
and one for robbery by intimidation, and the
clause recommending the prisoner to the
extreme mercy of the court was agreed to
by the eleven to prevent a mistrial.
Turner's Hypnotic influence" trial will
begin this morning at $50 o'clock, Judge
Falligant having decided not to begin it
yesterday afternoon. because he didn't care
to have jury locked up all night. Turn
er's trial will be merely reiteration of the
DeLaughter case, aud with the exception of
the original defense of Judge O'Byrne, will
not have as much interest for the public as
the one concluded last night.

from the fact that Hines fall was not over
ten feet, and he turned a somersault in that
distance

NOT LIKELY TO BREAK THE LEASE.
The lease, he said, is SO much to the adj
vantage Of the Georgia Pacific or the Rich
mond and Dsnville rather. that he could
not believe they would even consider the
idea Of annulling 1t. With the control OF
the Central railroad. they are able not only
to make it earn all its own expenses and
dividends, but a surplus as well. which
would be Of great assistance iG the opera
ton Of the other roads Of the system.
RumOrs of all kinds are afloat with res
gard TO the Richmond and'Danville's action.
It is said 10 finan cial difficulties will COM
pei it to break the lease and that this step is
now beng considered. The prospect Of the
breaking Of the lease is very satisfactory
one 70 many people in Savannah. In the
meanwhile the New York stockholders will
wait for their dividends until the issue is
settled. The question arises if the Rich
mond and Dan vile refutes to pay the bal
ance of the dividends on the Central stock
and tho dividends on the Southwestern
ssock, does it not break the terms
of the lease, aud is not the lease then an

Miss MoLLIE TALMAGE, a niece of
Dr.. Talmage, was born in China and
lived there some time as a missionary.
She could speak Chinese before she
learned English. She says the Chinese
language is very difficult to master,
because so much depends on the tone
Or pitch in which the same word is
spoken. For instance, the word "Gee"
has eight different meanings as it is
pronounced. The word "Ku-je" means
precious and it also means "devil."
One American who was studying the
Language referred to his wife as his
''Ku-je," and as he did not get the
pitch right he called her devil
