AWARDED HEAVY DAMAGES.
A Jury Gives Him $31 ,5OO for Injury
 to His Credit and Reputat1on.

A Jury Gives Him $3 ,5OO for Injury to His Credit and Reputation. Samuel H. Willard, who for twenty
 eight years previous to 1887 had been in
 the employ of the Holmes, Booth & Hay
 den company of Waterbury, was sued by
 the company to recover the amount of two
 promisory notes aggregating about $14, ,000. It was alleged that he had indorsed these
 notes for the Forest City Carbon Manu- featuring company of Cleveland with the name of the Holmes, Booth & Hayden l company, of which he was then treasurer, without their being a matter of the com
 pany's business and without it's authority, and that the Holmes, Booth & Hayden | company had paid the notes on their ma turing
 The company attached MT. Willartl's property on suit to recover, but the de- cision of the courts was favorable to the defendant. Then MT. Willard sued the | company, claiming S25,0 ,000 damages for the depreciation of his property while it
 was under attachment, $2, 800 for legal ex-
 penses, and $50, 900 for aspersions cast on
 his good name. It was shown that MT.
 Willard had been forced to resign as treas
 urer of two other companies on account of
 the charges made against him, and that he
 had also declined the presidency of bank
 which had been offered him just before.
