June 81. Annie Cannon got by default on June
81 judgment OF $4,000 against the Brooklyn
City Railroad Company for injuries received
and ex-Judge Morris is anxious TO prove that
he was too i'll to be in court as n ground for re-
opening the default. Mr. Pattersons aflldavits
were to the effect that on the day named Mr..
Morris was well enough 10 sit on the stoop OF
his house in the evening and to visit the Oxford
Club.
Mr.. Morris was much annoyed by the inti-
nation that it was his habit to sham illness
when he wanted an adjournment OF q trial and
could not get 1t in any other way. He ex-
planned to Judge Osborne that he sat on the
stoop to get little fresh air and that he walked
from his house across the street to the oxford
Clut. but stayed at the club only few min
utes. Although he took his exercise. he said
II was quito impossible for him to go to court
and attend to his legal business. He further
said the company had n good defence. inas-
much as he expected to show that tho woman
received her injuries long before the accident
to which she attributed them.
Judge Osborne gave Mr.. Morris until Tues
day to furnish n brief. and said that in case the
default was orened he would impose pretty
heavy terms on the company.
