improvements. for which he paid 500
Some time since the lock on the inside
on the burglar-proof doors became out OF
order, and Mr.. Williams could not get
his goods out that had been placed in
there the evening before for safekeeping.
Being in a quandary what to do. he
called TO his aid Mr.. Charles Hicks,
well-known local machinist, who also
tried the lock, but could not do anything
with it. Mr.. Hicks then went TO work
with his ordinary tools and cut the door
open in a short time Mr.. Williams
thereupon brought suit for damages, pray
ing that iuasmuch as Mr.. Hicks opened
the safe with TO special tools the safe
was in no wise burgar-proof The case
first came UP before Justice CTenshaw who
gave Mr.. Williams judgment. 1t was then
appealed by Mr.. Smith TO the Corporation
Court. and Monday the case was heard
before Judge Dggs Yesterday the jury
reported that they had failed to agree. it
being understood that they were unde-
cded whether the suit should have been
brought against Mr.. Smith or the safe
company
The case will now be postponed until
the April term Of the court. and will no
doubt attract widespread attention.
