BREAK IN THE TRIAL
Mr.. Harris's Injury Temporarily
Delays Cabinet Company Case.
Thomas l.. Pierce. Alleged Purchaser of
the Boston Branch, Testifies-nOre
Light on Those Notes.

The proceedings OF the bank case were
interrupted yesterday afternoon by the
shooting of a. c. Harris, one of counsel for
defense. The court was convened prompt
ly at clock yesterday morning and two
witnesses from out of the city were sworn.
The first witness called to the stand was
Thomas L. Pierce, the alleged purchaser Of
the Boston branch of the cabinet company.
1t was shown by his testimony that he had
known the Collins in Richmond, and that
he had been in the employ of the cabinet
company in this city in the capacity of
shipping clerk prior TO the alleged purchase
OF the Boston store. He said his salary
had been SIS week, and that he had bare
ly enough money to pay his fare to Boston
when the purchase was made. He also
testified To having received money from
the Collins with which TO pay his expenses
while at Boston. He is, now engaged in
selling furniture on commission in the
rooms formerly occupied by the Boston
branch store. He displayed on the stand
wonderful disregard of the extent of the
property he was about to purchase, and
did not even know that the property was
covered by the mortgage given the bank
by the company to secure it's paper
+. w. Dickerman, president of the Amer
lean Desk and Seating Company of Chica-
go, was also upon the stand, and testified
to the transaction between that company
and the cabinet company. He was shown
several drafts drawn on his company by
the cabinet company which he said were
never presented TO his company. He said
he had never seen the drafts until he
before the federal grand jury to testify in
the case. He was also shown number of
drafts which he said had been presented
but not accepted by his company. In con-
nection with his testimony letter was in
troduced written by Il. a. Coffin saying his
bank wanted him to furnish them SO, 900,
which he could not do in legitimate way,
and asked Dickerman to send him accom-
mediation paper for as much of the amount
as he could Dickerman said he sent the
entire amount, and received as security
note Of Coffin for the amount. This accom-
mediation paper was afterward returned.

WOODRUFF PLACE TITLES.
End of Litigation Over an Old Issuance
of Bonds.

In the Circuit Court, yesterday, the suit
Of Nelson Beardsley against w. A. Van
Buren,, trustee, to foreclose mortgage
certain property in Woodruff Place, was
dismissed and an agreement to quiet title
to the same was entered the court rec
ords. The suit has been pending in the
Circuit Court for year, and has a singular
history. Years ago, when James o. Wood
ruff and wife plated the park east of the
city, they issued on certain lots bonds OF
$1,000 each, and bearing 10 per cent. inter
est; These bonds fell into the hands of
Nelson Beardsley, a wealthy banker of
Auburn. n. Y. In some manner the bonds
were mislaid and the banker forgot their
existence until a year ago, when he came
across them. He brought suit against Mrs.
u. d. Woodruff, sster-in-law of the orig
inal owner of Woodruff Place, and w. A.
Van Buren,, the trustee of the mortgages.
The suit to foreclose was yet pending at
the death of the plaintiff few months
ago. and the management Of his affairs
was intrusted TO his daughters. The lat
ter, unwilling to push the litigation, in
structed their attorneys to dismiss the suit.

EXHIBIT OPEN ON SUNDAY.
Art Association Decides on a New Step
Officers Elected.

There was a meeting Of the directors
of the Art Association yesterday afternoon
at the Columbia Club. The purpose OF the
meeting was to elect officers for the COM
ing year and to attend to a few matters
of business not completed at the annual
meeting, when the directors were chosen.
The election resulted in the following
choice: President, Rev. n. A. Hyde; vice
presidents, Mrs. May Wright Sewall, Mrs.
A b. Mansur and Mr.. Charles E. Coffin;
secretary, Mrs. Addison c. Harris and
treasurer Mrs. John C. Dean. The most
important matter decided by the directors
was in regard to the opening Of the May
art exhibit. on Sundays. There was con-
outside Of the Art Association a great
deal expressed on both sides of the ques-
ton. The matter has been agitated for so
long, and as the association has been post
pOning bringing up the subject, Il was
thought best to settle it. Mr.. C. E. Cof-
fin presented motion In favor of keeping
the exhibit open Sundays. and it was car
red. with but one dissenting voice, and
the one who voted no said that she was in
favor OF IL, but she would vote as she
did TO keep the president, who did not
vote, company.
The pulse Of the general public will be
tested when the exhibit opens, to see II
those who have not the time and oppor-
tunity TO visit the exhibit during the week
Will patronize ii Sundays. There has been
so much said, pro and con. that il will
be a matter of some curiosity to find out
how the Sunday public will treat its
cham lions. The association will give an
informal reception TO the delegates 10 the
Indiana Union OF Literary Clubs, Tuesday
afternoon, May l, at the Columbia club
house, where the pictures which constitute
the associations possessions are hung. This
will give the visitors an opportunity not
only to see the pictures which are to be
