NOTED CASE SETTLED.
Sell Telephone Company Beaten In the
Long Contested Patent Suit.
Boston, Dec 19.-The long contested
patent suit of the United States VS..
The American Bell Telephone company
was ended during the morning when
Judge Carpenter Of the United States
circuit court rendered decision against
the telephone company. This suit was
bill in equity praying for the repeal
Of letters patent issued to Emile Ber-
liner, assignor of the American Bell
Telephone company, for a combined
telephone and telegraph system.
The case has been in court for num-
Der Of years and is already familiar to
the public. The Berliner patents were
issued to the telephone company,
But Never Put Into Use
by them on account, they claimed, of
the expense of making changes in the
telephone system, while other com.
panies were prevented from using the
system. The value of the patent in
volved is said to be $4,000, 900. The
governments case against the Bell
Telephone company contained two
counts and the judge sustained the
government in both. The first count
was in effect that the issuance of the
patent to the Berliner company was
unnecessarily delayed, and the second
count was in substance that former
patent issued to Berliner covered sub
stantially the same claims as made in
the patent issued in 1891.

inquired Mrs. Maynard with the same
reserve and in a speculative tone. Her
fingers were still busy with their work
of destruction; her eyes idly watched
the great crimson petals futtering to
their death.
"OReilly?" North smiled a little,
with his eyes fixed in sharp but baf1ed
scrutiny upon her coldly unresponsive
face. Yes, through him. could take
him into court to-day, with two or three
other persons who are equally within
reach and by his sworn testimony,
without the aid Of any documentary
evidence whatever, establish Annie Du-
points identity SO thoroughly that no
combination nor conspiracy against her
could possibly overthrow it; but for her
sake prefer to wait for the corrobora-
tive testimony that those documents
contain. There will surely be but a
few hours longer delay 4 49,.
He was unconscious of the warmth in
his words and manner until he was
awakened to the fact by the cold, sur
prised inquiry in Mrs. Maynard's sud-
denly lifted eyes.
"You are singularly enthusiastic. Mr..
North" she said, slowly. holding her
gaze steadily, while North, with mo-
mentary discontinue. felt himself
flushing little under it's cold accusa-
ton. "You leave me no possible infer
ence but that your most ardent wish is
TO establish this identity. May ask if
your sudden interest in this hitherto
unknown heiress is purely profess
sional?''
