At first a speed of only fifteen words per

higher rate Of speed could be maintained.

THE BRANCH-COOPER LITIGATION
The Proceedings Had in the Case
Thus Ear.

nus ar.
Savannah, Ca, July 26.-Editor Morn
ing News: The notice in your local col
umn of the Branch case does me injustice.
1t would appear that 1 had lost the case
each time and was stubbornly resisting a
just demand against me. The fact is that
the first trial resulted in judgment in
my favor, and this judgment was set aside
at the instance of Mr. Branch. The Sec
Ond trial resulted in a verdict for Mr..
Branch for 81 and costs, and this result
was set aside at his instance. The third
and last trial resulted in a verdict for Mr..
Branch, or his estate, for one half the
amount always demanded of me, with in
terest from the date Of the transaction
on this one-half, the court costs to be di-
vided equally between the parties. Being
dissatisfied with the verdict, have made
motion for a new trial, which has just
been overruled, and this is the first mo-
ton for a new trial. or a rehearlng, that l
have ever made in the case.
Your report is also incorrect when il
states that the mistake was due TO the
fact that $4,000 in assets were overlooked.
If this We're the truth, and the whole
truth of the matter there would have been
no necessity for any suit against me l
do not propose, however, to discuss the
case in the newspapers, but merely to call
attention to the history of this litigation,
and TO say that I have always been en-
tirely satisfied that 1 did not owe Mr..
Branch, or his estate, one dollar, legally
or morally. and for this reason with en-
tire respect for the opinion Of the last jury
and the presiding judge, 1 intend to have
the supreme court pass upon my motion
for new trial, which, 1 repeat, is the
first motion made by me.
