Dempsey Wins His Famous Case Against

Dempsey Wins HIS tatnous case AEhihSb
the Dobson Brothers, in Philadelphia. =
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 24.-A jury
to-day brought in q verdict of $4,000
in favor of John W. Dempsey, a former
employe of the carpet manufacturing
firm of John & James Dobson of this
city.
Dempsey, who was the leading dyer
for the firm, sued to recover $500
damages for the loss of secret formulas
for mixing dyeing colors. He claimed
that the secrets were kept in certain
books which were his personal property,
and which he kept zealously guarded,
but that the defendants forcibly got
possession of the books and copied the
secret formulas, causing him damage
aggregating the amount sued for.
The defence or the other hand,
claimed that the books belonged to the
mills and that they were forced to take
them from Dempsey, as he was leaving
their employ, because it had been re-
ported to them that Dempsey was
removing the numbers from tine pitchers
in which the colors were distributed,
thus losing the identity of the different
shades and causing the firm to lose
thousands of dollars.
The jury, after being out two hours,
reached the above verdict.
