SOME HOT SHOT
Fired by an Angry Woman at
the Defense
AND HIS ATTORNEY.

The Dropping of a Hot Potato Said
Not to be in It ith the WY ths
Eloquent Grant Let Go of Mrs. Anna
George-some Letters introduced in
an Interesting Replevin Suit That
May illustrate the Changes Brought
by Years.
The case Of Anna George against George
Saxton has been concluded before Justice
Dtrr. Decision has been reserved, pending
the clearing of doubt attaching to the owner
ship of several a.ticles, a lace curtain among
them. The case will be decided in favor of
the plaintiff, inasmuch as the defense present.
ed no testimony and an appeal will be taken.
During the trial J. J. Grant had cause to
wish he hadn't and now has the laugh on him.
As Mr.. Saxton's attorney he made, while cross
examining her, some remark touching Mrs.
Georges reputation that offended her She
Indignantly replied: "My reputation is as
good as yours. You lost your reputation when
you ran for mayor last spring and lost mine
when l ran with Saxton." There are many
who say that during the remainder of the trial
Mr.. Grant did not interrogate her very closely.
| During the progress of the hearing the fol.
lowing letters were introduced by the plain.
tih's attorneys:
HE WAS NOT sCoLDTNG,
CANTON, April &c. 1902.
DEAR ANNA: | wrote you last Wednesday
and / suppose that you think that am scold-
ing you all of the time but l do not want to
scold you because I guess you have enough
trouble without seedlings from me. l will
send Grant down to Hanovcrton on the 9th Of
next month to see the witnesses and have
talk with them and take their deposition.
do not think you are going to havcany trouble
with your case out there but of course do not
know what Samples arguments are, but
do not think he cares whether you get a divorce
or not il he can only get some money on the
other case. | will want to take your deposition
in relation to the letter and offer that Sample
made. You told me that he offered you 81 600
! ii you would 90 before his attorney and say
that was the cause of your leaving him. Was
| that what the letter said? If we only had that
letter it would be valuable evidence. With
love and kisses. GEO.
