A LONG DELAYED CASE.

Some Ave or six years ago the Young
Mems Loan Association Of this city paid
off the stockholders leaving some property
and other securities to redeem q quantity
of loan certificates held by outside parties.
In order to secure these obligations Willard
Hall Porter was appointed receiver, ard
It was expected that he would facilitate the
collections and pay off the outstanding
claims
Mr.. Ponder has not the time to attend to
matters and the creditors begin to think
that they are regarded IN the same class
as the French spoliation Claimants Law"
yers have been consulted. but they decline
to take the case as they do not wish to give
offense to Mr.. Porter but they were free
70 say that had the receiver been an or
binary business man they would compel
him to close the accounts forthwith. Such
a travesty Of justice and right is ref1ec-
ton not on the bar, but on the court.
It Is now proposed by some of the credi-
,c,s to employ a lawyer In another state 70
see If the account cannot be closed befo's
the principal shall be entirely eaten up In
fees. Such delays are inexcusable and yet
the interested parties seem to have but lit
lie redress.

NOW FOR THE VERDICT.
Both Sides Are Through in the
Ewing Damage Case,

This morning saw the beginning Of the
epd OF the Superior Court damage case Of
Ewing vs. the Mayor and Council, and be-
fore court adJourns tonight Mrs. Sidney
II. Ewing and the counsel who have so
ably presented the case will have heard tho
verdict.
This mornings first witness was Dr. J.
J. Jones, who was on the stand when court
adjourned yesterday afterpool He IL the
city's star witness and by him Messrs.
Knowles Hartman and Elliott have en-
deavored to break down the plaintiffs
medical testimony. But tho attempt has
ended In failure. As soon as the doctor
went on the stand this morning he told Mr..
Knowles that the X-ray negative produced
by Dr.. James II. Morgan did not show an
abnormal condition OF Mrs. Ewing's ankle
as the plaintiffs witness had 80 stated. d..
Jones told Mr.. Hilles that he had made NO
examination Of Mrs. Ewings ankle, form :
Ing his theory Of the condition Of the limb
upon what he had heard from the lips Of
other witnesses. The witness was asked
what in his opinion was the matter with
the ankle. He answered neutretis, which
he explained to be inflammation Of the nerves
which might have been caused by the ac-
cident. He considered that the plaintiff
had acted imprudently In not having called
In a physician sooner, for had she done so,
the injury would not have been nearly
so bad. He concluded by saying that Mrs.
Ewing might yet be suffering pain. but
how long the pain would remain he would
not say.
DR.. H. W. Briggs, DR.. Henry ]. Stubs
nv, 7 npt
ined, as Roentgen ray experts, but as plain
everyday physicians, who stated that In
Mrs. Ewing's case physician should have
been called In Immediately. which they set
off by telling Mr.. Hilles that when the in
Jury was so slight as Mrs. Ewing first sup
posed 1t was, 1t Is a frequent occurrence to
not summon physician.
Then Mr.. Knowles called ex-Street and
Sewer Commissioner William Simmons,
whom he wanted to pose as gutter-plate
eypert, but the court would not let him tes-
tify holding that the subject was matter
of common experience. Mr.. Simmons LEFT
the stand smiling.
Unexpectedly the defence rested and even
more so the plaintiff closed its case, 1t had
been expected that Messrs. Hilles and
Chandler would introduce testimony In re-
buttal, but they evidently believed their
case had been uniniured by the defence's
medical testimony.
After both sides had presented their
prayers and law the court limited argument
on each side to one hour. Mr.. Chandler
opened for the plaintiff and Mr. Knowles
for the defendant. He was speaking when
the noon recess was taken.
