LEZINSKY LOSES.
Judg 9 seawe1l Decides That He Has
No Claim Against the School
Board.

Judge Seawell yesterday handed down
his decision in the case of Isidor Lezinsky,
who sued the Board OF Education for back
salary, claiming to have been employed as
a teacher in the Business Evening School.
The claim grew out of the merging of
the Commercial Evening School into its
successor. Lezinsky was employed as a
teacher of bookkeeping in the former, and
claimed to have been transferred to the
latter.
Judge Seawell, however, decided that
Lezinsky had, at no time since August 80.
1893, been in the employ of the Board OF
Education, and was consequently entitled
to no remuneration. Judgment for costs
was given for the defendant.
