MAINE MILLIONS INVOLVED.
The Double Liabiy Case 10 Be Argued al
Portland. Monday.

Portland July 23.-(SpeciaD.--A great
ested in a case to be argued in the law
court in this city. Monday, in which the
question of double liability is involved,
In the case which is to be considered,
Mrs. Selden Conner, wife of General Sell
den Common, the pension agent Tor the
Maine and New hampshire district, is
the defendant. The suit is brought by
Kansas parties or their assigns. Several
years ago. Mrs. Common bought stocks in
a certain Western company. which went
to ruin. The claims of this company
were bought up by spectators and now
the people who lost by the purchase OF
the original stock are asked to pay a
double liability
The case will be argued for the prose-
cution by Lawyer Gutherie of Kansas.
and the Hon. Augustus F. Moulton OF
Portland The defence will be argued by
Judge j. W. Symonds of Portland.
The Maine supreme court has never
passed upon this question of double la
biity. California and Missouri, and per-
haps the courts of some other states,
have decided i'm favor of the principle,
while Massa chusetts and New York have
decided against it. One of the prominent
lawyers of the State says that If the
court decides in favor of double liability,
It will take between $4,000 oG etpd $1,000, 0oo
from Maine people. In the city of Gardi-
ner alone the decision will afesct at least
50 people, and the number in all sections
of the State will be large.
What makes the ease still more aggra-
waited is the fact that the people who in
vested in these stocks lost all the money
which they paid in, and now to be asked
10 paw a second time seems to them a
hardship and a grievous injustice.
