kramer made an Inventory OF his

A CHANGE OF VENUE.
The Gaze of L. L. Thompsen vs.. Arthar
Murray Carried TO Little Rock.

The Case Of L. L. Thompson vs.. Arthur
Murray Carried 10 Little Rock.
The case Of L. L. Thompson, VS..
Arthur Murray was called in the
Jefferson Circuit Court this morn
ing for its second trial, when
Messrs. A. B. Grace aud D. Fl.
Rousseau, attorneys for the plaintiff,
made a motion for change of
venue. The motion was sustained
and the case was transferred to the
Pulaski Circuit Court.
This case is familiar to most of
our people. Thompson brought suit
against Murray to secure the sum
of $500 90 which had been given the
defendant by the plaintiff to hold
as security against loss upon note
which MUIR ay endorsed for Thomp.
son. Shortly after this transaction
Thompson, who was then in business,
failed, and he supposed that Muir
ray had kept the $4,000 IN payment
of the note of like sum which he
had endorsed for Thompson. Five
years elapsed before the plaintiff
discovered that the note which Muir
ray had endorsed for him had been
paid out of the proceeds derived
from the sale of Thompson stock
of goods. Ga learning this fact
Thompson Immediately demanded
the $4,000 security money which
he had given Murray to hold.
Murray refused TO return the money
to him. A civil suit was the result.
At the trial at the last term of the
Jefferson Circuit Court, Murray's
attorney plead the statute of limita-
ton as bar TO the recovery of the
claim against his client However,
a jury of twelve men gave verdict
in favor of Thompson and awarded |
him the principal with interest.
A few days later, Judge John NJ.
before whom the case was
tried, arbitrarially set the verdict Of
the jury aside.
This morning, shortly before the
case was called, in conversation
with an attorney for the plaintiff,
Judge Elliott said that according to
his construction of the law, he
would be forced to set aside any
verdict that might be given in favor
of the plaintiff, whereupon Mr..
Thompsou's attorneys realized that
it would be useless to try the case
before him, hence a change of venue
was asked for and granted.
Z The case is ore OF considerable
interest and il will be watched by
the legal fraternity and our people |
generally.

LONDON. May II The correspond

rect.
The Berlin CORRESPONDENT OF the

A Turkish reconnaissance In force

view rendering the Greek positions
at Domokis untenable.
The correspondent OF the Times at

here because OF the absence of
