Amount in Slander Case.

Judge Rueckert had to decide In the
Civil Division of tho District Court q
rather close slander case and to settle
whether Mrs. Catherine Reynolds casual
remarks entitled one Bernard Hughes to

Hughes was In the employ of man
name Budy, who keeps moving teams.
Mrs Reynolds engaged one of the teams
in charge OF Hughes and among her goods
were two good vlolins, she being con-
siderable of q conroisseur In musical in
strumepts.
Just after she got settled in her now
home Hughes claims Mrs. Reynolds made
big fuss In which he was somewhat or
thought he was somewhat Interested, so
he went TO Interview her. She, Hughes
claimed. called him I'm the presence of
several other persons a thief ana said ho
took the violins.
Mrs. Reynolds denied that she used any
words other than that Reynolds took
them, meaning the violins. as he had to
do to put the case containing them into
the van and that while Mrs. Reynolds dis
play Of a knowledge of the worth of the
Instruments made her n bit suspicious,
she made no one the wiser on that ao-
count. further claim inado by Mrs.
Reynolds was that when Hughes called
on her he SD far forgot the respect due to
a lady as TO call her liar.
Judge Rueckert gave the plaintiff q
decision for 81.

A LACK OF AUTHORITY.

The body was exposed on the pavement.
and as usual there was lack of authority
and no one TO do the tight thing at the
right timo.
Some one telephoned the hospital for
an ambulance, which was absurd, as the
man was dead.
The ambulance came and the man in
charge refused 60 have anything To do
with the case That wasted half an hour
and it had begun To rain.
Then the dead wagon was sent over
from tho Central police station and the
body was taken to the moreue, where IL
was examined by Medical Examiner
Perkins
The body was identified shortly after
ward by Jeremiah keliher Of Enst Prov
idence, brother-in-law of the victim.
This morning the body was placed in
charge OF Undertaken Monahan.
Devine had been living with Mr..
kelliber I'm Enst Providence for the last
four months and was employed at Hop

GIVE KILLED A MAN"

The motorman did his best and when
he realized that that was not enough he
remarked. "I've killed man." and
then temporarily gave away TO ths horror
of the situation.
Devine's body was rolled over and over
and carried q distance Of dozen feet
before the car could be stopped, leaving
trail of blood on tho rail. The wheel
did not touch him, but the iron work
beneath the car fractured his skull. broke
his neck and his chest was crushed in.
A crowd quickly gathered and the
police were notified. Officers Luby
Streeter and Munroe responded and had
difficulty I'm keeping back the mob and
clearing the north bound track for pass

out some of the difficulties.
Tho charges made In the journal cor

mated that it would be much easier to
