MR.. DOTY'S ARREST.
Figured Prominently In a Case Be-
fore Appellate Division.
1t Is Claimed he Was Not a Member OF the
Strong Company.

The frst jury trial waived case heard In
Appellate Court today was that of A. II.
McCriIiis e. Go. VS. M. Strong u Co. Of
Malone. N. Y. Ihe plaintiffs claim
they purchased hay OF the defendants. and
the hay delivered was not Of the grade
desired. whereupon they brought suit
against the defendants to recover about
$40. The main point In the controversy
before the court today was whether one
s. q. Doty was member Of the nrm Of
Strong a. Co. or not.
r. 9. Doty onme to this oity some time
60. and n writ of arrest was issued. and
he was detained until ne got bail bscauso
1t was claimed he was q member OF the
defe ndant company. In the nfiidavit filed
by the defendants the statement was
made that Mr.. Doty was not at the time
OF his arrest nor ever had been. . mem
ber Of the ID. III. Strong COMPANY. Mr..
Doty himself testified ct chs time the
com pany was formed he was insoivsnt.
Counsel In the case agreed today that
the question Of whether Mr.. Doty WAS =
member of the defendant company should
be first passed upon. Judge Rogers heard
the Testimony of parties on behalf Of the
ulaintifYs to the effect that they had
been told By Mr.. Doty he WAS member
of the firm. On behalf Of the defsndanto
numrer of dispositions were read TO
show that Mr.. Doty was not memcor Of
the defendant company.

Boston. April 1s.-Delegates who at

Labor union gave a hearing to a delega-
tion from the Walters alliance. which
alleged that the Democratic state COM
mittee neglected to engage union walters
for the Bryan banquet Saturday. Harry
Lloyd. a delegate and also member OF
the committee. explained how non-union
walters were employed. and asked that
he be allowed to adjust matters. Rep
resentative r.. w. Garrity made a strong
speech against the leaders OF the Demo-
cratic party and scored Mayor Quincy
and other prominent Democrats, claim
ing that they had been Indifferent to the
demands OF organized labor. A motion
to censure the committee was passed.
The sending OF the state police to New

a fighting chance Of defeating the manu-

and with one resounding whack of his

It was an impressive scene as the mem

The House adjourned for the reason
that no message could be received from

side indication of bitter and determined

After the adjournment the Republican
leaders who had mapped out the program
OF rejecting the clause Of the Senate reso I
lutions providing for the recognition Of
the present republic, continued laboring
with thoss of their colleagues who still
otstinately refused to aoquiesce.
The opposition on the Republican side,
though small, was resoluts. The juno
ture Of this band Of insurgents, as
they-were oallsd, with the Democrats,
for the acceptance Of the Senate resolu-
tions, might defeat the program. The
Republican leaders, however. couadsntiy

Whether or not jury In Judge: Roger 8
court erred In awarding sarah uough-
ton. admiilistratrix ON tie estates OF
her husband. William Houghton. yer>
dict for $1,000 against the Corliss steam
Engine Company was the question before
the Appellate Court this morning. Will
liam HouRhton was In the employ of the
defendants corporation and his adminsta-
killed by. slectricity used on q certain
crane. which was nesliaenlty operated
and controlled by the defendant Mr..
HouRhton had hold OF hauling chain
when ne received the shock from the
effect Of which he died.
Ihe defendants counsel today raised
the points and argued thereon at length
that the accident to William Hougnton
was not due TO the negligence OF the de-
fendant; that the proximate cause Of the
accident was the negligence Of said Will
lam HouRhton: that toe current OF cleo
tricity which caused the death OF said
wilitm Houghton was far in excess OF
that contracted for by said defendant or
which IL had reasonable cause TO expect
would be furnished to faid crane, and
that 10 must necessarily have come from
the crossing Of wires outside OF the
premises OF said defendant and belonging
TO the Narragansett Electric Lighting
Company; that the verdict was against
the law and the evidence; that tho court
erred in its rulings upon the admission
or testimony and in its ruling upon tne
requests 70 charge made by the
defendant In not granting the same.
There was considerable trouble ABOUT
the crane on the afternoon houghton was
killed. A man named Moran received a
severe shock about 30 minute before the
accident that resulted fatally. just after
the first accident rope was tied 70 the
hauling chain and there was an order
given to uss the rope instead OF the chain.
but on behalf OF Houghton it was
claimed, at the trial before jury, that
but used the chain as the most expedi-
tious way OF doing his work and aeatn
resulted.
Today counsel for the defendant corpor-
alton aIgued tnat tie purpose of the rope
was evident to the Gullest workman aud
st was not necessary but supert tiuous to
give tho order to use the rope and the
defendant took the proper means To pre-
vent o second shock and tine proximate
cause Of tee accident was the negligence
of Mr.. Houghton.
Against the granting OF thes petition
for new trial 1t was aruged tnat the
verdict was fully justified py the evidence
In tho case and tpat there was no error
on the part OF the court The case was

rounded by q crowd of his col y iRues and
why he could not be justified in joining

But, headed by Messrs. Lorimer and
