The parade will be followed by picnic

The feature of the evening will be the

We. the jury. find for the plaintiff.
and ascertain the damages to be STA.
tSigned) 'B. B. WILKINS,
Foreman"
This was the verdict rendered by the
jury in the suit of Walter c. Eastman's
administrator against F. F. and Martha
A. Finch to recover damages for the
death of Walter G. Eastman, who died
from injuries received when a scaffold
collapsed at the Finch. building on
washington avenue on December s.
1896, precipitating Mr. Eastman and
Mr.. George w. Crafford, bricklayers,
to the ground, a distance of forty
feet.
For thirteen days this case was I'M
der consideration in the Corporation
Cort Judge ]. T. Barham sitting. The
plaintiff was ably represented by Mr..
Robert G. Bickford and Colonel Rich
ard f. Boykin, while the interest of the
defense was carefully guarded by ex-
City Attorney c. v. Meredith, Of Rich
mond, and Mr.. A. C. Garrett of this
city.
Tuesday afternoon the case was Civ
en- to the jury after Mr.. Bickford
closed the argument for the plaintiff,
but no agreement was reached The
jurors returned to their room yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock when coury con-
vened and de!iberated till 1890 o'clock.
Al that hour rap signal!ed that the
jury was ready to make a report. which
would be q verdict or the announce
ment that it would be Impossible for
the Jurors to agree. The jurors filed
into their seats While Foreman B. E..
Wilkins handed the verdict to Clerk D.
G. Smith. There was a death-like still
ness until Clerk Smith read the find
ing OF the jury. and then followed a
wagging.
The suit was for $4,000. and it SEEM
ed singular that the jury should rem
der verdict for an odd amount, but
this was explained later. The amount
fixed was to cover doctors bill and
funeral expenses caused by the acct
dent.
When the first ballot was taken In
the jury room Monday afternoon the
jurors were wide apart. One man. it
is said. voted to award the plaintiff
$1,000. two stood for $500. three for nom
inal damages and six for rendering a
verdict for the defense. From that
time on the jurors .see- sawed" On
one of the ballots taken yesterday NOR
nfng four votes were cast for one cent
damages. one. for $500, two for STA,
and the other six for no damages at
all. Later on ten men voted to award
the plaintiff one cent, but the other
two held out for the funeral expenses.
A verdict was then soon reached, the
ten going over to the two.
After the verdict was reached coun-
sci for the plaintiff moved the court to
set the verdict aside on the ground
that it was contrary to the law and ev-
idence. The time for hearing argu-
ment on the motion was not fixed, but
it is probable that it will not be heard
before the September term.
The verdict throws the costs on the
defendants, and to that extent is a
victory for the plaintiff.
