VERDICT FOR THE PLAIN TIFF

The memorable Pratt mines riot, which occurred five years ago. as the result of the big strike at that place, was recalled in the second division of the city court yes terday by the trial of a suit to recover attorneys fees for defending one of the alleged rioters.
 About one hundred and fifty persons were arrested on the charge of murder growing out of the trouble, and Messrs. B. M. Allen, J. J. Altman and John T. Shu- gart were engaged to defend them. It ap- pears that a committee composed Of the friends of the imprisoned men made the necessary arrangements with the attorneys which it is claimed was approved by all parties accused. After having secured their release some of the men refused to pay the fee, so it Is said, and suit was entered against them.
 The suit on trial yesterday was against c. W. Cain, a well-to-do negro, who was one of the accused. Cain claimed that he had made no arrangements with the attor- neys although-it was shown that his name was on a list furnished the attorneys, as well as a list of witnesses who would tes- tify in his behalf.
 After hearing the argument Judge Will kerson renedered his decision finding for the pl '~+'ffs
