HEAVY DAMAGES CLAIMED.
James c. Sprigg. Jr., Brings Suit for
RIOD.DNO

Suit at law TO recover damages in the
sum of 100000 for alleged SANDER was
filed late yesterday afternoon by James G.
Sprigg jr, through Attorneys A. A. Lips
comb and r. r. Beall. against Daniel s.
Evans and Alfred ]. Whitton. The con-
tention of the plaintiff is that the defend
ants wrote a letter to Mr.. z. E. Duryea OF
New York city, containing statements or
a slanderous nature. affecting the plaintiff
and tending TO injure his character and
reputation as an honest and law-abiding
citizen
Mr. Sprigg is a son-in-law of Mr.. Duryea-
In June 1893, he succeeded his father,
James c. Sprigg. ST.. in the management OF
the estate of the late James o. Evans.
He withdrew from the management last
November and was succeeded by Alfred j.
Whitton. The latter. so it is stated, an
nounced that he found certain discrepan-
cies in the accounts. This was followed by
q chain of incidents that eliminated in the
alleged writing of the slanderous letter,
by reason of which. says Mr.. Sprigg. he
has been greatly injured and his integrity
assailed without warrant.
Sprigg recently instituted suit In equity
against Evans and Whitton, asking the
court to direct an accounting and the re-
turn of certain property which. he says,
he placed in the hands OF his former en-
ployer TO cover any shortage which might
have All iSen from any cause.
