of Its Case an City Court.

For the second time the case of the
Phillip Carey Manufacturing Company
against John F. Gulmartin and others

ton such a verdict was returned in the
City Court yesterday afternoon.
Arguments were begun when court con-
vened at 10 o'clock, Mr.. G. W. owens
opening for the plaintiff, Mr.. W. l. Gignil-
lat following for j w. Conner and Floyd
& Co, Mr.. S. B. Adams speaking in be-
half of John F. Guilmartin and Mr.. owens
making the concluding argument for the
plaintiff. These arguments were on inc
lines previously indicated in the Morning
News as the respective positions OF the
plaintiff and the several defendants,
which were analysed, defined and eX-
planned at length.
Judge Norwood's charge was a lucid ex-
position of the mooted questions of law
and fact involved in the case, and a clear
statement of the matters that it was the
province of the jury TO determine. Tine
decision, of course, hinged upon the ques-
ton of the representations alleged 10 have
been made by Mr.. Guumartn 10 the mer-
camille agencies, credit having been ex-
tended him by the Carey company on the

made any statement upon which the
agency would be authorized to formulate
a report and rating such as the one given
him was denied vehemently by Mr.. Gull
martin, AMI he was Vtally. there ere.
interested that his side of This controver-
sy should be upheld by the verdict of the
jury
That 1t was in its entirety is matter
of cOngra tulation to him the verdict being
a complete vindication of his position in
the matter. 1t is as has been stated,
the second verdict that has been rendered
in favor of the defendants, a new trial
having been secured in the previous in
stance. The suit was for the possession
or the equivalent value of 430 yards of
patent roofing, said to be worth about
$500. which had been sold by the plaintiff
