Money, bul Col Nothing In Return.

A jury was empannelled in Judge

David Il. Goff against Sheriff Philo Il.

the purchaser of the Marine Machine
and Conyeyer cOmpany's property when
the same was sold on an execution on
judgment obtained by the Warren
Foundry and Machine company for the
sum of $4,000. He claimed that though
complied with all the regulations of
the sale and paid the money he never
received the property.
Judge Wilbur after the opening state
ment OF the plaintiffs counsel, f.. >
Hopkins. asked counsel for High Sheriff
Cady what the pleas We're and John
II. Conley said they were the general
issue and the pending OF another suit.
Mr.. Conley also said there was an
agreement entered into between Mr..
Goff and the plaintiff il. the suit on
which the execution was taken out pre-.
vious to the sale that If the property

not amount to anything as there was

"Cuba, during the last few months,
