A REMARKABLE CASE.

BOYDTON, VA, June 1.-SpectaL-A
case involving sl00 has created great inter-
est in this community this week before the
Circuit Court. as il is one peculiar and
puzzlins. It is this: Some eighteen
months since, w. 0. CrItchtield, living
near La Cross, handed I. S. Nontgotnery
SlO0 and requested him TO place it In the
bank of Williams & Goode, OF this place,
to his tCrutchtield's) credit.
On NIontgonery's return home from
Boydton he handed Crutchfield a slip of
paper. saying, here is your receipt.
Crutchfield placed the paper in mis- vest
pocket, he says. without looking at IT. y
short time thereafter. Crutchfleid in nav
ing a bank statement sent MIN from the
bank, found he was not credited with TINS
amount He examined for his receipt. and
found the slip was lost. He made enquiry
of Montg o,nery about the money, and the
latter asserted positively that the money
was placed in the bank
Messrs Williams & Goode say there was
no money left with them on that day by
Montgomery, according to the entries on
their books. and say that the cash ball
anced by five cents that day. Montgomery
takes the ground that Crutchtieid has by
careessness destroyed the only evidence
he had OF the money having been placed
in bank, and that ne ought not to suffer
any loss in consequence OF il
No one is charged with improper con-
duct but say some mistake has occurred
and the trouble is to find out who has
made 1t. The jury stood ten for the de-
PENDANT to two for the plaintiff.
The plaintiff is represented by the firm
of Thorp Sc. Baskerville. and the defend
ant by Robert Turrbuli, ESD, of Bruins
