DREssMAKER's BILL
A. . Cassidy's Attorney Says That Ac-
ton in Court for $975 Was Not
Necessary-Mrs. Cassidy Says
Check Was Lost.

From the ST. Louis Republic.
The suit against Abner G. Cassidy,
the stock dealer, who lives at the Lin
dell, and his wife, by the Parker sis
tiers, dreSsmakers, Of No. a West
Thlrty-elghth street, New York, for a
bill Of s975, contracted by Mrs. CASH
dy in the spring and fall Of 1900, was
dismissed yesterday, MI. Cassidy hay-
ing paid the bill.
Robert Nichols, attorney for Cas-
sidy, said yesterday that the suit was
unnecessary, as Mr.. Cassidy intended
paying the bill.
1.-THE first information Mr. Cassidy
had of the bill, ''said Mr.. Nichols, twas
on July G, when he received a letter
containing copy of the bill from H.
Chouteau Dyer, attorney for the Par
ker sisters. MI. Cassidy sent the let
ter to Pittsheld, Mass, where his
wife vas stopping, to see il the bill
was all right. Mrs. Cassidy, however,
had gone to Nashville, Tenn, where
her father was dying. She did not
get back to Pittsfield and answer
her husbands letter until July "a.
Mr.. Cassidy received her reply on Sat
day, July 81.
"Mrs Cassidy wrote that the bill
was all right. She had sent q check
for the bill, but the Parker sisters
claim they did not receive it, and no
check was returned to Mrs. Cassidy's
bank account.
ut was too late In the day when he
received his wife's letter to attend to
the matter, and he let II 20 over
until Monday. Monday he was very
busy and overlooked the bill, as was
also the case on Tuesday. Wednes-
day he was affected by the heat and
unable to attend TO it, and Thursday
the suit was filed.
To-day he vas able TO come to my
Office and be instructed me 10 pay the
bill, which l did, and resolved Mr..
Dyeris receipt, and he dismissed the
suit.
"Mr. Cassidy is much annoyed, es-
pecially on his wifeis account about
the matter. The only reason he did
not pay the bill at once was that he
wanted to be assured by his wife that
il was correct"
