HAS new TRIAL. WERE BAPTIZED.
Court Says That vsIdlct Is
Against the Evidence.


The American Electrical Works is
granted new trial by the appellate d.
vision OF the supreme court In the suit
brought by John It. Hedge, Jr.
Plaintiff was manager OF the company's
store at an agreed salary. with the un-
derstanding that q postoffce should be
established there and that he would be
appointed postmaster. which would help
him out. He was appointed postmaster
and his salary was fixed at IS a week.
The question was whether this raise
was under an agreement that IL was
given instead of commissions. plaintiff. as
postmaster. would be entitled to. A jury
gave a verdict for the plaintiff for ssse.67.
In the rescript handed down the court
says: "The circumstances of the case.
the conduct of the plaintiff in apparently
acquiescinE In the arrangement made,
and his acceptance of increased salary
without making any claim TO the commits
sion during his term OF service. is quite
inconsistent with his present demand.
"But in addition TO this is the testimony
the arrangement was made, but that he
did not like It. Some OF this testimony is
not contradicted. We therefore think
that the verdict was clearly against the
evidence"

The plaintiffs got possession OF the cer-
