WINS BOTH CASES
Mrs. Thompson Was Plaintiff
In One and Defendant in Other

Judge Douglas today handed down his
decisions in the jury-trial-w waived cases
Of Mary Thompson VS. William A Stone
and William A. Stone KS. Mary Thomp-
son. These cases were interesting and

first case for SPOIL SO and costs and in the
second case for Mrs. Thompson without

Mrs. Thompson sued to recover for ser

She sued for her wages from August.
1881 TO January, 1895. She further charged
that Mr.. Stone collected rents belonging
TO her to the amount of $50.
The defendant claimed that when
the plaintiff came to his house
she agreed TO become memoer
Of his family To convey 10 him and ms
wife all her property actual or to he ac-
ouired and 20 do such work there as she
should be able 10 do in consideration
that he would support her during her NE
time.
Mr.. Stone claimed that part of this
agreement was I'm writing in the form or
a deed OF her property to him. Judge
Douglas does not think the evidence IN
support of the making OF this deed con-
Nincing.
fact that on September %, 1893, the de-
fendant gave the plaintiff his note for
$3.50 and says this transaction contradicts
the statement that she had agreed to
convey him all property she might ac-
auire THE agreement, saws his honor,
'as stated by the defendant Is In itself
unconscionable In effect n made the
