NEWS FROM THE COURTS
MORE SUITS FILED IN THE "wALTON
wHITECAPPING CAsE.o
Neighbors of the Senior Walton De-
mand Damages On the Charge of
Malicious Prosecution.

Another chapter has been added to what
is known i'm Justice OF the peace court
circles, as the walton white Gaping
case" Now. however, the litigation mas
reached the Superior Court and Is In the
nature of two actions for damages for
alleged malicious prosecution instituted
by Thomas Walton, ST., who, up to this
time has been the aggressor In the suits.
Walton's nephew lived on his farm and
refused to get off when ordered to do so
by the senior Walton. He then filed suit
for possession in the justice of the peace
court, but lost on the ground that the re-
Iation between him and his nephew was
that of master TO servant and not that of
landlord and tenant, and, therefore, was
out Of the jurisdiction of the court. Upon
this ruling, Walton had his nephew's goods
set out of the house on the ground that
the relation was that of master and serv-
ant. The junior Walton's neighbors then
collected and placed his furniture back in
the house, and in the meantime, the senior
Walton was aroused one night by a mob
that threatened him with violence. The
senior Walton then filed suit to GUST his
nephew. but was again beaten on the
ground that the relationship was that or
landlord and tenant and not that Of serv-
ant and master.
In the litigation several neighbors were
drawn into the fight, and afffdavits were
filed by the senior Walton against Austin
L.. Russell for surety of the peace, and
against William Barnhizer for malicious
trespaSS- The suit against BarnhiZer was
dismissed without trial and Russell was
acquitted. These men yesterday filed suits
against Walton, each demanding s., 600 dam
ages for alleged malicious prosecution.
