Thornton on the Stand.

Mr.. Thornton was the first witness
called after jury had been secured.
He spent upwards of an hour and a
half in reading from an inventory 4
list of the books and household effects
| which were destroyed by fire, together
with the value of each. He had a most
extensive library, the total valuation
of the books contained in it being fixed
by him at nearly $4,000.
He described in detail the events
leading up to the fire. explaining that
after his goods had been moved he
went back to his old house to remain
over night. He said he knew nothing
whatever of the fire until aroused by a
newspaper reporter and told that the
dwelling in Kingston had been burned.
He detailed at length the efforts which
he made to have his claims settled by
the insurance companies. He said that
the property recovered from the burned
house was taken in charge by the
WilkeSBa representative of the in
surance companies and stored away.
He later obtained possession of it, but
found that it was unfit for use. He
at one time offered to settle his clam
for $4,000 if he would have been assured
his money within sixty days.
Attorney Lenahan began the cross
examination and it was still under way
when court adjourned until this morn
ing. When asked to explain how he
came to have such carefully prepared
list of all the books destroyed by the
fire he said that he desired to be able
to tell in Il moment if he had any par
ticular book which he might desire to
consult without rummaging through
the shelves and that he desired to keep
an accurate record of their cost.
A transcript of certain questions
asked him and the answers he made
in Attorney Lenahans office was Of
fered in evidence. Each page was
signed by Thornton, but he denied yes
terday having made certain of the an
swers recorded as having been made
by him. These were in reference to
the inventory of the books and personal
property. He said that Attorney Lena
han had given him only an hour to
look over the transcribed copy and
that he had no time to examine it
carefully.

The re-trial of the case of =. M
| Thornton, of Wilkes Barre, against the
Security Insurance company, of New
Haven, Conn, and the National Assur-
| ance company, of Ireland, was begun
yesterday morning in the United States
| district court, and will probably con-
tinue all next week and perhaps long
er. In view of the probable great
length of the trial Judge Archibald de-
cided to continue all other cases and
discharged the remaining petit jurors
with thanks.
Thornton is a lawyer, practicing in
Wilkes Barre, and he is suing to re-
cover $4,000 from the two insurance
companies for damage done his house
hold effects and books, which he had
insured with both of the defendant
| companies. On the day his insurance
took effect he moved his things from
WilkesBarre to 81 house in Kingston,
which he had rented. This latter place
was burned on that night and his
property was almost totally destroyed.
The companies refused to pay the
amount of the claims made by Thorn
ton, and he brought suit to recover.
The case was tried last spring in this
city before Judge Archibald, and the
defense put up was that the fire was
of incendary origin. The jury refused
to believe this and awarded the plain
tiff verdict in the sum of $3,S00. A
motion for new trial was made on
the ground that the defendant should
have separated the damaged and un"
damaged personal property as required
by the terms of the policy. Judge
Archibald heard arguments and decided
to grant a new trial.
The plaintiff is represented by At
torney John McGahren, Of Wilkes
Barre, and former Judge e. N. Will
lard, of this city, while Attorney John
II. Lenahan. of Wilkes-Barre, and At
torney NJ. j. Martin, of this city, ap-
pear for the defendant companies.

The perfect weather Of the past week has
made the summer life of Spring Lake un-

parties being organized and trips to Point
Pleasant, Bay Head and even to Pleasure
Bay and the Rumson road have been en-
loved by the cottagers and hotel visitors.
