COURT CRITICISES BLAIR.
AGED ELLEN DUFF. WHO GAVE HIM 5000.
GRANTED NEW TRIAL.


In a decision of the Appellate Division Of tho
Supreme Court, written by Justice Mclaughlin
and concurred in by all the Justices George Blair.
ex-Supertntendent of the outdoor POOR. was Sc
verely criticised.
The decision the result OF a suit brought
against Mr. Blair by Ellen Duff. woman over
seventy years of age, for accounting Of a sum
of nearly 200 which belonged 10 her, and which
she surrendered to the possession Of Mr.. Blair.
1t is alleged. according TO the evidence that
Ellen Duff March T. 1900, applied to city lodg-
ing house for a nights lodging She was received,
and while there 1t found that she had several
bank books representing deposits of practically
5000 1t is alleged that Blair induced her to sign
an irrevocabe power OF attorney, giving him the
management OF her affairs. The old woman
brought suit for accounting against Mr. Blair
and the case was brought before Justice o OGorman
After hearing of the evidence Justice O'Gor-
man dismissed the complaint, on the ground that
the complaint states cause of action eX delicto
and it cannot be converted into one ex contractu"
In beginning the opinion of the Appellate Divi-
sion Justice Mclaughlin says, in part:
It makes little difference what the cause Of , action
the redress of a wrong never depends upon names.
TO the substance rather than to the form OF an
action. The fact is that the complaint here al
Iished that the defendant has in his possession
moneys which belong to the plaintiff, III, and TINS Se er
and pay over the same to her on demand, and
there is alegauon IN IAe answer oI III tIt PROOF
on the trial which justified defendants action in
has right to be informed what has become of It,
and the defendant could not under the law refuse
10 tell her. 1t would be a sad commentary upon
the administration OF justice II this plaintiff, upon
the allegations Of her eompai9t al Of Of Which were
from the defendant accounting.
The Judgment appealed from. therefore, must be
reversed and a new trial ordered with costs to the
appellant to abide the event
Ellen Duff, it was developed during the trial,
had saved the money from many years earnings

MRS. LATIMER NAMES MEN
SHE TELLS OF TWO WHO RESEMBLE
THE ONE WHO SHOT HER HUSBAND.
THE WOUNDED MAN GROWING
WEAKER.

Theories as to who shot Albert c. Lat!mer
and TO how he shot were springng up
on all sides in Brooklyn yesterday. Captain
Buchanan, of the Gates-ave. station; Captain
Reynolds Of the Detective Bureau, and In
spector Brennan all said last night that they
had theories upon which they were working.
but that nothing new or important had devel-
oped during the day
Neither Mr. nor NJ S. Latimer. both OF whom
are in st. Mary's Hospital, made any additional
statements yesterday to the police. If they
said anything TO Mr. Latimer's brothers, who
are keeping constant watch over the husband
and wife, what said carefully kept
from anybody who might make 1t public.
G. Byron Latimer was indignant yesterday
when he read the stories that the wounded man
had declared that he had no struggle with
burglar, and had been shot in bed and not in
front of the closet He denied that Mr.. Lati-
mer had made any statement, and declared that
anything that might have been said was said in
delirium- Nevertheless. MI I4atimer allowed
himself to say that he thought his brother was
talking too much. He referred to Harry c.
Latiner. who. Captain Buchanan says, told hirn
of the statement made in ST. Mary's Hospital
The police are looking for two men whom
Mrs. Latimer mentioned by name to a friend
resembling the man who did the shooting. They
do not expect 10 learn anything of value, but
following every possible cew in their ef
forts 10 solve one Of the most tangled mysteries
that the Brooklyn police have had to deal with
In some time
DR.. Morrison declares that he is willing 10
have both Mr. LatiIner and his wife make
complete statement to the police as soon as
their condition warrants it: but far he has
positively refused 10 allow them TO talk. The
police have a man at the hospital all the time
ready TO take statement the instant the doc
tor gives the word Just al present everything
connected with the case is in tangle, but the
police hope that eventually they will get at the
bottom Of the mystery, Mr.. Latimer's condi-
tion said 10 be about the last night.
he Is growing weaker, however, and is delirious
most Of the time II is said that during his
heIir1um he talks most Of the time OF the shoot
ing, but what he says cannot be learned. 1t is
said that the patient has twice written messages
TO his brother a piece Of paper. Once he
wrote, according to the story: "I want all mine
10 go 10 my children
The other message was: 81 am not going to
die yet: am just going tn fool them"

Stock Raising.

Prof. Hutchinson, Director OF
the Mississippi Experiment Sta
tion, says after years work ne can
no. positively say that any branch
OF live stock farming in Missis-
sippi is profitable except sheep.
He says the Station sheep have
paid good profits right along,
from Year to year, while beef
cattle have appeared to pay at
times, but were Improbable at
other times. We too see the Sta
tion adds pork raising to its other
lines of useful work, believing
this branch relatively more i'm
portant and interesting to more
people than any other branch oil
live stock farming. - Southern
Farm Gazette.
We have often seen it stated
that the large beef breeds of cat
tie could not be raised prohtab,y
south of the Ohio river. The
pastures are not nutritive enough
and the winter care costs too
much in the absence of the rich
hay grasses we cannot grow
This opinion of Prof. Hutchinson
is born out by aclual practical
experience. The only way to get
a profit from cattle here is 70
cross some fine breed upon native
stock and raise what we can upon
our natural pastures and have
"A few to sell every year as an
adjunct to mixed farming. The
small farmer must grow little of
everything possible to sell. We
think. and always have, with the
Professor that sheep and hogs
bring quicker and greater re-
turns than cattle, especially hogs
where one is prepared for them
by fences and patches for graz
ing.
