Mr.. HAYES
ASKED FOR
DELAY
Wanted Examination Of Sarah
c. Northup Before Trial Of
Her Damage Case Proceeded

The case Of Sarah c. Northup against
the Rhode Island company was on trial
this morning before Judge Johnson and
jury for the assessment OF damages.
Mrs. Northup was riding on an Elm
wood car August ]. 1902 and owing TO a
collision between that and another car
at Summer street was knocked from her
scat TO the hard pavement.
She was injured badly she claims and
the position into which she was thrown
caused her clothing TO be disarranged i'm
such a manner as TO cause her much NOR
tification and grief
During the recital OF the manner I'm
which the accident occurred, Henry w

took exception 10 the manner In which w.
B. w. Hallet, the counsel for the plain
tiff was going into details and after they
were noted the recital was resumed.
Mr.. Hayes asked for delay I'm the ca
before IT was put before the Jury in or
der that they might have an examination
OF the plaintiffs condition.
Mr.. Hallet objected TO the delay as the
case had been long enough and the de-
fendant had opportunities to conduct an
examination. The court decided to go on
with the case and strangely enough a
jury was secured without objection from
any one.
The woman was examined by an expert
summoned by the defendants and the case
is still pending.
