DADY BEATEN IN havana SUIT.
Court Finds DE W.ckOn Not Guilty OF
Enibexylink SlO,ONp.
Special Gable Despatch TO THR Sun.

Special Gable Despatch 10 THR Sun,
HAVANA, Aug. 28.The court to-day
acquitted Joseph d. De Wyckof, who was
charged by Col. Michael j. Dady. the we'll
known contractor, with embezzling $4,000
from him. The court found that De
Wyckoff represented Col. Dady in number
of matters, such as the contracts for sewer
ing Havana and Santiago. De Wyckoff
sent TO Col. Dady an account for $4,000
for services, and refused to refund the
$4,000 which Col. Dady had intrusted to
him in connection with the Cienfuegos
waterworks contract until Col. Dady
settled the account.
De Wyckofr performed many services
for Col. Dady from 1899. He had received
other sums of money from Col Dady be-
sides the $40 600, and had made payments
for him, for which no settlement had been
made. 1t was impossible. in view of the
defendants financial relations with Col
Dady, iudicially to consider that De WyckoF
had misappropriated the money in suit.
De Wyckofr never denied having received
the money, and his account with Dady
had never been settled. Therefore it was
impossible for the court to say that Col.
Dady had been injured. the defendant
having retained the money to obtain
settlement from Col. Dady.
De Wyckoff has brought a civil suit
against Col. Dady to recover $50 COO. Senior
Bernal, De Wyckoff's lawyer also has
sued Col, Dady to recover S. 900 for legal
services.
Col Dady has gone to Cardenas. His
representatives here say that he will appeal
