PETITION FOR A JURY TRIAL

The appellate division OF the supreme
court has granted defendants petition for
jury trial in the case OF Mary Allworth,
p. A, VS.. Interstate Consolidated Railway
company. In this case no claim for a
jury was made by the defendant and
the only claim made by the plaintiff for
such trial was the placing OF the same
on the copy OF the declaration left in the
court for defendants.
The case was certified 10 the appellate
division, as in the papers there was not
the necessary claim made for jury trial
Plaintiff was satisfied, but defendant was
not
in an opinion handed down today the
court says: We are OF the opinion tha [

tin duly elected n trial by jury and must
be bound by his election. The defendant
was not bound 10 repeat claim already
once seasonably made. Indeed. such an
act b. the defendant would have been

claim by the plaintiff against the de-
PENDANTS objection. and after the plain

thereon until the time has expired within
which jury trial might have been

INJUNCTION
DENIED
BY COURT

/. CHIEF Justice Douglas and Justices Du'
hois and Blodsett today heard and denied
the petition OF the Lonslale company and
ether manufacturers along the Black
stone Valley for an injunction 10 prevent
the taking OF the waters Of Crook Fail
Brook by the city of Woonsocket. A de-
ee was prepared for an injunction and
left with the court during one OF the
many hearings on the controversy held
over 6 year ago.
The manufacturers have been offered
$4,000 by the city of woonsocket, bat they
want $4,000 for damages they claim to
have suffered by reason OF the taking 20
tie water OF the brook. II has all along
been claimed by tho city OF woonsocket
that to grant the injunction would work
great hardship as the city would be de-
prived OF water for sanitary purposes
and fire protection.
a year ago the city OF woonsocket got
an act passed by the General Assembly
siying II power TO condemn the waters of
tic brook. To-day Mr.. Hayes OF counsel
for the manufacturers declared this act
To D. VICIOUS inehfNIe. L nueT ~ ln8
manufacturers fled in court their claims
fer Jury trial
Walter F.. Angel, who Is associated
v!ih Mr.. Hayes claimed the act was un-
constitutional and that the city never had
any right not even under the special act
20 take the waters or the brook. The
court. however, said that the parties
must be left 10 their rights under the
special act that so far as the appellate
division was concerned the act was con-
stitutional and that parties might have
q hearing before the fun supreme court

STARVATION
OR DISEASE
THE CAUSE

Pennington, Me, April l7.-Coronor
Fred p. Adams OF this town and Dr. Z.
J.. Pennon OF KinGheid. according to in
formation received today from the latter
as they passed through Blgelow on their
return from tho scene Of the supposed
murder OF Joseph Bolger. the ST. Frances,
+. O. river driver. whose body was
found in a deserted camp at Chain OF
Ponds, decided that Bolger undoubtedly
died from natural causes. They were
certain he died either from starvation or
disease.
Because he had been missing since De-
ccmber when he was paid $500 and tho
body was bruised and the clothing torn
from the back, IL was believed he had
beer murdered Dr, Pennell said the body
was rigid indicating severe suffering and
that the bruises on the face and neck
were the work OF mice
Rolger vas last seen alive at Christmas
when he left Chain OF Ponds farm on his
way from st. Frances TO the logging
cHmps AT kihby. and Is supposed to have
been dead since shCrtly after that time.
Or Pennell said there was nothing IN
the appearance OF the camp TO denote
foul play. The body will be sent TO St.
Frances.
