NEW HAVEN MAN WINS RIG SHIT.

Judge William s. Case of the superior court has handed down an important decision sustaining the demurrer to the complaint of the case of the Cararra Paint Agency Co. of Cincinnati against Frank c. Bushnell of this city. The suit is to recover $2,2S5.60.
 The complaint sets out that the paint company forbore bringing suit against Bushnell December 12, 1903, to recover the amount stated in accordance with letter from MT. Bushnell. The latter according to the complaint, represented that he was the biggest part of the Diamond Paint company of Baltimore to which supplies had been furnished by the plaintiff.
 The latter annexed to his complaint letter from MT. Bushnell to the com plainant asking him to forebear bring ing suit against the Diamond concern and that he would make good" The court holds that this letter cannot be construed as contract, holding that it is simply a memorandum.

IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
THE SOCIALIST ORATORS CASE
 ENDED.

Judge Case Reserves Decision in CahIll
 Case-AttoFney Fitzgerald to Appeal
 -Non-SuppOrt Suit in Progress.
 The criinal side of the common pleas court sat all day yesterday on trial of Joseph Campbell, the socialist speaker who blocked the stret in Meriden while making a speech this fall. The trial be- gan late Wednesday afternoon and the verdict was rendered at p. III. yesterday. The jury was out from 2:45 p. n. till 4 p. m. He was found guilty on the first count, breach of the peace, but not guilty on the second count, violation of the city ordinance.
 This case was tried in Meriden and appealed. The defendant was the only witness for his side. His counsel, At torney Cornelius Danai3er of Meriden, contested every inch of the ground. The evidence of the defendant very likely produced in the minds of the jurymen his natural ability to be pertinent and fresh.
 Judge Ullman sentenced Campbell to pay fine of $5 and costs on the second count. The court granted stay of execution till o'clock to-day.
