The argument In the case or Anne
Devinny against M. II. Dougherty has
been filed in the supreme court. TIE
suit is to recover damages and tie
support of their child porn out of wee-
lock. The case Is from Aliamake-e
county. ard the child was born Jure
"a. 1902 The defendant enters GER
eral denial and the attorney in makir g
his argument claims that in such cases
the Jury lis aeyays sympathetic and is
easily led away. The argument states
that there is great deal of mystery
attached to the case, and the Testimony
OF the complaining witness is quoted
as saying she was led into the trouble
''because she didn't think he would 10
away and leave her the way he die" !"
This 1t is claimed is the sole basis for
the damage suit and the defendant de-
clares that he Is entirely innocent. Err
rors in the admission Of testimony are
also relied on for reversal In the sl-
preme court.
The city Of Dubuque has appealed
fyom the decision of the district court
OF that county in giving a verdict to
Mrs. Florence Farrell who was injrir-
ed by being struck on the head with a
scantling while she was passing under
some of the decorations that were
erected for the carnival held there In
October, 1902. It seems there was a
heavy wind and one end Of the scalat-
ling became loosened. AS she pasted
under It, pushing baby buggy, 1t fell
and the sight of one eye was partly de-
stroyed.
