interest for Che Year.
The whole session of the circuit
court Wednesday was occupied with
the hearing of the suit of Homer b.
Trees against Neal bros, which was
given its second hearing In this court.
This suit grew out OF the transactions
between the parties at the Bessemer
quarries, where Trees kept the COM
pany store. Certain orders, amounting
to about $3.50. had been issued on tina
store by Neal Bros, but when final
settlement was madethe latter refused
to pay the orders, claiming that the
father Of Mr.. Trees was indebted to
them for that amount. Mr.. Trees
claimed his father was not partner
In the business, and that the money
could not lawfully be withheld. Neal
Bros. refused payment, and the case
was brought TO the circuit court. The
first trial resulted in verdict in favor
OF Trees, but the court allowed a mo-
ton for a new trial on technicality.

The kopIins Cleared.
The case against the Koplins, mer-
chants of Harpers Ferry and Bruins
wick, who were Jointly indicted In the
circuit court year ago for false
swearing, was wiped on the docket
about 4:30 o'clock Friday afternoon,
when the jury returned to the court
room with verdict Of not guilty. Con-
trary to expectation, II did not take
the jury very long to reach verdict,
but little more than an hour elapsing
between the time the arguments were
concluded and the announcement OF
the verdict. The first ballot showed
IL for acquittal and one for convic-
ton, and the lone juror who believed
the defendants guilty was speedily
won over and the case ended.
The Koplins left the court room
free men, with the charge that had
been hanging over them for a year
wiped away after hard fight on the
part OF the attorneys, which was anx-
iously watched by the defendants. The
case attracted a great deal OF atten-
ton from the spectators also. and the
court room was crowded when the
trial was concluded.
