tistics has received requests from a

hours that trainmen can be allowed

perform that work.
A law compelling adequate tenders

terday afternoon on the wit
ness stand, and made admissions
that were damaging to the case. 1t
| Is believed that she felt that she
would be asked other embarrassing
questions today that she could not
answer without prejudice to her
cause, and that she preferred to
sham an illness that was not real. 1t
is generally believed that the case
will never come to trial.
All of the events in this matter
tend to show that it is useful for a
lawyer and jurist to add complete
knowledge of obstetrics to his equip
ment on medical Jurisprudence.
Motion to Vacate Order.
The upperle-Thurman damage
case is full of surprises. After the
stork took his departure this morn
ing, without accomplishing anything,
afiidavits were prepared, and, on the
convening of court this afternoon,
John A. Carson moved that the jour
nal postponing the trial until the
next term of court be not signed, and
that the order allowing a new trial
be VACATED. Mr.. Carson said he did
not desire to make charges, but that
the court had been grossly deceived
regarding the condition of the Thur
man girl. He supported the motion
by an adffiavit signed by H. ]. Big
ger, who saw the girl walk to the de-
pot and wheel her grandmother in
an invalid chair, just an hour after
her physician said she was in confine-
ment.
A. M. Cannon submitted a motion
that DR.. Hawk be held in contempt
of court for falsely representing the
girls condition, and said that he had
a telephone message from Jefferson
that the girl got off the train there,
and walked home unassisted, and
carried heavy valise.
It is probable that the arguments
of counsel on the motions will be
made this afternoon.
Carson & Cannon designate the ac-
tion of the plaintiff in this matter as
being a desperate attempt to secure
a continuation of the case, and to
keep the girl from being cross-exam-
ined.

DRAMATIC
ENDING
Of TRIAL
A Girl Suing for Reputation
Gives Tangible Evidence
of Her Own Guilt

There was a hiatus in the circuit
court this morning. Court continued
the damage suit of Mrs. Lucy Ander-
son against Earl Aupperle, because
of the sudden confinement of Vale
tha Thurman, the plaintiffs grand
daughter. Miss Thurman is at a
private residence on High street,
and the advent into this vale of sin,
sorrow and shame of the tangible ev-
idence of her love affair is hourly ex-
pected.
Mrs. Anderson, who is the girls
guardian, as we'll as her grandmoth-
er, brought suit against Aupperle for
$40, 900 damages, alleged to be due
on account of the loss of the girls
reputation, the loss of her work at
home, and the care incident on
her condition.
The defendant denies every allie
cation in the complaint and sets up
the additional defense that the girl
was not wholly discreet, anyway.
Mrs. Anderson is represented by
John ]. jeffrey and Charles E. Len
non, and the. defendant has for coun-
sci Weatherford & Wyatt. of AL
bany, and Carson & Cannon. of this
city. The trial was begun yesterday,
and Mrs. Anderson gave her testi-
mony. The Thurman girl went on
the stand and gave her direct testi-
mony last night, but the cross-exam-
ination was not concluded when
court adjourned.
Then the climax came. Miss
Thurman got sick, and the stork has
been lowering oyer her boarding
house ever since.
In court this morning, when the
situation became known, Judge Bur-
nett suggested that the records show
that Miss Thurman became confined
while in the midst of cross-examina-
tion, and that the jury be discharged
and new trial ordered for the next
term of court. This order was made
and the jury discharged.
The evidence so far does not re-
fleet much credit on the character of
the girl. Her grandmother said that
she had often contemplated sending
her to the Boys and Girls home, or
some such institution for her way
wardness, and the girl admitted
things that are not usually permis-
sable in polite society.
A local character. who is we'll ac-
quainted with all the parties TO the
suit, has diagnosed the case in this
way. 1t is said that another young
man at Jefferson is vitally interested
in the affair. and that his father in
terested himself in getting a compe-
tent attorney, who is specialist in
this kind of litigation.
All this would be quite a thrilling
and sensational story, If the program
had been carried out faithfully. But
it was not. The stork stretched out
his white wings and few to Jeffer-
son. Miss Thurman also went to
Jefferson on the IL o'clock train. Her
accompanied her. All
the witnesses and the defendant, and
his father and friends also went.
Jefferson, from this time on, will be
the stage of action. DR.. Hawk, who
cuts quite an important figure in the
matter, also went to Jefferson.
DR.. Hawk sat up all night with the
Thurman girl, and predicted the
coming OF the stork this afternoon.
or course this event may be delayed,
but it is only a question OF hours.
