WILL GO AGAIN
TO SUPREME
COURT
Ruppe Case to Be Appealed
Before Highest Terri
tOridl Tribunal.

Although the Di Palma and Ruppe-
Weinman and Barnett litigation has
been before the supreme court once
and by that august body remanded TO
the court of original Jurisdiction for
new trial, which resulted in jury
verdict of $4,000 for the plaintiff, the
end of 1t is not yet. 1t was learned
this morning that the defendants will
take an appeal to the supreme court
from the verdict OF the jury, which
was rendered lato yesterday after
noon. The plaintiffs took an appeal
in the first instance.
Upon what grounds the case win be
appealed has not been given out yet,
since the hili OF executions has not
heen I.aie out. In general way,
though, II is said among other things
the defendants will except 20 Judge
Abbott's instructions to the jury, and
also to the adrissa5lity Of certain
evidence in the record.
The defendant has five davs in
whicn to file a motion for new trial,
which is a necessary formaliiy before
giving notice OF appeal. No motion
for a new trial had been filed at the
office Of the clerk OF the district court
this afternoon. Judge Abbott is in
Valencia county holding court now.
but the new trial motion does not
have TO be passed upon within the five
days. The filing OF the motion with
in the prescribed period Is all that Is
necessary.
The facts in connection with the
case are well known.
The suit was instituted back in 1909
for $4,000 damages alleged to have
been sustained by Di Palma and
Ruppe as the result of the falling of
a wall at Second street and Railroad
avenue, next door to the place where
the new Barnett building now stands.
Ruppe had the building in question
rented from j. A. Welnman. The cav
ing in OF the wall, the plaintiffs allege,
was OccasiOned by the excavations
made under II by contractors who
were working for Joseph Barnett.
Weinman and Barnett were made
ioint defendants In the suit.
The testimony in the case is vol
luminous and IL will require almost
months work for the court stenogra-

port Of the evidence and the other
parts of the record.
