motion. and in support OF its case. in add
ton to the testimony OF the conductor OF
the car TO This effect. the testimony of
two passengers. Mr.. McQuitty and Mr..

testimony. the court at the time Of the
trial was convinced that their version of

COURT REFUSED
To SET ASIDE
$4,000 VERDICT

Judge stearns today refused to set aside
the verdict OF $500 awarded the plaintiff
in the case Of Annie D.; Tillinshast
against Abby Sawyer. This was n Suit
to recover $4,000 damages for %aliena-
ton. The grievances complained OF went
back to the year 1894. Mr.. and Mrs. TIL
NAL infelictties In several courts. but
never until this last trial did Mr.. TIL
linghast set UP the claim that he waa
never married TO the plaintiff.
In the rescript hande down today,
Judge stearns says: This is an action
OF the case for the alienation of the af-
fections Of plaintiffs husband. In which
a verdict was rendered In favor of the
plaintiff for $500. The defendant moves
for a new trial and alleges that the ver-
dict is contrary TO the weight of the evil
dence, and that the damages are Excess
sive.
III appears from the evidence that the
relations between the defendant and
plaintiffs husband have been intimate for
n number OF years. beginning at about
the time when plaintiff and her husband
separated. and continuing In this state
and elsewhere down TO the present time.
The defendant al the beginning OF the re-
ladions with Charles Tillinghaet was a
married woman but is now a widow.
The plaintiff and her principal witness.
Charles w. Aborn. swear that Mrs. Saw
yer by the influence which she exerted
over Charles Tillinghast. was the cause
Of the separation between Mrs. FILLING
hast and her husband. The defendant
and her principal witness. the said
Charles Tillinghast. claimed that their
relations were simply business relations.
and that no influence was exerted or re
quired to produce the separation between
Mr.. and Mrs. Tilllnghast.
THE evidence I'm the case was conflict
ing. and as each OF the parties and also
the principal witnesses were plainly In
tercsted I'm the result OF the suit. II
seems TO the court that the question OF
the credibility OF the witnesses was prop
erly left 20 the jury and the jury having
decided I'm favor OF the plaintiffs conten-
ton. the court. after n careful examina-
ton OF the record Is OF the opinion hat
the verdict should he sustained.
THE court cannot say that the amount
OF damages awarded by the jury IL ex-
cessive. However contemplate the char
acter and conduct Of Charles T~1llinghast
may seem 20 be 20 any third person. still
he was the plaintiffs husband. So long
as the marital relations existed. the plain
tin was entitled 20 his support, affection
and company. These rights the plaintin
has loet FOR a number OF years by reason
OF the wrongful acts OF the defendant.
and has also suffered humiliation and dis
grace. In view OF these facts The court
is OF the opinion. that the damages are
not excessive. and the peti,,on for a new
trial II denied

POLICE COMMISSIONERS

San Francisco. July 10.-An exhaus-
with the recent refusal OF the police
commissioners to grant employment
office licenses to Japanese or other
aliens has been mailed to Attorney
General Bonaparte by United States
District Attorney Devlin. There is
every indication that the Japanese will
appeal to the courts to have II de-
termined whether their treaty rights
have been infringed upon.
There is no ordinance on the books
prohibiting the issuance of employ
ment office licenses to aliens, but the
police commissioners contend that such
business comes within their police
powers and that their action does not
discriminate against Japanese nor in
fringe their treaty rights. they being
treated the same as other aliens.
