To a Case in County Court Yesterday
Afternoon.

The case of Hiram B. Wedge, admin
istrator of tho estate OF Israel Gull
mont VS.. the Central Vermont railway,
wAier went on trial in Washington
county court Tuesday morning. came to
an abrupt ending yesterday afternoon.
The defendant railroad introduced no
testimony and when the plaintiff rested,
w. b. G. SticlSney argued a motion for
a verdict for the defendant company on
the ground that the testimony at toe
second trial was the same as at the
first trial, and that supreme court sent
the case back and reversed the Judgment.
on the ground that on the evidence In
troduced at the FIRST trial the court
should have directed verdict for tbs
company because of contributory negIl
gence on the part Of the plaintiff. Z.
i. Laird and r. A. Hoar opposed this
motion for verdict and the court took
it under consideration. Yesterday after
noon Judge Waterman granted the mo
tion, ordered the jury To return . verdict
for the defendant railroad to recover
its costs, and the case went OF tae
docket.
