FROM THE LAW COURT.
Rescript in Hancock County Case of
Snowman VS.. Green.

Rescript in Hancock County Case of
Snowman VS.. Green.
The law court has handed down the fol-
lowing reseript in the Hancock county
case Of s. p. Snowman VS.. Horace F. Green.
This case comes to the court on a motion
for new trial. The plaintiffs as proprietors OF
a saw mill sought to recover a balance OF
LAS. alleged to be due them for saving long
and short lumber for the defendant. and for
use and occupation of their mill.
Their account also included an item for de-
PENDANTS board. The defendant filed ac-
count in set of. The jury found that the
amount due plaintiffs account was si.i52.5o
and the amount due the defendants ac-
count in set of was s5oo.os, leaving balance
due the plaintiff of ss5o.42.
careful examination of all the evidence
leads to the conclusion that this verdict is
undoubtedly excessive.
There was evidence which might have war
ranted the jury in stating the plaintiffs ac
count irrespective of credit as follows:
For board seventeen weeks at $40 per
week. .--..-...---...-f .-...... cas- so
For saving 1888 feet of long lumber
at $500 per thousand .................. $50 90
For drawing lumber to slip at 50 cents
per thousand observation-disclosures 20 u
For use of mill saving ciapboards IL
days at $40 per day ......-...-......... 10 co
Total ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. ssoi 81
The fifth item in plaintiffs account was
stricken out by order of court.
With respect to the defendants account IN
set of there was evidence sufficient to sup
port the following findings:
March ia 1 2o1 feet of Inn. har - N
March II, 200 feet of lumber.............. 200
June Is, Iis feet of lumber ............... 2is
June %. one belt ....-....--.......--.s.... 400
June 20, 100 feet of lumber ............... 100
June %, cash .-..... .-.---.-..-......... 800 os
AZ days work at si.75 per day 70 80
July 10, 2i0 feet Of iumber............... 200
Total s4s2 "
With respect TO the item of Fifty cords Of
wo d charged in the account in set off as Of
June 10, the evidence is too indefinite and in
conclusive to authorize the jury to find that
the title thereto ever passed from the defend
ant to the plaintiffs. or that the plaintiffs
were accountable therefor under any contract
between the parties.
According to these statements, the differ
ence between the the plaintiffs account in set
off is s3se.Io.
There was a conflict of testimony in relation
to nearly every item in both accounts, and
while different conclusions might have been
reached by the court with respect TO some OF
/ the items on both sides, we think the evidence
does not justify verdict for the plaintiffs for
any larger sum than the balance above stated.
II, therefore, the plaintiffs within thirty days
from the filing of this rescript, shall remit all
of the verdict above the sum of ssssIo the

New. York, Mar. 1l.-In the first day
for the state. in rebuttal of evidence
at the Thaw trial, District Attorney
jerome called ten witnesses, but aside
from drawing from eye witnesses of
the tragedy an opinion that Thaw
seemed 10 be rational and fighting the
objections" which met Jerome at
every turn. nine-tenths of both ses-
si,,ns was spent in arguments, and at
the end Justice Fitzgerald upheld a
rule laid down at the beginning that
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's story was ad-
Missile only as tending to show the
effect it might have had in unbalanc-
Ing defendants mind and that its
truth or falsity was not material
During the battle between counsel
n the arguments Jerome got befere-
the Jury the knowledge his witnesses
would have impaired Il permitted but
even in this Delmas got from the
court a ruling that the jury should
only consider testimony under oath.
Calling to the stand Frederick w.
Longfellow, formerly attorney for
Thaw, Jerome questioned him con-
corning case wherein a girl is al
legged to have sued Thaw on the
grounds of cruel treatment Delmas
objected. but before the court sus-
tanned it Jerome bot before the jury
the statement that he desired to in
troduce: ''The story of a girl tied to
a bed post and whipped by Thaw. is
the story of Ethel Thomas. This poor
girl is now dead"
Again Jerome was not allowed ia
show by DIR. Rudolph Witthaus, toxico
lcgist, that Evelyn Nesbit could not
have been drugged by White, but the
testimony was barred under the
rule.
Just before adjournment Jas. Clincl
Smith, a lawyer and brotherinlaw OF
White, was called. He was an eye
witness to the tragedy and testified
to Thaw's actions after entering the
roof garden Delmas claimed that
this was evidence in chief and wa:
sustained and the testimony stricken
from the record.
