Judge WaddlII Holds That The CouD.
Gil cannot Recover From ". S.
?. Shield Trust Co.
Ne FULLY SUSIAIAs MR.. CUNNING
Bond Was Given as Guarantee by
Philadelphia That He Would Build
Gas Plant, But Court Holds That
Council Had No Authority to Grant
Shields Franchise.

According to decision handed
down by Judge Edmund Waddill, of
the United States District Court, the
town OF Hampton cannot recover up
on the $4,000 bond of w. S. p
Shields and the Fidelity Trust and
Guarantee Company, of Maryland
Mr.. Shields gave the town the bond
as guarantee to build gas plant,
for which he was granted charter
py the town council. The Maryland
concern was surety.
When the time expired for the
erection of the gas plant Mr.. Shields
nad not even started work. He re-
sides in Philadelphia
After waiting sometime for him to
make good his bond the town brought
IN action against Shields and the FL
ielity Trust Guarantee Company of
Maryland, to recover the sum Of So,
900. that being the face value of the
bond.
Town Attorney William C. l.. Talia-
ferro brought the suit in the United
States District Court, over which
Judge Waddili presides. The town
attorney made an able fight and won
upon every point of law, although the
decision was given against him. The
defendants won on technical point
which Is said to have very broad
and sweeping effect in the State of
Virginia as to the granting of fran
chises.
Hon. Samuel GORDON Cumming.
VINO represented the Fidelity Trust
and Surety Company and Mr.. Shields,
demurred to the evidence OF the
plaintiff on the grounds that the
town council was not empowered
with the authority to grant a fran.
chlse to the organization represented
by Shields. He held that Shields
mad not first obtained the necessary
legislative action to entitle him to re-
celve n franchise from the town
council.
Judge Waddill, in his opinion, fully
sustains Mr.. Cummings contentious
and has entered decree Diminishing
.he suit of the town against the de-
PENDANTS.
1t Is thought this will end the case,
as Town Attorney Taliaferro will
probably recommend to the town
council that the chances of winning
III the United States Circuit Court
are slim.
The town of Phoebus was given a
certified check by Mr.. Shields for o
franchise in that town, and when Mr..
Snields failed to carry out the terms
OF his contract the town had the
check cashed and has used the
money. 1t is not thought that Mr..
shields will attempt no recover from
Phoebus.

upon his premises q ferocious dog

OUR JURY SYSTEM.

Every once and awhile some iel-
low will bcb up and criticise our
jury system, because of some erro.
neous or unjust verdict the jury
may make. But as a whole, the
jury will do what they think is
best for the State and community,
and as long as they do that, the
purposes for which they were
chosen will be maintained. We
can never have ideal juries and
ideal verdicts without healthy
public opinion. The jurors come
from the people and go back to
the people. The intent and pur-
pose of the system is that the &C.
cused shall have the judgement of
his fellows, any one of whom
might be in the same plight but
for circumstances.
Judge Strong said recently
"The State, the public have an
interest in the preservation of the
liberties and the lives of citizens
and will not allow them TO be
taken away without due process of
law when forfeited, as they may
be, as punishment for crime. y
