SMITHS PLEAS
IN ABATEMENT
ARE OVERRULED

Defendants pleas In abatement claim
ing another suit pending In which the
same matter Is involved have been over
ruled by the superior court in the case OF
Hope T. Williams VS.. Clarence A. Smith.
AS the second count OF the plaintiffs dec
laration recltes a loan the court does not
believe * can be good in charging embez-
element and sustains n demurrer to It,
Plaintiff claims the defendant made over
10 his own use money secured from her
by checks to the amount OF sS3l5.72. She
secured a verdict, but the same was set
aside because the case seemed 10 involve
embezzlement and no criminal action had
been commenced previous to bringing suit.
Last January a complaint against Smith
was made in Cranston. He sought TO have
tho present suit dismissed because of the
one in which the verdict was set aside.
The court is of opinion no suit could have
been brought before January when the
criminal charge was made so the pleas in
abatement are overruled.
