evening, shown in the opening offer
ing5 of the vaudeville and moving pic

The plaintiff was James N. Reed
and the defendant Emma Simmons.
Reed claims that after he and Mrs.
Simmons left the employ Of the New
England Navigation Co., where they
were in the stewards department of
one OF the New York boats, they went
to New Haven. where Mrs. Simmons
invested such capital as she had In a
place of business known as the Dix
well hotel. She engaged Reed as man
ager and chef, agreeing to pay him SIS
a week Mrs. Simmons, according to
Reed, paid him only a little and he
now sues for $270.
Mrs. Simmons defense Is that the
place was conducted by Reed and her
self and that Reed shared in the
profits. A contract signed by Mrs.
Simmons, by which Reed was to re-
ceive SIS week was introduced as
evidence, but Mrs. Simmons said that
she signed this only when Reed with
razor threatened her II she re-
fused.
The stories Of the witnesses for the
plaintiff and those for the defendant
differed. IN every detail. Reed said that
the contract was signed by Mrs. Sim
mons Of her own free will. He denied
being one of the owners, and menu
cards and stationery Of the Dixwell
hotel were introduced to show that
LAcy ICdQ scAluLlOAS. VIOpFlNtOTs
James Reed, manager. Reed said in
his testimony that he handed over the
proceeds each day to Mrs. Simmons,
who gave him money to purchase sup
plies. He said that Mrs. Simmons had
told him that IL he tried to cash a
check for SIS which she gave him she
would go to court and swear that he
got her to sign the check by vile
means"
The case was brought into the court
by a colored lawyer. Attorney George
w. Crawford of New haven Attorney
Crawford was original IN bis question
ing methods. In cross examining Mrs.
Reed he asked q question. Mrs Reed
| evaded the question and launched off
into an irrelevant story. Crawford
tried to hold the witness to the story
but was unable. with a sigh. he said I:
We'll. If you want 10 get 1t out of
your system. 20 ahead" and he wait
ed until Mrs. Reed had finished her
tale. Crawford and Mrs. Reed had a
tilt over the question as to whether
Reed had provided for his wife's sup
port or not. Mrs. Reed admitted that
she had her husband before the New
Haven city court for non-support
IN The feature of the case was the ev1-
dent i'll feeling between the families
and sympathizers Of the plaintiff and
defendant. They were drawn up in
separate sections Of the court room
and while not testifying gIared defi-
ance at one another.
r. P. Freeman represented Reed.

bury block at Moosup. The incendiary
broke into the cellar and laid a fuse
from the furnace to a pile OF straw 50
feet away, and was warranted in ex-
pecting that the property would be de-
stroyed. Mrs. Adams, who occupied
the upper tenement. was annoyed by
the smoke. but could get no track OF
the source Of IL. The fuse did not work
and the criminal scheme failed The
block is occupied by stores, clubs and
families. and is in the center Of the
crowded business quarter of the VII
lage, and had the IRE followed the fuse
to the straw, as was planned, a large
loss must have resulted from the fire.

ALL EVIDENCE IN NIGHT RIDERS
CASE is NOW IN.
ONE JUROR IS SICK
His Illness Gives Both Sides uneasi-
ness, and Arguments May be Made
at the Bedside of the Sick Man,
Rather Than Have a MistriaI.

UNION CITY, Tenn, Jan. 4.-Both
sides concluded their testimony today
in the cases of the alleged nightriders
charged with completely in the mur.
der of Captain Quentin Rankin. The
arguments will begin tomorrow.
There are five attorneys on each side
The illness of Juror Rossen is
causing the court and the attorneys
considerable uneasiness. Should he
become too i'll to finish the case a
mistrial would result. Judge Jones
declared that if necessary he would
finish the case at the sick mans bed
side rather than declare a mistrial
The state expects it would be next to
impossible to get another jury to try
the eight men since the evidence has
become public. But in case of ver-
dict of guilty, it expects a rush of
other indicted men to plead guilty
and seek the mercy of the court.
