 CONDUCT HIS OWN CASE
Suit of B. H. Hewitt vs. Lafayette F. Main Occupied Common Pleas Court All Day Wednesday.

At the opening of the common pleas court on Wednesday morning jury was selected for the trial of the case of B. H. Hewitt, lawyer. vs. Lafayette F. Main of North Stonington, the suit being for $699.99. the amount of a bill for legal services covering a period of nearly two years
 The plaintiff claimed that he gave NJ. Main legal services from Novem- ,ber 2, 1907. to July 1. 1909. the total amount being ss91e9. He has been paid s192 and the suit is for the re- ,mainder. MT. Main denies that he owes anything. The plaintiff explained his bill in detail. MT. Hewitt was on the stand most of the day. his cross examination by MT. Main being long. During it he admitted that there was S4.63 which he should have credited to MT. Main, as he had settled case for less than the amount MT. Main had turned over to him to do so with, but had forgotten to credit the remain der. He also said that s75 had been
 given him to carry a case to the SUI ,preme court, but the appeal was va cated and he applied the $75 to his own bill.
 For a layman. Mir. Main handles
 himself well. has picked up many le- gal terms which he uses to advan-
 tage. and does not get excited. all though at times, as he says himself he is inclined to argue the matter with the witness instead of confning him. self to questions.
 Attorney c. F. Thayer was called and testified that the charges by Mir Hewitt for the different matters h' had acted in for MT. Main were per fectly proper. and in some cases be
 low the minimum. He said $25 dal
 is a fair price for a days worl | which takes an attorney away from hi office all day. He was under direc examination when court adjourned a 4.S0 until ten o'clock this morning. | Mir. Main asked the court to ex | clude reference to the matters wher | charges were made for defending hin | in the case brought by his brother fo | assault with intent to kill As it wa l in evidence, the questions were al l lowed
