 But sleep did not visit me. The train came to frequent. grating stops. and I surmised the hot box again am not a nervous man, but there was something chilling in the thought of the second section pounding along be- hind us.

Miss Farrar played her own accou,

Among the prisoners who heard

San Antonio. Texas. May 10.-A
jury in the Fifty-seventh district
court OF this city has set new
standard OF the monetary value OF
human life, having reduced the
famous 81 damage decision OF
New Jersey judge to fifty cents.
The damage awarded by II TO vii
liam Umsche Id for the loss OF a five
year-old son is 81, but the proviso
was added that one-half OF this
should go to the three lawyers who
had handled the case for the plain
tin. thus constituting the smallest
fee ever awarded TO a lawyer IN a
local court. amounting 10 sixteen
and two-thirds cents for each. The
verdict Of the jury. however, or
dained that the defendant should
pay the funeral expenses OF the
child, amounting 10 $40. The child
was drowned in a concrete founda-
tion hole which had been left IN
covered. Umscheid asked for dam
ages in the sum OF 10000. but the
court decided that negligence on
the part of the parents was re-
sponsible for the accident.
