VERDICT AGAINST
 TALLY YESTERDAY
WILL APPEAL IN SUIT FOR $100,0OO ALLEGED TO BE DUE BY THE ALABAMA WESTERN RAILROAD COMPANY

The jury in the case of Ben Tally against the Alabama Western railroad returned a verdict yesterday morning for the defendant. The jurymen delib- erated on the case about IS hours. The court was summoned yesterday a short time before noon to receive the verdict which was shortly afterwards placed upon the federal court records
 The case will be appealed and the trip of 90 miles made to the scene of the work said to have been performed by Der. Tally will be the point upon which Gen. Luke Wright and Caruthers Ewing hope to secure a reversal
 Before leaving here for his home in Memphis Sunday, MT. Ewing authorized the statement in the event a verdict was returned for the defense that the case would go to the circuit court of appeals and that the trip ordered by Judge Grubb would be the point at issue. It is claimed that in permitting this trip the judge ex- posed the jury to an opinion that could only be given by experts and that the entire face of things had been changed since the work was completed and the time the jury inspected the work.
 The railroad was completed about De- tober 1O 1907. and three years have oiopSeu siice that tiIne The plaintiff will claim that rains, snows and the other ravages of the elements have changed the entire work to such an extent that no positive opinion could now be formed as to the character of the work
 It Is understood the jury stood 10 to ? for the defendant from about one hour after being locked up Monday afternoon until yesterday morning
 The case was an action brought by Ben Tally for $100,000 and interest claimed to be due from the company for work done In building a portion of the road from the Mississippi state line toward Haley- vile, Ala. The first suit was by the Tally-Bates Construction company. in which a judgment for the plaintiff result ed. This judgment was annulled by the supreme court on the ground that the plaintiff was a foreign corporation and had not filed a charter to do business in this state. The most unusal feature of the case was trip of 90 miles made to the scene by the entire court on A special train.
 Ben Tally, the plaintiff, who resides in Memphis, was seen shortly after the jury returned the verdict.
 He said that as long as his body held a breath of life he would be found fight ing the company which he claims owes him about $1O0,0O0. He said without hesi- tation that the case would be appealed at once and every effort made to re- verse the ruling of Judge Grubb in ref erence to the propriety of carrying the jury on the trip of inspection.
 MT. Percy, for the company, said the verdict was not unexpected to him, as he believed the plaintiff had been ade- quately compensated.
