Taft this afternoon received a long
telegraph message from his father re-
garding the accident. 1t is generally
understood the president instructed the

LOVERS PROMISES MAY
Be LEGALLY ENFORCED
Law Axiom Embodied I'm Judge How
ellis Decision in Bennett Stewart
Peterson Case.

| OGDEN. July 10.-According TO a
| decision handed down in the district
court Monday afternoon by Judge
Howell, Nellie Bennett Stuart, plain
| tiff in a suit against John Douglas
Peterson, is TO receive an accounting
for all royalties received on the Rem
ington pump gun from the Remington
Arms company and will also be paid
one fourth of the amount OF such roy
alties. In passing on the case. Judge
Howell reviewed the case, az follows:
In 1889 defendant began the design and
invention OF an improved repeating
shotgun. In 1901 he became acquainted
with A. l.. Bennett, then husband of
the plaintiff. Bennett. who was a
noted rifle shot and well acquainted
with big gun manufacturers, signed
contract With Peterson, agreeing TO
pay one-third of the costs of market
ing the gun and for this and other con-
siderations, TO receive ono-fOurth in
terest in its disposition. Bennett died
before the patent was issued leaving
his widow, the plaintiff, as sole heir.
Soon after Peterson sold his patent TO
the Remington Arms company, receiV-
ing $4,000 cash and royalty of 80 cents
ON each gun manufactured. About this
for Benefits widow proof of which
were the love letters read in courO
and after paying Mrs. Bennett 81. 300
as her share OF the cash payment on
the patent. he had her sign certain pa
pers which later showed that she had
signed away her interest. However
numerous promises were made I'm vari-
Gus letters that she should receive her
portion and even more. However since
the first payment, Peterson has failed
to make any accounting for royalties,
claiming that certain IMPROVEMENTS
had been made which completely
changed the gun. In referring to the
love letter promises counsel for he
defense argued that this was Simply
the extravagant promise of a lover TO
his sweetheart. much the same as
though he had promised her the moon.
The court states that Il Is not his bust
ness to untangle intricate strains of a
love tale or point out the possibilities of
romantic novel In this case and also
that IL Is not his duty to enforce hyper
bolical promises made by a lovesick
swain to his loved one. The promises.
so the court finds, were. after all, only
what was due her husband. With keen
perception, the court states that the
passionate letters were noticea'bly more
ardent before Mrs. Bennett signed the
release than afterward. and II Is
strongly minated that the woolng
which was fully reciprocated. was only
that although many other promises
made by Peterson to Mrs. Bennett
