The original law dispulifying judges

ested, either directly or indirectly,
or in which he would be excluded

The jury in the $4,000 breach of
promise suit of Miss Martha Harper
w. Patrick Alc'Tighe retired at about
4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
agreed upon verdict at len o'clock
last night It was sealed, and when
opened in court this morning it was
found to he in favor of the plaintiff,
but placing her damages at 81.
In the course of his argument to
the jury yesterday afternoon Judge
Comstock said that the plaintiff did
not come with any spirit breathing
desire to marry the defendant, but
was rather seeking ten thousand of
his hard earned dollars. She had not
gone at it in way to show womanly
instinct or regard for him in her heart,
so it was fair to conclude that she
was looking only for one thing-money.
There was nat Il. sign of affection
on her part toward him.
In adiudeing damages it was for
the jury to consider the conduct and
propriety of demcanor of the woman.
If she was one who visited saloons,
through alleys, by night, it was to
be considered whether she would make
a good wife.
Argued For the Plaintiff.
C. J. Laurisch argued the case for
the plaintiff, and said that McTiehe
had not only broken his promise to
marry Miss Harper, but that lie had
| tried to besmirch her good name by
bringing in an eX-saloon keeper to
testify against her, and that this
mans testimony showed that he WIS
violating the law when he did the thing
| that he swore to- 1t was strange that
out OF the whole city and out Of Min
ncapolis, where Miss Harper had lived
for twenty years, not one person but
an ex-saloon keeper could be found
! TO testify against her conduct. She
had been hard working woman, and
McTighe's breaking his promise to mar
ry her had crushed her. People do not
look at things alike and Miss Harper
saw no wrong in going for beer and
taking it home and drinking it there
Judge Quinn, in charging the jury
said that in this ease, as i'll others
the burden of proof was on the plain
tiff. The whole testimony must BIZ
considered and given its prop
err value. The plaintiff claimed that
there was a promise of marriage by
! the defendant. and the defendant denied
| that there was one. If it was found
that there was a promise. and that
the plaintiff was willing and able al
all times to carry it out, she is en-
titled to damages.
