PLAINTIFF GOT $4,000
In Her Suit Against Another Woman
for Alienation.

Dedham, Mass, Oct. 27.-After only
two hours consideration of the evidence
of the case, jury in the Norfolk supe-
rior civil court yesterday afternoon
awarded Mrs. Elizabeth II. Webber Of
Needham $4,000 in her suit for $4,000
against Mrs. Sarah A. w. Benbow, also
of Needham, for the alienation of the
affections Of her husband, George III.
Webber
Peculiar in many Of its features and
decidedly pathetic in its setting, the
suit has been one of the most sensa-
tionaI in the history Of Norfolk county
court.
Not the least of the features was the
size Of the verdict, $4,000, an unusual
one for Norfolk county, and even in the
entire state of Massachusetts, for suit
of this kind. Then the trial of the
suit, less than two days, was excep-
tionally short for case OF this kind

coLLIDED WITH STREET CAR.
Automobile of DR.. Gilbert Rist in Bur
lington Accident

Burlington, Oct. 27.-An automobile,
driven BY Dr. Gilbert Rist, and an elec-
tric car came together last evening be-
tween 1880 and eight o'clock on the cor
ner of Bank and Church streets. No one
was injured and neither the ear nor the
automobile was damaged to any extent.
According to the police report on the
accident, motorman Amos Brockney who
was running the ear, was IN no way to
blame for the collision The police say
he was running the car slowly up Church
street, when the driver of the machine,
which was coming slowly down the
track, turned in Bank street. The acci-
dent drew large crowd and for a time
furnished considerable excitement and
comment, due doubtless to the fact that
the motorman is under $1,000 bail on a
charge of manslaughter as result OF the
accident on the lower road to Winooski
last Saturday evening
Riding at full tilt on motorcycle,
according TO the statements of some Of
the passengers, Ahner Lozo, a chauffeur
for Clandius Poulaillon, narrowly missed
crashing headlong into q street car at
Pearl and Willard streets yesterday
morning. As it was, Lozo's machine
struck the street car squarely in the
middle The rider jumped when within
about ten feet OF the car. TO which act
he probably owes bis escape from serious
injury. The car was coming down Pearl
street and made the usual stop at Willard
street. according to Superintendent Jones,
when Lozo came from the north on VIII
lard street. The machine was somewhat
damaged, but Lozo escaped without seri-
ous mishap.

tanning five men arrived in town and be-
came under suspicion, as they did not

batteries, left, inquiring the way to
Keene. Sheriff Davidson of Charles

ment that the autoists would not al

that one of them wanted to know what
