VERDICT AGAINST
EDISON WORKS IS
UPHELD BY COURT
Denies New Trial on Claim
That $95,424 Damages
Are Excessive.
Especial to the Newark start

TRENTON. Aug. 10.-The plea for a
new trial, upon the ground hat the
verdict of S95, 424. obtained in the United
States Circuit Court by the Goodwin
Manufacturing Company, Of ST. Louis,
against the Edison monograph Works,
Of this State, on a charge of breach of
contract, was unjust and unreasonable,
was denied by Judge Cross today.
The Goodwin company brought the
suit to recover $4,000 0 damages, claim
ing 1t had sustained that loss by the
Edison company defaulting on a con-
tract to purchase a large quantity Of
stearic acid. 1t vas shown that the
Edison company purchased a small
quantity of the acid under the con-
tract and then refused to take any
more. The defense was hat the de-
PENDANT had never formally ratified the
contract. The jury returned a verdict
for the sum named. In upholding this
verdict Judge Cross says:
The main contentious In behalf OF
the defendant are that the ease should
have been withdrawn from the jury,
in other words, that the evidence sub
mitted by the plaintiff was insufficient
in any of the several aspects mentioned
in the defendants brief, to entitle the
plaintiff to a verdict, or again, II
there were sufficient evidence for that
purpose. that the verdict is excessive,
THESE considerations do not, how
ever, commend themselves to my judg-
ment. l am still convinced that the
case was one for the jury, and that II
was for them, and not for the court,
to say whether or not, under the evil
dence. the defendant was obliged to
respond to the plaintiff IN damages.
The verdict compels and has my ap-
proval.
"As to its amount it is impossible to
say, under the evidence, that although
large, 1t is unjust or unreasonable. II
might have been larger and still have
been well supported by the evidence"
