LEGAL TANGLE
IS UNRAvELED
Judge w. H. Gest Instructs the
Jury in Case Against
Shields, ct al:
HAD ARGUED TWO WEEKS
Two or Three Joint Defendants Win
Their Points-Bank to Get
Judgment.

A case which has been occupying
the attention of Judge w. H. Gest IN
the circuit court for the past two
weeks was brought to close today
when the court instructed the jury as
to the findings it should make in the
verdict The case was that Of the
State bank VS.. c. z. Shields, ct al, and
1t was to recover on note for $4,000
drawn in favor of the bank by the Con-
crete Construction company, which for
merly existed here.
C. E. Shields, H. o. Rolls and j. s.
Wilbur were named as joint defend
ants, as they had signed the note as
guarantors for the company. Mr..
Shields escaped Judgment on plea of
bankruptcy, and Mr.. Rolls set up the
defense of payment. His attorneys
showed that the note had been re-
newed by the concrete, company and
that he had not signed it again, which,
in the opinion of the court, left him
out of it. The other joint defendant
made no defense, and accordingly the
court ordered the jury to find the is
sues in the case against him and in
favor of the other two defendants,
which practically means that he will
have to stand for the payment of the
entire amount of the note, which, with
interest, amounts to $4,000.
A Legal TangIe.
The case has proved considerable of
a legal tangle and it has taken over
two weeks to unravel it. Motion after
motion trying to take the case out IF
the jury's hands and for other pur-
poses have been made, and Judge Gest
was kept busy ruling on them. Much
of the argument of the opposing attor-
neys was done with the jury out of the
room. Searle & Marshall represented
H. o. Rolls. and the State bank was
represented by S. r. Kenworthy.
Jury trials ceased for a time with
the termination of the above case, and
Judge Gest will occupy his time for
the next week in hearing pleas, mo-
tions, demurrers, ETC.

quires Il Lots on Fifth
Avenue.
TO BUILD IMMEDIATELY
Structure Will Be Two Stories, of
Brick and Embrace Repair
Shops.

President J. F. Porter, acting for the
Tri-City Railway company, today pur-
chased from E. w. Lewis a tract of
realty embracing IA lots lying between
Fifth and Sixth avenues and Thirty
fifth and Thirty-sixth streets, on which
the company contemplates the erection
of a combined car barn and repair
shops at an expenditure of $4,000
The new building will be two stories
and of brick construction. Work on
it will commence within a month, pro-
viding that in the meantime the COM
pany is able to pass its new franchise
extension ordinances now before the
councils of the three cities.
The consideration in the new pur-
chase by the company is not made
public The corner of Thirty-flfth
street and Fifth avenue was not In
cluded in the transfer. Located on
this strip are one twostory frame and
a few cottages.
To Retain Present Quarters.
The present car barn and repair
shops of the railway company front
ON Fifth avenue between Thirty-fourth
and Thirty-fifth streets. The new ar
rangement does not contemplate the
abandonment of these for company
purposes.
at wust be borne in mind that the
Tri-Cfty Railway company, in its
growth and expansion, is keeping pace
with the community in which it is
doing business, and to the upbuilding
of which it wishes to offer all the en-
enlargement consistent with business
Judgment" President Porter said.
Our original plans were to begin the
construction of the new buildings the
first thing this spring, but we were
obliged to postpone operations until
we could satisfy ourselves that our
requests of the city councils were to
be met in the spirit that we expected.
The new building, aside from the price
of the property for a site, is an item
of at least $4,000.
More Room Necessary.
I'VE will need the quarters between
Thirty-fourth and Thirty-f1fth streets
that we are now occupying. We sim
ply must have more room to accommo-
date our equipment and repair forces.
I'VE would like to begin work on
our new site inside a month, and we
will do so in the event that our ordf-

Which Wife GETS
THE INSURANCE
u. S. Supreme Court to Pass
on Question.

Washington, d. c., November I'll
Does the divorced Wife necessarily
turn over to the second wife not only
the husband in the case, but also the
beneficial rights in his life insurance
policies?
This is one of the knotty problems
that the justices of the Supreme court
Of the United States may be think
ing about during their Thanksgiving
vacation. In the /. meantime Annie
Snyder, of Chattanooga, Tenn, the
divorced wife of Charles G. Snyder,
is hoping for an early termination of
neg suit for the $4,000 Insurance on
5yndelis life, and the directors of a
fraternal order are hesitating about
paying it to her, lest Ida NJ. Snyder,
of Brooklyn, N. Y, the second Mrs.
Synder, and Snyder's legal Wife at
the time of his death, may sue for
the insurance. Just before the recess
Of the Supreme court began the at,
torneys for the first Mrs. Synder ask
ID the court to dismiss an appeal
by the fraternal order from the de-
oision of the Tennessee courts favor
able to Mrs. Annie Synder The an
swer of the court is expected when
t feconvenes.
The first Mrs. Snyder claims the in
surance because the policy was made
out to her as beneficiary and for years
both before and after her divorce from
Snyder she paid the assessments Dur
ing the latter years the assessments
were paid. she asserts, on an under
standing with the head of the frater>
nal order that she probably would be
entitled to the insurance if she con-
tinued payment of the assessments.
The order contends that under its
constitution and bylaws the first
Mrs. Snyder ceased to have an inter-
est in the policy when she was di-
vorced and tie inadvertence and mis-
take of its officer could not have af-
fected the contract However, the Su-
preme court of Tennessee held that
in the circumstances the order was
estopped from denying the claim.

the Montclair public schools cost the
town $4,000 ANNUALLY for their edaca-

segregated from the other pupils be-
cause of their alleged incorrigibilfty
