BY MR.. SWAIN

was asked over the telephone today if
he cared to make a statement about
an editorial article in the Every

For instance, they might ask if
Cornelius p. Swain was present upon
the occasion of the distribution of the
famous corruption fund of $4,000 for
vote buying in Kent and Sussex
counties on the eve Of election in 1904.
They might ask if Mr.. Swain did
not take charge Of the apportionment
for Northwest Fork hundred, his home
district. and If this apportionment
was not something like $4,000"
Mr.. Swain replied that the statement
and insinuations in the Every Evening

DEFENCE OPENS
In CATTLE SUIT
Argument on Power Of At
tOrney Holds Back TeSti-
mOny During Morning

Owing to the case of Klair and Hol-
lingsworth VS.. the p, b. and w.
Railroad Company being still on trial
in Superior Court the jurors not em-
paneled we're discharged this morn
ing until tomorrow morning. Samuel
Dougherty was the first witness called
this morning. He changed his tesu-
mony regarding having paid the
freight on the cattle received at the
points i'm Maryland. Then the plaintiff
rested.
Alexander NJ Allen, freight con-
ductor of the p, B. and w. Railroad
Company was the first witness called
by the defense. He consulted his rec
ord book and testified that on October
8, 1906, he moved the car, No 96I, con-
tanning the cattle from Gray's Ferry
to Edge Moor. The running time be-
tween the points he said, was one
hour and five minutes.

titled a power of attorney to sign live

men were named. Mr.. Ball objected to
the admission of the paper as there
/ Hdu Dttn uO tNiutiiSt pAOhhNDh ehNe
Holman and Stewart had any author
ity TO appoint any Of these men with
power of attorney.
Mr.. Gray, for the defendant COM
pany, argued in favor Of admitting
the paper in evidence. He said the
power of attorney does not have
to be a special one, but a general
authorization. If a conslgnee is not
accountable then there is no use OF a
contract, he argued.
Mr.. Ball argued that the plaintiff
never gave Hoffman and Stewart the
right to delegate any power Of at
torney to bind the. plaintiff.
Judge Hastings asked il the con-
signee is bound by the act of the
consignor
Mr.. Ball replied that he is not
bound by such a contract without the
consignee getting notice.
Mr.. Ball objected to the admission
of the special contracts on the ground
that they are void on account of pub
lie policy. The railroad company has
no right to enter into a contract ex-
empting itself from all damages by
the acts of its servants, he said. This
being an Illinois case he quoted sew
eral decisions in Illinois. They went
TO show that the carrier could be re-
lieved of its obligations by the rules
of the common law.
The jury was excused until 2.3O
o'clock, and the court heard argument
! up to time of taking a recess.
