stove which he sold to her former
husband, Eugene Miller. M. G. Leary
of Burlington, counsel for Mrs. Sweet,
moved that the case be taken from
the jury and a verdict directed In
favor Of the defendant. Mr.. Leary
claimed that If there was any con-
tract between the plaintiff and the
defendant 1t was void under the sta
tutc OF frauds, as no consideration
had been shown and as a claim had
been presented for this bill against
the estate Of Mr.. Miller and had been
allowed. In the afternoon session
Judge Stanton upheld the motion.
