REV. j. A. CRUMP AGAINST THE.
WESTERN UNION TELE-
GRAPH co.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe
Shelbyville, Tenn, April 8, 1911.
The case of Rev. j. A. Crump
against the Western Union Telegraph
Company, mention of which was
made some time ago through thu
Globe, came up for second hearing
in the Circuit Court on the 4th ms.
at Shelbyville.
1t will be remembered that judg-
ment was given Rev Crulhp in the
lower court for the sum ct $4,000.
This was an appeal case, the matter
having been appealed by ire Tele-
graph Company. 1t was a case where
Rev. Crump had sued the company
for Withholding a telegram sent MIS-.
Crump last August the 7th, for about
forty-two days. The message an
nounced the death of her father The
prosecutor claimed that said delay
in the delivery of said message causel
considerable mental pain and agony.
On these grounds suit was brought.
The whole day was consumed in
the hearing of this case on the 4th.
The defense was represented Dy ME-.
Campbell, of Nashville; the other
side was represented by Mr. W. H.
Crowel, of Shelbyville.
The case has from start to finish
created considerable interest through
out the county, and has been closely
watched. Witnesses for Rev. Crump
consisted of a number of the best CT
tizens, both colored and white, in the
county. 1t seemed that the defense
scraped nearly every dive in the
town to find witnesses for their side,
but their testimony seemed to fall
fiat. Two or three white men who
testified on behalf of the defense
seemed to try to tell the truth. The
case was given to the jury who, after
five hours deliberation, failed to
reach an agreement. Having been
sent back the second time, they again
failed to return a verdict, after sew
eral hours deliberation. 1t is said
that the jury stood to 6. This case
will come up again in the nett term
of court in August.
