Verdict for
Sturgis Deputy,

The law court. Friday, handed
down per curiam reseript denying
a new trial in the famous Cumberland
county case of Emerson Doughty
VS.. John w Sullivan, which harks
back to the DAYS of the Enforcement
Commission.
Doughty. who is awarded S2Go0 dan1-
ages by this reseript, Was ? former
Enforcement commissioner. employed
about Portland and very vigorous in
his prosecution of infraetions OF the
prohibitory law 1t was while making
a seizure at IS Center street Portland.
that he was assaulted ana seriously
injured. An investigation followed and
John W. Sullivan, the alleged proprie
tor of the place raided. was arraigned
in the municipal court and held upon
a charge oil assault and battery upon
Doughty. The grand jury failed to INF
dict and later Doughty brought civil
action, claiming damages to the
amount of $500. The jury returned a
verdict for the full amount and the
case went to the law court upon de-
PENDANTS motion for new trial, which
is denied. The rescript is as follows;
This is an action for damages for an
assault and battery. Inc lI1N returned
a verdict of $3.50 for the plaintiff, and the
case is before this court on general
motion for new trial
Whether or not the defendant assault
ed the plaintiff was a question of fact
The testimony bearing on that question
was contradictory and apparently ire
conclable. IL was for the jury to accept
that part which they deemed worthy or
credit, and to reject that part wh,ch
they deemed unworthy of credit. Ina
saw the witnesses and mad the opfo
tunity 10 observe their appearances 8 a
manner while testifyiag, an iTnrorian
weight and credit which should be giylB
to their testimony. The eoa.t has on :
their words as shown OF the print J
page.
There is nothing inherently inproi d.
BILE in the plaintiffs story. The juf. s=e-
eepted it instead of that of the defeE-
dant and his witnesses. 1t was their
duty TO accept il IL they deemed it the
more worthy of credit. The weight and
eredibility of the testimony is always
for the jury to determine, and when. as
dict on an issue of fact where the tes-
timony was in direct conflict and could
not be reconciled. thatsverdict should not
be disturbed unless ii is manifestly the
result of bias or prejudice. We find moth
ing in this case tending to show that the
verdict was the result of bias or pre-
judiee against the defendant.
1t is not argued in behalf of the de-
PENDANT that the damages awarded are
therefore the opinion of the court that
the verdict of the jury should not be dis
turbed.
Motion overruled.
