After having heard eight days of
voluminous testimony in the Carona

damage suit against Julius Lichtman
for the alleged illegal purchase of
parts of hides from Albert Guigas and
having been locked in the jury-room

note of the contest was the possible
existence of the element of fraudulent
If this was found to exist,
the judge said. the possible existence
of a supplementary trade custom and
verbal contract made it right for the
plaintiff to expect the return of the
parts of the hides which Guigas had
been able to save from destruction by
his invention of a splitting machine.
There remain upon the calendar
three similar suits against Lichtnnan,
which bring the total damages sought
by the plaintiff company up to nearly
$250,000.

With Mrs Edelhofr was another
daughter and neighbor The mother
said that she had searched in various
cities through friends and relatives for
the girl, but had been unable to locate
her No tidings have been received
from the young couple, and the police
have been unable to secure clue.
Yesterday Detective Wendell was sent
out on the search.
Recorder Mott said the detectives in
the case would ontinue their work Of
locating the pair and future court ac-
ton would depend on their success. If
Fitzpatrick is located it is thought the
matter will be smoothed over between
the parents of the young man and girl
One of Mrs. Edelhoffis neighbors who
accompanied her to court thought there
would be but small likelihood Of the
eloping girl being able to pass for
more than her real age, but the mother
and daughter said she easily could be
taken for Is years old. Mrs Edel-
hoff went away from court to continue
her search. On afternoons when Ella
was late coming home from Elmwood
School the mother learned that she
