After the attorneys for the plant

road before them they concluded il
was better to withdraw the case than
to take the chances of having de

case, which we publish as she re

"The case of Nellie DERRICK against

dismissed Wednesday morning by the
plaintiff without prejudice, because a
certain witness on the part of plant
