morning but were Withdrawn and settled.
They were Eben D. Vose of Knox and Ruel
5. Ward OF Unity VS.. W. G. Davis, ct al of
Portland. These were two of many like cases
in which Waldo County farmers lost heavily in
the fall of 1911 when the Portland Packing
Company refused their corn on accoun, of in
jury BY frost Just before Judge Whitehouse
retired he handed down a rescript in two like
cases in Somerset county In one case the de-
cision was for the company and the other
for the farmer. The defendant company
maintains that frost bitten corn SPOTS after
packing, the sugar turning to starch and
water. and that the putting of such goods on
the market would injure their reputation
Mr.. Vose sued fo- $3.50 and Mr.. Ward for $500.
Dunton Morse for plaintiffs, VIM. NJ. Brad
ley of Portland for defendant.
After the withdrawal of the corn cases, as
no other cases were ready for trial, Judge
Philbrook gave his attention to cases that
were to be settled out of court
Harold H. French VS.. Catherine ]. Hills of
Marblehead, Mass, was opened before a jury
Wednesday afternoon. The son of defendant,
Maine Hills. made contract with French to
paint the Hills house Miller street
for $45 and paid him that sum soon after the
work was done. French brought this action to
recover about $40 which he claimed to have
paid out for material and for labor above the
contract price. The defence was that the
labor and material were both poor and not
worth more than the contract price and pre-
sented evidence to that effect. The case was
on trial when The Journal went to press.
