In many ways the December term was
the longest in forty-five years. Since the
closing of the last term more motions
have been made for new trials than ever
before in the history of the Circuit Court
of Frederick county. Although the Feb
ruary term, Grand Jury term, promises
to be an interesting and long one, there
is no indication that it will approach in
any way the term closed last week.
Instead of the customary two or three
motions for new trials in cases which
have been decided by the last term, a
round dozen of motions have been made
since the adjournment of the December
term.
Of this number only four have been
argued, the remaining eight being held
over until Chief Judge Urner can be
present, as he sat on the bench while
they were being tried. Of the four cases
argued one motion was over-ruled, two
were granted and one was held sub-curia.
The dozen cases appealed are as follows:
Savings Bank of Brunswick vs. Kaplon
not argued.
Savings Bank of Brunswick VS.. Kaplon-
Burner not argued.
Savings Bank of Brunswick vs.. kaplon-
Burner not argued.
Savings Bank of Brunswick VS.. Kaplon-
Stewart not argued.
Savings Bank of Brunswick VS.. V.
Kaplon & Co., not argued.
Savings Bank of Brunswick vs.. kaplon.
Myers not argued.
Cook vs.. Davis not argued.
Flickinger VS.. Maisel not argued.
Tritapoe VS.. Herring motion granted.
Warren VS.. Davis motion overruled.
Smith VS.. Baltimore and Ohio R.. r.
motion granted.
King vs.. Burger, executors, held sub
curia.
During the December term of Court
it is significant that in only two instances
out of twenty-seven civil cases decided
were the verdicts for the defendants.
Those two were the Peddicord- NC Main
and the Mobley Bros. -Ramsburg cases.
States Attorney Samuel A. Lewis viii
have at least three interesting crimina
cases which undoubtedly will attract con-
siderable attention.
Probably the most sensational of these
will be the trial of Harry j. Buch,
charged with assault upon DR.. T. B,
Johnson. In the same case Buch will be
given hearing upon charge of disturb
ing the peace, of which he was founC
guilty and which was incident to his at
tack upon DR.. Johnson, the verdict being
appealed.
The States Attorney also has severa
other interesting cases including Jesse
Derr and Robert Fraley, charged with
larceny of number of tools from Seegel
& Co. Another case is that of Harry
Airy charged with breaking into and rob
bling meters of the Frederick Gas ant
Electric Company.
1t is expected that the we'll known anc
interesting "desk CASE" the ownership
of the desk resting between Miss Quynl
and Mrs. Jacob Rosenstock, will bt
brought into Court for the third tim'
within year. Twice jury has failet
to agree upon verdict.
