Jury Superior Court Finds For Miss Margaret Kenure v Brainerd x Armstrong Co.-Suit Started For l5OOO Damages in Automobile Accident in Old Lyme.

road in order to stop his team In front of his house, and he brought the team to a stop where there was a bank or elevation alongside of the road The automobile was coming from be- hind him at high speed, it is claimed and because of the bank at that side of the road there was no room for the automobile to pass on the south or left side, but there was plenty of room on the other side.
 But the chauffeur tried to pass on the south or left side. 1t Is claimed and in so doing struck MT. Maynard just as he was getting out of the team, knocked him down and dragged him a considerable distance.
 The first witness for the plaintiff was Dr. John H. T. Sweet of Hart ford, introduced as an expert on the treatment of fractured bones in which he had been engaged for 42 years, who testified to treating John F. Maynard at MT. Maynard's home in Old Lyme on May 26, 1912. He made nine visits to MT. Maynard in Old Lyme, the last on Aug. 18th, treating him for com pound comminuted fracture or the bone of the left leg and a fracture of the smaller bone in the leg. The break was about two inches above the ankle.
 The attorneys had the plaintiff go to the side of the witness stand where u0 DdI60 HIS lcS III IIlS SIS III Ol lllG jury and the doctor indicated how the bone had protruded through the flesh in two places, where wounds are now shown. The big bone of the leg had been broken off short, the upper and lower ends of the broken bone protrud- ing through the flesh when the doctor saw the injured man the first time. The doctor gave 9 technical description of the treatment given and said they had all they could do to save the limb by proper and careful treatment. Dr. Ely of Old Lyme was also attending MT. Maynard The injured man also visited Dr. Sweet at Hartford.
 At the present time, Dr. Sweet said that about half an inch had been lost on the length of the leg, because there had been a ligamentous union instead of bony union. The doctor said this limb could never be perfect again There is a slight spring in the bone and the man has to wear a brace on the doctors advice. The doctor said that his whole bill for his services in this case was $450.
 The doctor was cross eanined by Attorney KeneaIy. Court adjourned after this at 4.30 until Thursday morn ing
