jured in 1908 for the purpose of prac-
ticaly nom suiting the case, were I'M
successful Wednesday afternoon. An
effort made this forenoon to convince
the court that the assignment Of Kelle-

and by that means defeat the plaintiffs
case was also unsuccessful.
In both instances Judge Nichols
ruled for the plaintiff. kellehers at
torneys have carefully avoided intro
ducing any testimony that would show
that Kelleher was pulling an inter-
state train when he was injured. Dur
ing the cross examina.ion OF Kelleher
the railroads attorneys sought to bring
out this fact Keileher's attorneys OBJ
jected to the admission of the evidence,
and Judge Nichols sustained the OBJ
lection. 1t was just such evidence
brought out by the plaintiff at the last
trial Of this ca Sc that resulted in the
court setting aside the jury's verdict.
The railroad lawyers made formal
offer to show that kelleher was en-
gagged in interstate traffic at the time
of his injury, but This offer was re-
jected by Judge Nichols. The defend
ants motion for a directed verdict,
which included all the reasons brought
out in the arguments advanced on the
points mentioned, and for the addi-
tional reasons that kelleher was guilt,
of contributory negligence and tina,
Breens claim to the assignment was
invalid, was overruled by the court
Arguments were begun when court
opened at l O'Clock and the case was
given to the jury late in the afternoon.

OLD CURSE AT WORK STILL
Death Of English Officer in France Re-

Centuries Ago.

The death by a German bullet OF
Hon. Francis Geoffrey Pearson, Lord
Cowdrays third son has recalled in
England the violent end of other heirs
to Cowdray, the historic mansion near
Midhurst, and of the curse that was
pronounced in 1888, when Sir Ar
thur Browne, father of the first Lord
Montagu. received Battle abbey as
gift from Henry III.
Sir Arthur destroyed the great
church at Battle and the cloisters, and
converted the abbot's lodging into a
dwelling house. While he was holding
a feast in the great hall one of the
dispossessed monks entered and SOL
emnly cursed the family. declaring that
the Montagu line should perish by
fire and water" 1t was not till 1893,
two centuries later, that the curse was
fulfilled. In that year Cowdray house
was destroyed by fire, and a week
later the last Viscount Montagu was
drowned in the Rhine
After the death of the last Lord
Montagu the Cowdray property came
into the possession of the viscount's
sister. Mrs. Stephen Poyntz. who soon
after receiving the estate lost her two
sons by drowning at Bagnor. On the
death of Mrs. Poyntz the property was
divided between her three daughters.

An Important Decision.

An important decision affecting the
banking law was made by the appel
late division of the supreme court in
Wulff VS. Roseville Trust company. in
which the court vacates an attach
ment in this state against the property
OF a financial institution in New Jer-
sey which has been closed by the
commissioner of banking and insur-
ance. The court held that New Jer-
sey law relating to the closing of n
bank by the commissioner is similar
to the provisions of the New York
banking law and that the commission
er is deemed to have become vested
with the title to the assets of said in
stitution as the trustee of an express
trust" The court says that "in such
a case no creditor is permitted to OBJ
tain a preference over others or to OBJ
tain lien upon the property of the
banking institution after the commits
sioner has taken charge thereof"
