In the damage suit of David Grif.
tn of South Canon against Frank
Gable of Colorado Springs, which was
heard by Judge Cavender in the dis
trict court here on Wednesday, the
jury was instructed to return a YER
diet for the defendant on the ground
OF the insuffciency of the evidence
tending to show his culpability in
the matter at issue.
The suit was brought by Mr.. Crit
fifth to recover damages in the sum
of one thousand dollars for injuries
alleged to have been sustained in an
accident on Lincoln Park in February.
1914, for which, it was contended, the
defendant was responsible. While
waiting to drive the family carriage
through gate into his premises on
Elm avenue MIR. Griffith, it was as,
serted. was run into by an automo-
bile driven by Sir. Gable and violent
ly thrown from the vehicle. Mr..
Griffith sustained a broken arm and
other injuries that prevented him
from doing any work for several
months. In addition two of his daugh-
ters. who were with him in the car
rfage- at the time, were thrown out
with great force and another daugh.
ter hurled from the back seat of the
vehicle TO the front one by the force
o7 the impact. All of the occupants
were more or less seriously bruised
and the carriage partially wrecked by
the affair.
After the evidence for the plain
tiff had been submitted to the jury
General Maupin, attorney for the de-
fendant, asked the court for direct,
ed verdict for his client on the ground
that the testimony had failed to show
that Gable had anything to do with
the driving or operating of the auto
mobile that had caused the accident
General Maupins motion was grant
ed and a verdict for the defendant
was returned and the case dismissed

SAM DUTTOn VISITS
OLD MkUnfS IN TEXAS

Sam F. Dutton and Ex-Governor.
Jesse Mcdonald, of Denver, recently
visited Houston. Texas, where they.
were guests OF honor at big Cham
ber of Commerce banquet.
The Houston Chronicle gave a
column of complimentary remarks to
these gentlemen, from which the fol-
lowing was taken:
The expressions Of MIR. Sam +.
Dutton were wonderfully compliment
tary to Houston. He spent the arst
important years of his business career
down in this section as manager of
the Harvey eating houses, and at one
time owned hotel in one Of the small.
Ter towns in East Texas. Repeatedly
he said to Ex-Governor Mcdonald.
1t looks like city of 5000 people,"
and then he turned to Tom Richard
son and said: Tell me, where am /;
come and take walk with US and let
me find out just there | stand" and
before leaving he equipped himself
with the Houston City Book, map and
other printed matters, and he kept
talking on the marvellous growth of
Houston.
In walking around the city trying
to find a familiar spot, Mr.. Dutton
remarked when looking up in admira-
tion at the Rice Hotel: When l lived
here l used to walk from the Central
Depot up to the capitol, for | did not
have money with which to ride, and
get some breakfast Now when look
at this lS.story structure, can not
keep back the wish that might have
had it in Denver this year for it could
have been filled to overfowing for a
long time. No other city of anything
near the size of Houston has such a
pretentious hotel. 1t will De of won
derful benefit to Houston as a city"
After leaving Texas Mr.. Dutton To-
Gated in Denver, and he is one among
the best known hotel men in the Unit
ed States. He is an intense patriot
nationally and has spent a vast sum
of money and time in the See Ameri.
ca First movement He was the
chief factor in bringing about the
national organization OF hotels in the
United States. There are none of
ne greater cafes and hotels of New
York City, the famous resorts OF the
ntry that equll the Albany OF
Denver in variety and whole-souled
welcome OF its constant entertain
ment. Sam Dutton has initiated more
new ideas and has given a greater
number of interesting musicales and
other programs than any other hotel
manager anywhere. There is some
thing novel and delightful every even.
ing: the great singers and artists OF
the country are seensand heard there:
It is not only the gathering place OF
the people OF the Rocky Mountain dis.
trict, but from all over the country.
and this yea has been the greatest
in the history on account of the enor-
nous travel between the older sec
tions of the country to and from Cali
fornia, making colorado points impor
tant stopping places.
'Afr. Dutton and United States
Senator Thomas NJ. Patterson were
chiefly responsible for securing the
democratic national convention for

vas his duty to pay more than anyone

THAW Case ARGUED to-day
Supreme Court Justices Express Doubt
Whether White Slayer Can Be
Taken Back to Matteawan

New York, March 26.-Two justices
of the Appellate Division of the Su
preme Court agreed to-day that thert
was doubt in their minds whether the
State of New York would be within its
rights in 'pouncing' upon Harry X
Ihaw, after his acquittal here on the
conspiracy chGrge on which ne was ex
tiadited from New Hampshire and re-
turning him to the State Hospital fol
the Criminal Insane at Matteawan
They were Jutsice Ingraham, presid
ing, and Justice Scott. To voice Their
views they interrupted Franklin Ken.
nedy, special deputy attorney general
in charge of the State s case against
I'haw, while he was arguing before ,hc
Appellate Division against an appeal
taken by Thaw's counsel from de.
cislon of Sp rene Court Justice Page
refusing mo.ion to return Thaw TO
New Hampshire.
Counsel for Thaw had alreadv pre-
sented their arguments, w..I.I were
based upon the contention that Thav
having been eXtradited from New
Hampshire tn answer charge OF
conspiracy and havin! been freed of
that charge, should be returned forth
with to the State from which he was
extradited. Mr.. Kennedy thea began
his argument, contending that even
though\ Thaw had seen acquitted the
fact remained that he was now with
New York 5 jurisdiction: and as the
original commitment upon which he
was sent to Matteawan was still valid
he should be returned there.
81 am in doubt aS TO the rights of
the State of New York to bounce
upon Thaw following his acquittal of
crime and then return him to the
State hospital for the criminal in
sane at Matteawan. l believe most
citizens of this State would regard
such action as dishonorable.
1.-The question involved in this ease
is whether the State of New York can
with honor hold Thaw on the commit
ment subsequent to his second trial,
after he was extradited from New
Hampshire for a specific crime and
found not guilty, when the commit
ment ordered his return to Matteawan
ON charge that is not extraditable "
Justice Scott agreed with Justice
lngraham and informed Mr.. Kennedy
that the question at issue was not SO
much the return of Thaw to Mattea.
wan as maintaining the honor of the
State of New York.
Mr.. Kennedy replied:
"The question of the honor and
good faith of the State is not inyolv-
ed, The State tried Thiw in good
faith for the offense for which he was
extradited. There is no State or fed
eral statute which protects him from
the original commitment.
Justice Ingraham remarked that
there was no question of the legality
of the commitment and that the only
question at issue was whether the
State had right to return Thaw TO
Matteawan without first permitting
him safe passage to New Hampshire.
Upon the conclusion of the ar2u-
ments decision was reserved. 1t was
considered probable by attorneys con
nected with the case that the decision
might be handed down next week.
