SUES MERCHANTS
FOR PROSECUTION
$500 DAMAGES CLAIMED
SHERMAN BIGGS, ACQUITTED
OF FELONY CHARGE, SUES
PROSECUTORS.

From Wednesdays Daily
Suit for 1900 damages against the
mercantile firm of Lyons Brothers of
Republican was filed in the Faulkner
circuit court today by Sherman Biggs,
following the dismissal of a felony
charge against the latter, alleged to
have been brought by the former.
Biggs was arrested on a warrant
said to have been sworn out by the
defendants, charging him with dispos-
ing of property on which there was
lien, the alleged offense being the sale
of bale of cotton, upon which the
plaintiffs claimed a mortgage. The
case was heard in the court of Justice
G. M. Easterwood yesterday and the
charge was dismissed.
Today Biggs, no longer defend
ant, becomes the plaintiff in case
in which he alleges that the prosecu-
ton was a malicious one. He sets up
that being brought to trial on a tel-
ony charge has been a source of great
humiliation and suffering to him and
that he was put to much expense ana
trouble to defend himself of the
charge. The defendants knew, he
charges, that there was no ground
for the charge they preferred against
him. The plaintiff asks judgment Tor
81 900 actual and $500 punitive dam
ages.
Robins & Clark are attorneys for
the plaintiff.

Many judge has been tempted to
make the same remark as that accred-
tied to a Scotch jurtst by the Dundee
Advertiser:
If brevity is the soul of wit, Judge
Taylor, K. c., has not many rivals
among his judicial brethren. Summing
up case at Liverpool which lasted
several hours, he said no more than
this: Gentlemen, you have heard
both sides. 1t is for you to say which
you believe" Often enough this is all
that judicial cummings up amount to,
but few judges have the courage to
sum up so summarily. Even this does
not represent Judge Taylor's best eff.
fort in the way of saving his breath. A
few years ago he delivered himself of
what is supposed to be the shortest
summing up on record. He turned to
the jury, raised his eyebrows inquir-
ingly and remarked: well, gentle
menu" The art Of brevity could no
further go.
