Trial OF the suit of Isaac Kirman of
Norwich Town against George w. Ma
honey of this city was begun in the
superior court here on Wednesday az
ternoon at o'clock before Judge Will
liam L. Bennett and a jury, the action
being brought for $500 damages on
claim made because of the arrest of
Mr.. Kirman at the instance OF MI
Mahoney on May IL, 1912. Mr.. Kirman
claims that he was arrested needlessly
and upon a false charge and that his
reputation had been damaged.
In the complaint drawn by his attor-
ney, V. p. A. Quinn, who is assisted
in the trial by Judge John H. Barnes,
ii is claimed that on May IL, 1912, Mr..
Mahoney stated to John d. Hall, prose-
cutting attorney for the city court of
Norwich, that Isaac Kirman had hired
q horse from Mr.. Mahoney and had
committed the crime of cruelty to an
imals and procured from Mr. Hall a
complaint charging Mr.. Kirman with
overdriving, overworking and cruelty
beating a horse of the defendant. The
plaintiff was arrested on this charge
in New London while a passenger on
board steamer bound for New York,
where he was to consummate a BUSH
ness deal, and Mr.. Kirman was brought
to Norwich, where bail was furnished
for his appearance in the city court on
May IS, 1912. Upon appearance in the
city court for trial, Mr.. Kirman was
acquitted and discharged by the court
without Mr.. Kirman offering any evil
dence.
It is claimed that the charge made
against him was false, that there was
no reasonable or probable cause for
The prosecution. and that Mr.. Mahoney
made the charge from motives OF
malice.
The claim is made in the complaint
that the prosecution has injured Mr.,
Kirman in his business as a real estate
agent, in which he necessarily has to
hire many horses. and has caused
many persons to cease putting their
property into his hands for sale, has
injured his reputation and has cost him
$50 in conducting his defense.
A second count in the complaint al
leging SANDER was dropped. This was
based upon an alleged conversation In
June, 1914, in which it was claimed
that Mr.. Mahoney said in the hearing
OF divers persons in Norwich: Isaac
Kirman is no good. He overdrives
horses let to him. l had him arrested
for cruelty to animals, for overdriving
a horse he hired of me; don't let him
hire any horses of you. 1 wouldn't let
him have any more horses of mine
Testimony is Given.
AS the first witness, the plaintiffs
counsel called on Albert j. Bailey,
clerk of the city court. He produced
the court records of the case when Mr.,
Kirman was arrested in May, 1912.
Mr.. Bailey was followed by the
plaintiff, Isaac Kirman, who testified
that, he was real estate dealer and
