sideration for 40 minutes, the jury in
the superior court here returned a YER
dict for $500 for the plaintiff in the
case of C. A. eager, Jr., administrator
of the estate of Arthur Desmarais,
against Jacob Gordon. The plaintiff
had sued Mr.. Gordon for $4,000 dam
ages in connection with an automobile
accident in which the machine driven
by Mr.. Gordon struck and injured Ar
thur Desmarais on the 18th of last
August in front of the drug store of
George M. Rathbone, at the corner of
West Main street and North Thames

Salem Mass, subsequently died in the
hospital from lockjaw.
The case was on trial three days last
week. When court came in on We'd
nesday morning with Judge Gardiner
Greene on the bench, Attorney J. J.
Desmond for the plaintiff concluded
his opening argument, which he had
begun last Thursday in the half hour

evidence was in. He spoke for 81 min
utes on Wednesday morning, and was
followed by Attorney c. V. James with
the first argument for the defendant.

ment for noon recess. Attorney Des-
mond took up the last argument for
the plaintiff after the recess and con-
cluded at 2.55.
Judge Greene devoted an hour and
five minutes to his charge to the jury,
reviewing the evidence in detail and
instructing the jury as to their con-
sideration of the facts produced by the
evidence and to the bearing of the law
in the matter.
He indicated to the jury that if
would be their first duty to decide
whether it had been established by a
fair preponderance of evidence that
the man Desmarais had been struck
by the automobile at the time and
place named. Having determined this
there would be the question to be con-
sidered whether the driver of the ma

In a recent letter to a friend in
Denver Captain J. 8. Greene of the
Nebraskan declared that he fully ap-
preciated the constant hazard at
tending the voyages of the ship which
he commanded. For several years
Captain Greene sailed out of San
Francisco around Cape Horn to Med
iterranean port. Later he visited far
eastern ports and during the last few
years was a captain on the Honlulun
a. passenger steamer which Piled be-
tween Honlulu and San Francisco. In
November all the steamers of the
company were pressed into service to
carry freight to European ports. and
Captain Greene was given command
of the newest, largest and fastest
vessel. His last was the fifth voyage
to London since his transfer and his
first accident, although he has told
many friends in Denver Of narrow
escapes from mines on previous trips.

chine was using due ana ordinary care
ana skill in the management of the
automobile or whether he was neg1-
gent. In this connection he reviewed
the evidence of Mr. Gordon as to what
he had done in operating the machine
at the time of the accident. He call
ed attention to the fact that Mr.. Cor
don had testified that as he approach
ed Thames square in the automobile
he was thinking of turning westward
on West Main street to go up the hill
and that he reached down with his
right hand to take hold of the lever to
throw into low gear and just as he
did so he saw two women on the
crosswalk ahead of him. Without
shifting gear he took his hand off the
lever and put both hands on the steer
ing wheel and avoided hitting the wo-
men, but he felt himself going straight
ahead and thought he was going to hit
the telegraph pole on the corner But
the machine missed this and smashed
UP into the window of the drug store.
Mr.. Gordon's testimony, the judge said,
was that he did not see either Des-
marais or Herbert H. Brown, the lat
ter having. been pinned up against the
window by the automobile.
The judge also discussed the testi-
mony which had been produced to
show the possibility of infection with
the lockjaw germ, either through dirt
or through the catgut used to sew up
the mans wounds, and he indicated
to the jury that there might be alter
native of their deciding that the de-
PENDANT was responsible for the in
juries of the plaintiff without his death
or for the injuries with death. He al
so discussed briefly the way damages
would be determined in amount if
the decision were to be for the plain
tiff and then put the case in their
hands.
The only relative that Desmarais
has is a sister living in Salem who
has been the one to push the case to
secure damages for her brothers
death. At the time Of his death he
had been working in a. mill and had
been boarding at Norwich Town.
The next case assigned for trial is
that of Loreto Roma against Thames
River Specialties Co.
