BARREL OF WINE
Cause of Lengthy Trial in Superior
Court Wednesday-CIaim That Con-
signment from Greece Was Damaged
in Unloading.

The case of Yonclas against Weeks
was heard in the superior court We'd
nesday morning, with Judge James H.
Webb occupying the bench. The case
was a suit for damages for the loss of
a barrel of wine which the plaintiff
claimed was lost through negligent
handling of the barrel by the defend
ant in delivering it.
Peter Yonclas, the plaintiff, testified
that his cousin, George Yonclas, sent
to this country three cases of olive oil,
a barrel and a key of wine, from his
home in Greece; that they arrived in
this city in good condition, and the
barrel was lost in unloading into the
plaintiffs cellar. He was upstairs in
the house when he heard loud noise
and went down to investigate.
He sail the wine was worth $3.50 a
gallon and the duty amounted to $62.32,
freight and storage charges $1.79. OF
this amount, plaintiff paid by check for
The railroad bill, check, and notices
from the company, together with one
or two letters written to New York
parties. There were about 81 gallons
of wine. The duty charges included
dnty on olive oil, which was not
claimed by the plaintiff.
The cross examination was chiefly
concerned with an attempt to separate
out the freight and duty charges on
the barrel of wine from the balance of
the consignment, and to dra won't an
admission that the goods were in bad
order when received at the railroad
station in this city.
Edward S. Wyatt of this city, chief
clerk for the New York, New Haven
and Hartford freight station, testified
that the barrel of wine was in good
shape When it arrived at the station,
except for a slight bulge on the top
head. The key was about one-quarter
the size of the key. Cooley, the
truckman, signed for the goods with
one barrel in bad order on account of
the slight bulge.
Mrs. Georgia Yonclas, wife of the
plaintiff, saw the barrel brought to
the house and unlOaded into the eel
lar. The witness had trouble in I'M
Outstanding the questions and making
her story ineligible, but her story
seemed to be that the boys unloaded
the wine quickly, one standing at the
top of the cellar stairs, the other at
the bottom, and the barrel got away
from them and rolled down the last
four stairs, breaking when it struck
the wall.
which John P. Demers was sworn as
interpreter and the examination con-
tinued. She said they dropped the
barrel in lifting it from the wagon and
it left a mark on the ground where it
fell. The rest of her story was about
as told previously. The head of the
barrel came out when it struck the
wall. No skids, ropes. planks or chains
were used by the men, only their
hands.
Samuel D. Snow, painter, of this city,
testified he was painting the Yonclas
house at that time, and when he got
to the house he saw the barrel with
both heads out. and there was an odor
of wine on the premises. He did not
examine the barrel heads.
Charles Baker, an expressman, of II
years experience in heavy trucking,
testified he had examined the premises
and gave the location of the stairs. He
said he noticed the dent in the wall

away from him while being lowered,
but stated that it burst

the stand and testified briefly as to the
proper handling of such freight. The
plaintiff then rested.
Ellery P. Weeks was the first wit
ness for the defense He stated that
Mr.. Yonclas told him not to move the
barrel until Yonclas had inspected 1t,
as it had been long time in transit.
Later he said the plaintiff told him he
had made arrangements to take 1t on
approval. He took the barrel to his
shed and kept it over night, as it was
too hot to move it that day.
Mr.. Weeks said one of the heads
was sprung and the wine was oozing
out.
Bert NJ. BigeIow. employed as team
ster by the American Thread COM
pany, told of seeing the barrel at the
railroad shed and the top was wet, as
was the moor around II.
Michael Casey, who was one of the
two who unIoaded the barrel at Yon-
clas' house, described the method used,
claiming care was exercised, but the
barrel burst when they had it part
way down.
P. A. Weeks also testified, claiming
the method used in unloading was a
proper one.
After brief arguments by the attor-
neys, the court took the papers and
reserved judgment.

heard.
