NICHOLS Won
800 VERDICT
Jury Found That Grant Lane Had Made
Misrepresentation in Sale
of Farm.

| In Washington county court lat
Thursday afternoon the jury in the cast
of Frank Nichols against Grant LAM
returned verdict in favor of the plain
| tiff to recover 81 500 damages for fals'
representations which the plaintiff al
legged that the defendant made when he
| sold Nichols farm in 1915. The jury
was out but a short time.
The court had explained to the jury
that if they found that the defendant
did say there was not better land in
Vermont" they could return verdict on
that ground and the jury returned a
special verdict of $3.50 on that ground
The court explained secondly that il
the jury found that the defendant did
say that "the farm would keep 40 cows, y
then they could return special verdict
on that, and the jury returned a verdict
on that ground of $3.50, making a total
of 81 500 Both sides took large num-
ber of exceptions and the defendant has
not vet decided whether he will avail
himself of these and carry the case to
supreme court.
The work in the court went to pieces
this morning when the announcement
was made that the case of Frank f.
Markham against Arthur Boyce had been
settled and discontinued. The witnesses
in this case had been called from Fays-
ton and the case was ready for trial
The plaintiff sought to recover 81 900
damages for injuries received by the
horses of the defendant running away
last fall, but the case was settled for
$50. The principal witness for the plain
tiff had gone to war and could not tes-
tify in the case.
The next two cases were continued
These are Asa Tyrell against Moses Cos
ant, in which the plaintiff seeks to re-
'over money for damages done in an
accident last July. The 9TH
,ase is that of Antonio Bonazzi against
1. f. Fortney. This leaves but three
'ases for the jury work, none of which
vas ready this morning, and the jury
vas excused until 2 o'clock Monday aft
rnoon. The three remaining cases are
Peter BcClair against the Montpelier and |
Wells River railroad; In re J. D. Clog |
ton estate and Angie Frattini against
'harles Zaneloni.
