pied today with the case of the

c. White. The case is a charge Of
petty larceny from the Barber
Lumber company at Barberton, in
volving a coat, canned milk and a
bar and a half of chocolate, in all
valued at $40.
The Importance Of the action lies
in the meaning which it may have
for the defendant.
The case Is complicated and other
associates and workers at Barber
ton are involved. Constable Thorn
stated that in securing the jury
he refused to accept a negative
answer and made it necessary for
those called to appear with ex-
cuses before the Judge.
Some Of the merchants thus
serving stated that it is their

In point of attention and consid-
Grafton which they are giving the
case they may be compared to the
