WOMAN REJECTS $1,000

When Mrs. Clara Belle Ellsworth,
who was awarded a Judgment Of $4,000
against the estate of Dudley Reynolds,
formerly of Ncely's Landing, refused
70 accept the sum yesterday. Judge
Kelly granted new trial and the case
was sent to the Common Pleas Court
on change of venue.
In her petition, filed with the Pro-
bate Court, Mrs. Ellsworth asserted
that she had taken care of Reynolds
for number of years, for which she
received no compensation. Reynolds
died without making a provision for
the plaintiff and she brought suit to
get judgment against the estate.
In granting new trial upon the
motion of the attorneys for the Rey-
nolds estate, Judge Kelly concluded
that the verdict rendered by the jury
was excessive ard tried to compro-
mise with the defendant, saying he
would not grant a new trial if she
would accept one-half of the sum
awarded her by the jury.

Wilson Cramer Embalms the
Case When it Comes Up
in Circuit Court.
SUIT WAS A LEGAL
GIGGLE, LAWYERS SAY
Never Was Taken Seriously, but
the Comedian BehindIt Was
Never Found.

The joke election contest suit
brought by Henry ]. Brinkopf against
Sheriff n. J. HutSon was yesterday
dismissed at the request Of Wilson
Cramer, one of the attorneys for the
plaintiff. No reason was given for this
action by the plaintiffs attorney. 1t
is supposed that Mr.. Cramer did not
consider the case seriously.
The suit was called last week and
the Judge sustained a demurrer,
throwing the case out of court. He
gave the attorneys for the plaintiff
time to file a new suit, if they de-
sired. The time limit for the refiling
expired yesterday.
Brinkopf was defeated by Sheriff
Hutson at the last general election by
a majority of 49 votes. He filed the
contest suit on the grounds that more
than 300 illegal votes had been cast in
the entire county. OF this number
about 20 were alleged to have been
cast in Cape Girardeau.
An investigation made by the attor-
neys for Sheriff Hutson in Cape Cir
ardeau revealed the fact that nearly
all those charged by Brinkopf with be-
ing nonresidents Of the county and not
entitled to vote, were men who had
lived in the Cape for years and had
voted at every election.
The suit has been looked upon as
some unique variety of comedy, but
no one has yet been able to find the
comedian who was responsible for it.
