Verdict for Town of Dunn

DIRECTED VERDICT
IN TROVER ACTION
defendant Wins in Case of Hastings
Against White-Damage Suit of Per-
ley Martin Against Vermont Auto
Sales Co. on Trial.

After being out but a short time yes
terday afternoon the jury in the case
of Mrs. Georgianna c. Bacon of Brat
tleboro, wife of Robert c. Bacon.
against the town of Dummerston.
brought in a verdict a little before 5
Q clock in favor of the defendant. which
allows the defendant to recover its
costs. This was suit to recover $500
for damages to the plaintiff s automo-
bile IN an accident in Dummerston Aug.
29, 1916. 1t had been on trial since
Tuesday
The ease went to the jury about 40
o clock yesterday afternoon and about
ID minutes later the jury returned a
verdict for the town, which allows the
town to recover its costs.
The evidence tended to show that on
the afternoon of Aug. % Mrs. Bacon
and her sister, Mrs. f. G.. Phillips of
Brattleboro, were driving toward Brat
tleboro and were on the fiat south of
the Bennett place, below where the
road branches off to Slab Hollow.
Road repairs were being made at
the time and the automobile met
road scraper drawn by pair of
horses. One of the horses was fright
|ened by the automobile and raised up
on his hind legs. The driver of the
road scraper said Mrs Bacon, who was
driving the ear, turned to look at the
horses and at that time her ear start
ed off the road. 1t struck an apple
tree and was damaged, but continued
on until it reached a tile sluicewav
under the road, above the end of which
was laid log lengthwise of the road
for safety. When the car stopped if
was astride this log, two wheels
dangling in the air several feet above
the ground. Had it not been for this
log the car probably would have over
turned
The plaintiff claimed that the road
was in insufficient repair and that the
town was liable by reason of not hav-
ing guard rail at that point, while
the town maintained that the accident
was due to negligent driving on the
part of Mrs. Bacon.
Arguments yesterday morning were
by Attorney Frank E. Barber for the
plaintiff and Attorney W. r. Daley for
the defendant, leaving for the after
noon arguments by ATTORNEY A. F.
.Schwenk for the defendant and Attor-
ney H. G. Barber for the plaintiff.
This morning the jury was drawn in
the case OF Mrs. Nettie Hastings and son.
