Tho unravelllng OF The legal Oompli-
Gallons In the "stone dust cases" goes
on space.
In Superior Court yesterday Holmes
Jones, appearing as his own attorney,
had field day IN litigation. Two suits
against him, and two suits That ne
brought were before tho court.
In the suit to reployin .92i ton OF
stone dust, NvBsch sheriff Francis took,
or did not take; replevlnod, or did not

did not deliver TO them, was The nrst
to be considered. ]. Frank Ball was
attorney for tho Badors, and Jones ap-
peRred In person as his own attorney.
The court granted Jones Judgment OF

the Baders flle their pleading, 10 which
he would answer within ono day, pro
vlded the Badors would so 10 trial be-
fore the court or referee within two
days. Jones' ofler OF speedy trial was
not accepted, and the court disposed
of the case by giving Jones Judgment.
In a suit brought by Clifford A.
scruton. by foreign attachSont, against
Jones, Philip l.. Garrett was counsel
for SorutOn, and Holmes Jones appeared
for himself. In October last an attach
mont was levied upon s2,76S OF Jones

Frank l.. Speakman. attorneys for Bcru-
ton, went before The prothonotary on

ordered Judgment OF dismissal for
Jones.
Next tho stone dust iitigant took up
his suit against Scruton, and assured
that Mr.. Garrett intended In good faith,
10 defend that suit, Jones withdrew lns
motion for judgment.
The last case taken up was the suit
OF Jones against Bader, In which Jones
sues TO recover the value Of some pal

to Jones, paid for by Jones, but claimed

Judge Ball had left the court room
when this case was called, and Jones
said that he did not wish TO tako any
advantage OF the neglect Of his op-
Donenti that he would not press his mo-
tlOn for Judgment but would with
draw II, believing that tho situation
was now well understood by counsel,
and tha4 an answer would be fllod with
