BUTTON GETS $500
nv ALIENATION CASE
w. c. Knight, Who Lost Suit in Wash
ington County Court, Is Expected to
Take the Case to Supreme
Court.

A verdict of $1,000 for the plaintiff
was the decision of the jury in Washing
ton county court Thursday afternoon in
the case of Worthen Button VS.. w. C,
knight in which it was claimed that
knight had alienated the affections of
Mrs. Button from her husband, Worthen
Button, so that Mrs. Button left her
husband about three years ago. The
arguments were completed on Thursday
morning, followed by the judges charge,
Which took about all of the morning, and
the case was given the jury before din
ner. They reported about $3.50 o'clock in
the afternoon with disagreement,
The court asked Foreman H. Il. Bad.
ger If they wanted any advice. He re-
piled in the negative. The attorneys
had conference, after which the court
instructed the jury further as TO the
liability of the defendant and then the
jury went again to their room in the
lower part of the county building. After
about an hours deliberation they report
ed that they were ready to appear again
in court and upon doing so they reported
that they had found the defendant liable
and that the plaintiff was, in their judg-
ment, entitled to recover $500 damages.
j. Ward Carver, attorney for the de-
fendant, had taken exceptions relative
to the introduction of evidence and, it is
understood, to the judges charge He
said last evening that the case will go to
supreme court
while the jury had the above case an
attempt was made to draw a jury in the
case of L. II. Miller VS.. Allen Belville.
Several talismen were called, so many,
in fact, that in the opinion of the court
it did not appear wise to go further along
that line, with the result that recess
was taken until this morning.
The jury was drawn this morning as
follows: +. 9. Bemis, Marshfeld; E. J.
Converse, Calais; Ira and d. w. Edison.
Montpelier; I. J. Ferris, Moretown; L.
G. Hammett, East Montpelier; F. w.
Nichols, Montpelier; Lewis Rock, North
field; i. V Wiley Barre Town; H. NJ.
Pierce, L. A. Hall, Montpelier and E. T.
Kellogg, Woreestef
The suit is brought to recover $500
and is relative to timberland and a mort.
gage which Mr.. Miller alleges to have
held on the property He claims that
mortgage which was on the property
was not transferred, as it had been prom
ised to be and that Belvile quit claimed
the property, thus causing Miller to suf-
fer the loss OF about $500.
