Damages in Sensational Case.

A motion for a new trial in the
Moss Kessler case was filed today in
the office of Mrs. Mary E. Chaplin,
clerk of the district court, by John J.
for Moss. This motion followed the
rendering of $4,000 judgment
against John T. Moss late Saturday by
a jury in Judge James A. Mcclure S
division of the district court.
The motion for new trial was the
regular stereotyped affair of attorneys
claiming the discovery Of new evil
dence, the misconduct of the plaintiff.
an element of surprise and other cut
and dried reasons appearing in such
motions.
Oliver Kessler, Belvue blacksmith,
demanded $4,000 damages, 10000
actual and $4,000 punitive damages,
for the birth of a nameless child to
his daughter. Isabel, alleging Moss
to be the father. The jury after eight
hours elaboration awarded him $4,000
81 900 actual and $4,000 punitive.
The Kessler family. excepting Isa-
bel, was present when the jury was
present. Moss and his Aunt Mollie
Kessler and number of friends also
were in the court room.
While the jury was celebrating
Aunt Mollie Kessler filed a replevir
suit against Isabel Kessler and the
girls family for the recovery of the
diamond ring which the girl wore dur
ing the trial and displayed to the jury
asserting the ring was given to her by
John Moss Aunt Mollie" claims ir
her petition that the ring belongs tc
her.
The expense of the trial to Moss will
run into thousands of dollars, includ-
ing court costs. witness fees and attor-
ney fees. The trial consumed eight
days in Judge McClure's court and
was attended by hundreds of persons
Moss is the son and only heir of the
late Tom Moss. one of the wealthiest
and most influential citizens of St
Marys
THE small amount of damages al
lowed indicates that some members
of the jury believed Moss innocen,
and that the verdict is compromise

at all he should have been made te
pay $4,000 or $4,000 at least. Moss
is innocent and we are going to keep

ever slight. is a disgrace

letter to those persons asking support
for his plan.
Under the constitution Missouri
schools are allowed minimum of one
fourth of the money raised by taxation.

total raised, but it has not been

of rural schools in the state is laid
largely to low valuations of farm prop

Many rural districts have protested
against these low valuations, which
make it impossible for them to sup

Clayton r. Woodward, az years old
former cashier of the Federal Lead
Company. of Flat River, Mo-, who has
completed two years sentence in tie
Jefferson City penitentiary for the en-.
bezzlement of $1S6,000.
The request was made by the Gug.
genheim interests, who control the
Federal Lead Company, and who have
absolved Woodward frcm criminal in
tent for his defalcation.
They have offered to restore him to
his former position and will appoint
him head of new South American
enterprise to be financed by the Gug-
genheims. In order to obtain pass
port it is necessary that Woodward's
citizenship be restored.
The case Of Woodward was one Of
the most remarkable in the criminal
annals of Missouri. AS the trusted
bookkeeper in control of the funds Of
the Flat River concern he had access
to large sums Of money.
No audit was ever made Of his books
and he and his family commanded the
respect of the community and his
employers. Finally a stroke of illness
came and Woodward became tempo
rarily blind.
Two years ago, shortly after the
United States Grain Corporation took
charge of the wheat markets of the
country, Woodward startled st. Fran
els county by confessing that he had
committed defalcations to the extent
of $186,000.
