JURY FINDS IN
FAVOR OF FELCH
His Claim of False Representation IN
Suit Brought by National En-
craving Co. Sustained.

Claims of false representation were the
basis of the defense in jury trial before
Judge A. e. Cudworth in the municipal
court yesterday in the case OF the Ma
toinal Engraving Co. of New York
against Don w. Felch of Brattleboro
proprietor of the Quality Furniture Co..
and the iury's verdict was in favor of
Mr. Felch. The case was on trial large
part of the day, Attorney W. r. Daley
appearing for the plaintiff and Attorney
II. G. Barber for the defendant. The
Jury took the case soon after ) o'clock
and returned verdict in few minutes
for the defendant to recover his costs.
The evidence showed that an agent Mr..
Mallett, representing Mr.. Hart, proprie-
tor of the National Engraving Co, came
| here in june, 1918, and secured Mr..
| Felch's signature to contract to take
| the company's advertising service, con
ssting of four cuts a week and reading
matter to accompany them, for use II
newspaper advertising
There was no question but that the
contract was signed by Mr.. Fetch anc
was accepted by the company, but the
defendant claimed that he was induced t
sign through misrepresentation and re
fused to pay for the service, whereupoi
the company sued him to recover abou
ISIS.
Mr.. Felch's claim was that Mr.. Mallet
asked him to sign an application to hav
the material sent him for examination
which he did, and that Mr.. Mallett the
wanted him to sign paper defining tn
territory which the service was to cover
which was to include Brattleboro, keent
Mortified and Hinsdale. This paper Nj
Fetch said he signed but did not reat
being in hurry to wait on customer
relying on Mr. Mallett's statement as
it's nature, and it proved to be an iror
clad contract.
The plaintiff contended that the d.
Tense was manufactured, that the tran
saction by the plaintiff was done in
businesslike and straightforward wa
and that it was not reasonable to SUI
pose that Mr. Felch with his business e:
perience would sign paper witho'
knowing the nature of its contents.
The Jury consisted of Charles w. RE
ardson, foreman, Horton d. Walker A
