CLAIMS SPONGE
LEFT in BODY
So Royal A. Eggleston Is
Suing for Alleged NAL
practice.
HARD SUIT IS
IN PROSPECT
St. Johnsbury and Lyndon
Physicians Were
Defendants.

The case o. Royal A. Eggleston Of
Canaan, n. H., against Drs. Il. Fl. Ross
Of st. Jchnsbury and d. r. Brown Of
Lyndon was commenced this morning
m United States court at Montpelier
with several attorneys participating.
Mr.. Eggleston was represented by Da-
yid Potter Of st. Johnsbury, Murchie
and Murchie of Canaan and Raymond
Trainor OF Hartford, while Warren r.
Austin Of Burlington represented DR..
Ross and J. Rolf Searles, DIR. Brown.
The suit is brought in an effort to
recover 100000 damages claimed for
alleged malpractice. II Is claimed
that the defendants performed an oper-
alton on the plaintiff in March, 1910,
and that they left sponge, used in
connection with the operation, in the
plaintiffs body for period of over
three months; that it was not until
the sponge came to the surface after
three months of suffering and pain,
that it became known about the con
dition although it is claimed the de
PENDANTS knew all the time that the
sponge was in the mans body and that
they had sslost" it in the process Of the
operation. Another physician was
called to perform an operation. which
resulted in the sponge being removed
from the mans body. It is claimed
that although Eggleston was IS years
81 he 4
a great deal Of manual labor.
Almost an hour was spent this morn
ing in an effort To secure a jury, the
defendants taking exception both to
the manner in which the plaintiff ques-
toned the jurymen and To the deci-
sions of the court as to the question
ihg in an effort to find out whether
the jirymen were stockholders in an
company.
AT one point in the examination of |
the iuTymen to ascerthin If they could |
qualify, al. jnrymen were excused |
from the court room and DR.. Ross was
called tp the witness stand by the /
plaintiff and, there, under objection by |
the defendant, was examined to de- I
termine If he carried liability insur |
ance and. if 50, in what company. The
defendant had tried to prevent this /
appearing in the case, claiming that
he insurance company il not party

hat DR., Ross carried insurance in the
liability department Of the Aetna Life
Insurance company and that he carried

defendant to this examination on the
,round that IL was for the purpose of
the jury; but the case con-
inued. According to statement by

PRICES LOWER THAN BARRE =
After Price Cut at Westerly, Says the
Westerly Sun Article.

The following clipping from the
Westerly, X. J.. Sun of Jan. s explains
| in more detail the reduction OF the
price of Westerly granite. as was an
nounced in yesterdays Times;
Believing that high prices on gran
ite In tho rough and no orders means
no profit for the manufacturers and
no work for Westerly labor, there will
be big cut in the price Of granite
stock announced to the granite con
sumers Of the United States tomorrow
by Westerly granite manufacturers
'sThe granite business is dead, not
only in Westerly but in every granite
center iiss the country today, all due,
as the small dealer sees it, to the high
prices he IL obliged to pay for the
granite. People will not order eastern
stone to be cut elsewhere nor will the
cutting sheds Of the country order any
more stone than they have an immedi-
ate sale for. The result has been that
while the quarries have done some
quarrying during the last few months.
and have it at the edge of the holes
ready for the buyers. the stone does
not move The local labor. quarrymen
and cutters, have not seen as dull q
period IN long time.
"The first Westerly quarry to ap-
nounce cut in the price of the stone
is the Sullivan Granite company, and
IL is anticipated that the announce
ment viii come soon from the other
Westerly firms. Frank Sullivan for his
firm, announces a reduction of so, so
and ~ cents cubic foot, depending
upon the size OF the stone. The new
price for stone is less than 80 per, cent
higher than the 1917 price. v-
"The Westerly manufacturers. in
common with other granite men. have
asked labor to take 20 per cent cut
in wages, and the new prices on gran
ite. which are euaraflteed for two
wears, are made possible by this cut
and certain economies in quarrying,
besides giving part of the profit to the
consumer. Ii is believed that the prices
