Cancellation Issue In
Dry Goods Firms Suit

The case of w. T. Farley. w. d.

Tucker, all of Boston. dry goods
wholesalers under the firm name of
Farley. Harvey & Co., VS.. Damase
LaFond, retail dry goods merchant
OF Skowhegan, was opened Wednes-
day. In this case the plaintiffs seek
to recover damages for outing fan
mel, which they allege LaFond pur-
chased of them on the 9Th day of
March, 1920, and which LaFond as
serts, if he did purchase these goods,
he purchased with the privilege of
capcelling the order. LaFond also
says the price was guaranteed to him
at the time of the purchase. The
plaintiffs contend that LaFond had
no right to cancel thu order and pro-
duced correspondence in which they
wrote him that they could not per-
nit cancellation. The defendant con-
tends that he cancelled the order and
that, if it is proved that he did not
have a right to do so, the plaintiffs
tire at fault in not making the dam
age to them, for which LaTond is
liable, as small as possible.
Attorney George w. Cover of
Skowhegan represents the plaintiff
and the defense is being represented
by Attorney Amos K. Butler of But
ler & Cutler, Skowhegan.
The plaintiffs witnesses are George
A. Johnson of Waterville. the sales
man who is alleged to have sold the
goods. Farley, Harvey & Co.'S credit
man, Mr.. Richards. from Quincy,
Mass. the only witness for the de-
fense was the defendant himself, Da-
mase. LaFond. The testimony was
all put in and in this considerable
correspondence figured Wednesday
afternoon. The argument for the de-
fense was made by Mr.. Butler, after
which court adorned until $50 A.

finished 1t is expected that the civil
docket will be called Tuesday.
