File Motion for
New Trial after
Verdict for Plaintiff

The two cases of A. s. Burke Of
Shawmut VS. Frank Langlois also of
Shawmut and Frank Langlois vs. A.
S. Burke. which have taken the at
tention of the Supreme Court for two
days with Harold f. Weeks of Fair
field and W. Folsom Merrill of Show
hogan representing Mr.. Burke and F.
Harold Dubord, and n. A. Marcou
of Waterville representing Mr. Lang
lois were difficult for the decision Of
the jury because the two cases were
tried together and because of the ma
ture of the cases and amount of the
testimony. All testimony was put in
Thursday night and the attorneys
made able arguments on both sides.
With the opening of court Friday
morning Judge Pattangall for about
an hour and a half charged the jur-
ors with the law appearing in the
case and divided the matter for their
elaboration into four questions to
assist them In their work. The ques-
tons:
LIST, What, II anything, is due Burke
for extra items not included in his,
contract?
end. What. if anything is due
Langlois for money expended in COM
plotting contract work in addition to
$10S.S0 admitted by Burke?
3rd, What. if anything, is due Lang
lois for drainage because of failure Of
Burke to perform, in accordance
with the terms of the contract, such
parts OF the work as he actually did
perform?
4th. Was the failure to complete
the contract the fault OF Burke or
was it caused by Langlois' refusal to
permit Burke to continue the work?
One instruction given by Judge
PattanealI was that if the contract
was modified orally after it had been
signed the modification would hold
bv law. In a most explicit manner
Judge Pattangall went into the intri-
cacies Of the case in an endeavor TO
make the law applica BILE in the two
cases as plain as possible. and stated
that when they had been able to
answer the four questions he would
again instruct them in further dellh-
erations and the jury retired at II
o'clock. They were served dinner at
the court house.
The jury at o'clock came in and
answered the four questions as fol-
lows: list. S66.25: 2nd, $3.50; 3rd,
$1,000. and 4th, Frank Langlois. At
ter further instruction by Judge they
brought in verdicts in the two cases
as follows: Burke VS. LanSlois,
s1491.13, and Langlois vs Burke $1,000.
Attorney Dubord and Maroon attor-
neys for Frank Langlois filed a mo-
ton for new trial.

nected with the case. This case was
