Reserve Decision
In Case Stearns
Against Silver

Decision in the civil suit of Edward
X. Stearns of 8 Myrtle street against
samuel B. Silver of this city was re-
served by Judge Charles w. Atchley
when the case was heard In municipal
court yesterday afternoon. The action
was brought by Stearns to recover $3S
which he claimed was owed him by
SILVER for some carpentry which he
had done.
Is l.. Levine, was the first to take the
stand. His story was that last sum-
mer Stearns rented from him a house,
the stipulated price being $40 month.
After the house had been occupied for
short while Stearns offered to do the
necessary work to convert barn con-
nected with the house into a number
of garages. Silver wanted this work
done and agreed to pay Stearns s35
when the task was completed. In two
months the work was finished and Sill
yer said that he paid Stearns S3S, the
So extra being for some grading that
had been done, by deducting the money
from the rent that was owed him.
Shortly after this Stearns moved from
the house without, according to the
defendant. giving notice. Silver de-
manded a months rent in place of the
notice that should have been given,
and this was paid.
Stearns had as his attorney George
K. Chapman of Fairfield, and 1t was
his contention that all the rent due
had been paid in cash and that he had
never received any payment for the
work he had done on the barn. He
said he had paid the money for the
notice because he feared his wages
hSa r>YyC fn L. ,S,s t1,n%
he had asked Silver for his money and
that the reply had been that payment
would be made when the latter found
time to settle the matter He was srue
that he had never received receipt
from Silver unless he made cash
payment. The plaintiffs wife was
also on the stand and her testimony
was in substantiation of that of her
husband. Both claimed that the re-
ceipts we're somewhere in their house
but that they had been misplaced.
