Sues for $4,000 Damages
Lola Matheney has filed suit
against Earl E. Keenear, GAINESVILLE,
E. B. Cook, New Philadelphia, and
A. B. Parmiter, in which she asks
damages in the sum of $4,000. Pc
tition states that on Sept. 10, 1888,
defendants Keenear and Parmiter,
went to the Elizabeth Matheney
home in East Bloom, where plaintiff
then resided. and under the color of
a search warrant, made search of
the premises, under the guise oil
seiZing certain squirrels caught out
of season, and for the purpose of ap~
pretending plaintiffs brother, How
ard Matheney for shooting said
squirrels out of season. Plaintiff
AYERS that on said date she was then,
and she now is, pregnant, and that
conduct of officers then was such as
to seriously injure her health, and |
has caused her great physical and !
mental suffering. Plaintiff AYERS de-
fendant Earl e. Keenear pushed her |
around in a rough and violent man !,
ner, used harsh and profane Ian
guage, and violently showed her in
to a chair and made threatening ges-
tsres. and she became hXsterical and |
nervous and has since suffered |
great nervous shock, and physical
damage and suffering. Plaintiff says
her brother, Howard Mathsney, was
arrested and pleaded guilty to the
offense charged, but that defend
ants have insisted that she or her
husband or her mother should have
been arrested, and either fined or
and the threats of this
made by the officers
against her and her mother, Lenna
Williams, have had an injurious ef-
feet upon her health, and it has
been necessary for her to have con-
stant medical care since Sept. 10, to
treat her nerves, and to try to cure
her hysteria; and has suffered severe
shock, and the health not only OF
herself, but the unborn child is
threatened with permanent injury.
E. B. Cook is the superior
officer of defendants Keenear and
Parmiter, and well knew condition
of plaintiff, and petition states he
has used 1T as an argument to have
her husband plead guilty of shooting
and possessing of squirrels, of which
he had no knowledge.
