who was successfully shown as an
open jumper, again became a possess
sion Of Mrs. Nancy Holcomb AndSr-
son.. a member of the socially pro-
minent Holcomb family of Water

Judge Richard s. Swain today hand
ed down decision for Mrs. Ander-
son IN her replevin action against
Isadore Winters, we'll known former
Yale university wrestling coach.
Damages Of 81 also were awarded to
the plaintiff,
The plaintiff claimed she boarded
the horse with Leon Beck, Middle
bury stable manager, paying $40 per
month from the latter part of 1899
until June, 1943 She claimed that
last July she learned the horse was
no longer at the stables there. but
has been removed to the defendants
stables in West Haven.
Beck alleged from the witness
stand that the horse had been given
to him as gift by Frederick Hol-
comb, father of the plaintiff. The
defendant claimed he paid $500 to
Beck for the horse.
Judge Swain stated in his memo
randum of decision that 1t was APP
parent that Mr.. Holcomb never gave
Mr.. Jorrocks" to Mr.. Beck and that
the plaintiff was the owner Of the
horse.
The decision pointed out that the
horse was 10 years old and touched
in the wind, the latter, term used
to denote a particular physical dis
ability Of horse. 1t also Is pointed
out that Beck in 1888 valued the
animal at $4,000.
The judge points out further that
the defendant knew the history Of
the horse and knew who owned him,
and points to the defendants tes-
timony that he had tried several
times to buy the horse but couldn't.
The defendant will have to pay
the taxable costs connected with the
replevin, the court ruled.
