BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE, FIVE —_— VERDICT FOR $94,277.33 10 GRAIN HOUSE Reuter & Co. of Garrison Lose Heavy Judgment to Mill City Concern TRIAL LONG DRAWN OUT A judgment for $21,277.33 in favor of the Van Dusen Harrington Co. of Minneapolis and against J. A. Reuter & Co./of Garrison was returned by a jury in federal ¢ourt at noon Thurs- day. The trial, which began last Fri- day. niorning, was.one of the longest ‘on record in a civil action in the fed eral court for this district. The case went to the jury at/10:30:a. m. and by 11:45 a. m. the jury had reached its verdict; rendering judgment for the full amount claimed by the plaintitt, v+9,917.91 plus interest at seven per cent from September 1, 1917. | J. A. Reuter & Co:, who are engaged in various lines of business at Garri- son, among, other things acted as agents there for the Minneapolis com-| mission ‘company, which extended its local representatives a line of credit running as high as $20,000. The litiga- tion involved amounts covering al- leged losses in speculations made dur- ing the summer of 1917, in which Reuter’ & Co. acted as agents for lo- cal’ farmers and traded in flax futures through the’ Van ‘Dusen. Harrington Co. .The.Garrison company’s defenses were ‘that some of the transactions were purely specuiative and theréfore illegal and that in another instance the Van Dusen Harrington Co. had dis- regarded the defendant’s notice to can- cel:selling and buying orders. The Van Dusen Harrington Co. ‘Proved that insofar as it was con- cerned it-had no knowledge of the ‘speculative nature of the business, but believed its local agent to be dealing in grain. with a view to actual deliv- ery, and. that in the second instance the cancellations ordered by the Gar- rison company were not received by the plaintiff until after the transac- tions to which these cancellations re- ferred had been consummated. Andrew Miller of Bismarck and Judge Simpson of Minneapolis repre- sented the Van Duseh Harrington Co. James Manahan, former congressman at large from Minnesota, and R. L. Fraser of Garrison represented Reu- ter & Co. Much local color was in- jected into. the trial by Attorney Man- ahan, and the: examination of venire- men in impaneling a. jury and. the cross examination of witnesses for the plaintiff was at times.highly inter- esting.
