A VERDICT AGAINST 4 TELEGRAPH COMPANY.— On the 5th of December, 1881, Edward Hayes sent a full-rate telegram from Waverly, Ohio, to this city to his wife. Somewhere between Wa- verly and Columbus the telegram was changed from a full-rate to half-rate.” It arrived here in the night, but under the rules of half-rate nies Sages, It’ was not delivered until the next day about 9 o’cloek. ‘The message was in these words: “sent twenty-five. Send letters to Chillicothe: am well.” As the m arrived half-rate, Mrs H. did not hurry herseif to mail the lettcrs re- quested; consequent they.did not set off until the night cf the stath. Hayes arrived in Chillicothe, and net finding the letters, was alarmed and re- turned to this city. He found his message a half- Tate instead of a full-rate, and_resolyed to sue the company: Suit was instituted before A.C. Rich- ards, ., for $49 damages; Guy H. Thompson for plaint:ff, xnd Nathaniel Wilson for defendant. After a well-fought battle a verdict was rendered ‘against the company for $38 and costs. It is said it the company will appeal. .
