Merrill, the Well-Known Attor- ney, Sued for Sixty Thousand Dollors. The following news from a minne- apolis paper will be of interest to many Herald-Review readers, as Mr. Merrill is well koown throughout horthern Minvesota, and. especially in Aitkia and Grand Rapids where he has had considerable law practice. His friends hereaway will hope to hear that Mr. Merrill will not be forced to disgorge the $60,00C asked for by the plaintiffs in the action: Leader M. Crawford has brought an action against A. Y. Merrill, to col- lect $60,000 in damages because of the falling through of a contract. The plaintiff went to Merrill, who claimed to be the legal representative for Cynthia A. Lillibridge, lately .de- ceased, owner of the property then occupied by Hooker’s cigar factory, and the Kenfiedy biscuit factory on Third street. Mr. Merrill, the plaint- iff says, claimed to be authorized to sign the name of the owner toa pa per, and a contract was entered into whereby the plaintiff was to deposit $30,000 in escrow, also a bond for $50,- 000, and the owner was to furnish $20,00) to assist in the improvement of the property, $50,000 to be expend- ed. A lease for 90 years was con- tracted for at $6,000° per year and there were six days of grace for ac- ceptance. The plaintiff claims that he put vp the bond and the cash in the Hennepin County Savings bank, and that the owner, refused to live up to the contract, saying that Mer- rill had no authority to sign it. The reason she gave for refusing the con- tract was that she had conscientious scruples against theaters. The case will be tried at the next term of court, when tbe plaintiff, who was acting forthe Amusement Syndicate company of Kansas, will e bo show his losses and secure a yerdict.” What Berryhill Thinks.
