Judge James T. Meskill was on the bench. Klett & Alling appeared for the plaintiff. The defendant was represented by HBd- ward L. Steele of Hartford. Paul Lacava, son of the plaintiff took the stand and testified that on August 28, 1916, the two Sarkasian brothers came to their store and picked out some stock consisting of leather and rubber heels. The broth- ers were engaged in the shoemaking business he said. One had a store on Capitol street and the other on Park avenue, Hartford. The men, the witness said, ordered an amount of stock and requested that it be sent to Capitol avenue store C. O. D. Paul said that he personally sold the goods to the defendant and that he packed them himself and that they were sent by an expressman. His day book was that the sales had been made. Con- tinuing he said that the goods were offered in court as evidence showing | TO THE PUBLIC: sent by an expressman named Fuller who brought back a check for $40. “Mr. Fuller came back Wwith the check. I put it in the bank and it i came back as it was not properly in- dorsed,” he said. He then stated that he went to the Park street store to see if the other brother would indorse the check. “I iscd to sell him more goods if 11d indorse the check,” the wit- 1 ated that there was a balance on hand before the sale of Aug. 28 and together with the balance of the sale in question the amount owed was $98.11. He testified that the defen- dant promised to pay the bill, a small amount at a time but failed to do so. Arthur Fuller, the expressman, tes- tified that he took the goods to the store on Capitol avenue and that Harry Sarkasin was not there. He went to his brother’s store on Park street and received the check there. Asked whom the goods were assigned to, he said, “That name always had me, I never could pronounce it.” Harry Sarkasian testified that he never ordered or received the goods and had no knowledge that his brother did. Peter Sarkasian stated that the expressman came to his store with another man and as his brother was not at his place he gave him a check for $40. He told the express- man that his brother would have to endorse it. he stated. He sald he never received the goods and to his knowledge his brother never received them. Harry Fronzin stated that he was with Harry at the corner of Capitol svenue and Broad streets one even- ng when they were stopped by Paul who asker him for the money. Ac- cording to the witness Paul stated that he was going to get the defen- dant. Paul Lacava again took the stand 4and denied that he had words with the defendant with the excention of asking for the bill. He said, “It's a lie,” and dared the witness to swear on the Bible that he said such a thing.
