H. Markham the plaintiff from interfering with the defendant until September 1.

After Mr. Cormican had assumed charge, he ordered the witness to cut some of down to 14 feet. He said he was nc- quainted with the prices of the vari- ous materials in building scenery, and he placed the damage done the scenery at $800. He also figured that it would be as cheap to purchase new scenery as to make repairs. Mr. Williams was asked Sexton how he figured the amount at $800. The witness said his know edge of the price of materials had brouglkt the conciusion. At this junce ture Lawyer Sexton acted like a real Missourian and had -to. be shown, wherewith Mr., Williams broughit from pocket a pdd and -pencil and com- menced the tabulation of cost. M. Williams said that about 1,000 feet of Iumber would be nec ry about $300, and 150 yards of canvas at 75 cents a yard would also be nec- essary. The remainder of the cosi would be consumed in labor painting. Mr. Williams was unable to answer the question of the defend- ant’s lawyer whether or not the plain- tiff was present at the time the cut- ting of the scenery was done.
