Main Will Go to Jury Today—Interesting Suit Followed by Many. ‘The common rrlul ecourt, with jury, was occupled all day Thursday in the trial of the case of Brown & Perkins vs. Main, the testimony being complet- ed, and the arguments will be made this morning, so that- the case will reach the jury today. - D. G. Perkins was recalled to the stand on Thursday morning, and was briefly cross-examined by Mr. Main, during which hedenied receiving $500 from Mr. Mam. He also sald aid not see how they lost the heifer case. In answer to Mr. Mgin, he said all a man 1s required to pay is 100 cents on a dollar. Ex-Mavor Thayer was called by Mr. Shields and,sald that the charges were very moderate. Mr. Maln oross-exgn- ined him briefly. Attorney J. Desmond stated that the charges were low, and told Mr. Main there was a fee table by which lawyers were governed. For appear- ing for two men in the criminal court where both pleaded guilty, he told Mr. Main he got $10 for a few minutes’ work, and in the Gallivan cese on the las trial he recelved 3275 from the state. Judge Lucius Brows, when caled, told of the firm's method of doing bus- iness. Feo was given a long cross-ex- amination by Mr. Main. The bill Yor $153.10, which Mr. Main claimed he re- ceived, Judge Brown denied, stating that they did not use such paper. The plaintift rested here. The only witness for the defense was Mr. Main, who had a large book In which he made record of his accounts. He claimed he did not do business with the firm_but with the members sepa- rately. His book showed where he had recefved a bill for $153.10, and he claimed he had paid-Judge Brown $3.60 and Mr. Perkins $200, and according to his books be does not owe the firm anything. By Mr. Main's book he paid $150 to Mr, Perkins December 81, 1901, in full for all work. and on January 7, 1902,.pald him $100 more. The latter he thought might have been for taking the case to the suprems court, and the fact that the amount was interlined he thought might have been due to for- getting to put fn the amount when he made the note. According to the fig- ures of Mr. Maln and those of the firm, Mr. Mjln had paid them more than demancrd. Mr. Main had a large magnifving glass in his pocket, which ha used to serutinize the Brown & Perkins ledeer. Mr. Perkins admitted that one item bad heen changed from $1250 to $15 Dbefore any bill had hen known to be sent to Mr. Main, hecause #he smaller amount was not considered sufficlent. Mr. Main thought the amount was ralsed from $10, after inspecting it with his glass. The testimony was completead and court was ndfourned untfl this morn- ing, when to_~arénments will be mada. There have hcen many in court to list- en to the case, two womm “‘being In the audlence Thursday. FUNERAL/ Mrs. Katherine Brennan. The bod yof Mrs. Katherine Bren- nan, mother of Mrs, Irederick C.
