Finding for Defendants in Case of St. Paul's Episcopal Church—Possibility of an Appeal. ‘When court came in Wednesday morning Judge Reed immediately read his decision on the motion made Tuesday afternoon to have the jury instructed to bring in a verdlet ‘for the defendants as had been asked for by them. The decision was quite a long one, but the pith of it was to the effect that plaintifts had not proven that the $10,000 had been raised within the year and he stated that as the su- preme court had ruled that the $6,000 voted by the bishop and the standing commitiee could mot be reckoned as a part of the $10,000 fund, as the com- mittee did not have it in its possession until after the year fixed by Mr, Board- man for raising the same had elapsed, nor could the certificates of stock that Mr. Hatch had placed in his deposit box be considered as a part of the fund, as he had never h- endorsement turned them toward the fund’s use, and in the event of death there would have been nothing to indicate that they were_part and parcel with the fund. In view of these circumstances the court announced that he would grant the motlon. requested and instructed jury to retire and bring in a ver- for the defendants. e jury was out only a few mo- ments and returned. with a verdict as instructed by the court, Mr. Hatch and the attorneys for st Paul's Episcopal church stated that they could not now say whether an appeal to the supreme court would be aken. It is generally believed here that if any ground can be found for taking an appeal that the higher court will be given an opportunity of again having 2 chance to declde the case, Court then excused the jury until next Tue morning and ordered court adjourned until this morning at Dr. F.
