E s,e- VERDICT FOR PLAINTIFF IN SUPERIOR COURT Jury Awards Mrs. Allyn $1,135—First Brought in Two Verdicts, One for Plaintiff and One for Defendant. The entire day Tuesday was spent on the case of Mrs. M. E. Allyn vs. A. T. Miner, executor of the will of G. . Comstock, a snit for §: .20, for acting as nurse for the deceased | and caring for his home for a number of years. The arguments were fin- ished by Attorneys Hankey, Hull and Geary being heard, after which Judge Reed charged the jury in the superior court, It was not until 4.10 o'clock that they returned with a verdict, which was given by Foreman John R. Fowl- er. This proved to be a double ver- dict, awarding a large amount to the plaintiff, and a small amount to cover the rent of the plaintiff in the property of the deceased after his death. There was a conference between the attor- neys and the judge regarding this and it was decided that the jury should be asked whether they had taken into consideration the rent of the tenement occupied by the Allyns. Judge Reed informed them that he would require them to return to the jury room and strike a balance from the two verdicts, as but one verdict can be rendered. They returned to the room and again reported at 4.40 o'clock with a ver- dict for the plaintiff of $1,135, which was about the same as the first ver- dict for the plaintiff with the defend- ant’s verdict deducted. They stated that the rent had been considered in reaching the verdict. Judge Reed then excused them un- til this morning at 10.35 o’clock, when | the case of Howie vs. the New Eng- land Navigation company, a suit for $25,000, will be trled.
