TWO0 GASES BEFORE SUPERIOR COURT| Settlement Made Without Trial in Cohen vs. Thayer, Suit Over a Note—Trial Begun in Bucklin vs. Root on Claim Arising From Real Elhte Deal. s e In the superior court at New Lon- don on Tuesday morning the case to be called up for trial at the opening g court was that of Clarence 5 ohen vs. Charles F. Thayer, which is a contest over the payment of a note. When court came in Attorneys James and Brown for the defendant stated to Judge Joel H. Reed that they had received a letter than morning from Philip E. Hendrick in New York, an important witness. that he was w abie to be present on account of ill- ness and asking a continuance. At- torneys for the plaintiff said that they had come prepared to try the case and asked that it be tried. Judge Reed said that while he wanted to treat everyone fairly and give them a chance he did not think that the ecase ought to be continued in view of the fact that the witness had given no more specific evidence of his inability | to be present than a letter, and ruled that the case be tried. Attorneys for the defendant then requesied a few minutes in which to confer with opposing counsel -with a view to adjustment, at the conclusion of which it was announced that the case had been settled. The case of Bond et al. vs. Littre- fleid et al, down for trial as the first case Wednesday morning, was assign- ed for next Tuesday by request of counsel. ‘The next case taken up was that of Edward E. Bucklin. and Clara A. Bucklin of- Mystic against Edward L. Root of this city, formerly of New London. The plaintiffs bring suit to recover. $6,000 which they aliege was paid to the defendant in a fraudulent land transaction. The plaintiffs are mother and son. They claim that Root formed a part- nership with them to purchase real estate in Jamaica L. I, from Arthur P. Hilton of New York, and, that they advanced him sums of money at vari- ous times, amounting to nearly $6,000. They allege that the transactions were made by fraud and misrepresentation, in that Hilton did not own the prop- erty to which they were supposed to have received the title. The two plaintiffs were witnesses, Mr. Bucklin testifying to being ap- proached by Mr. Root regarding the deal and of the money which he paid Mr. Root. Mrs. Bucklin corroborated his testimony.
