Ziolzenes | SEALED VERDICT IN WESTERLY GASE Jury Instructed to Return One in Pucci-Saunders Suit— Italo-American Civic,Club Organized—D. A. R. Chapter Hears Report From Congress—Children Entertained at Grange. A motion for non-suit wes denied by Judge Charles F. Stearns in_the su- perior court sitting at Westerly Thursday, hearing the case of Theresa Pucel vs. Wayland Saunders, an action to secure $1,000 damages for medical services given her son because of in- juries alleged to have been received when the small boy, aged 4, was seid to have been injured by being struck or run over by the wagon of the de- fendant. The side of the defense was pre- sented Thursday, the principal witness for which was William J. Mellow, the young man who was driving the feam that is alleged to have struck and in- jured the Pucci boy. Mellow did not appear as a witness in the first trial for damages in a similar suit against Mr. Saunders, which resulted in a ver- dict for Mrs. Pucci in the sum of $500. According to his testimony, he was driving with two loads of coal, one a tipcart being attached to the other, and the four horses to the cart in front. Arriving at a spring, Mellow said he stopped the horses and jumped from the wagon to get some water. He said that he saw some children near the spring at the time. There were four of them and they were behind a wire fence. When he started back to his cart Mellow said he warned the chil- dren about jumping on the rear. Mel- low said that the first he knew of the accident was when the clerk of the Crumb quarry told him thet Mr. Sulli- van wanted him at the office. Mellow was positive that when he passed the children they were all behind the fence and not in the road During the afternoon session of the court the time was occupied by the pleas of the attorneys and the charge to the jury, the jurymen retiring at .30 with directions to return a sealed verdict. After the jurymen retired, the case of Abel P. Randall vs. Mary S. Bur- dick was called, the case having pre- viously been heard in the Third dis- trict_court. It is one on a book ac- count, in_which the plaintiff seeks to recover $341.30 for work alleged to have been done for the defendant. The Italo-American Civic club of Westerly, R.
