Sully three years ago, by reason of financial reverses converted Kenneth Ridge, his summer home at Watch Hill, Into a modern hotel con- ducted by 'Mr. and Mrs. Sully. The Sullys resided in the town of Westerly when the head of the family was known the world over as the Cotton King. Westerly people are interested in the result of the recent proceedings brought by Mr. Sully against John Hays Hammond in the supreme court for the District of Columbla. The court awarded a verdict for $30,000 punitive damages, sald to be the lars- est_amount ever assessed by a jury against a defendant as punitive dam- ages or “smart money." Mr. Sully sued for $1,500,000, virtual- Iy charging Hammond with slander and defamation in a controversy aris- ing over the ownership contracts of a newly patented cotton gin. Justice Gould instructed the jury that it could not award Mr. Sully any such com- pensation for any loss that he may have sustained and that their sole province was, it they first found that Mr. Hammond’s act was intentional, malicious and wanton Wrong, to assess punitive damages as punishment for the wrong inflicted. This suit has atracted wide attention among the legal fraternity as it was surrounded with many unusual fea- tures. It was the second trial of the case, the jury having disagreed at the first trial. The present suit has been running continuously since the begin- ning of the vear and the defendant adopted the unusual course of placing no witnesses on the stand, alth4Nsh several ‘were kept on hand In case it should be deemed wise to change this Drocedure. They rested their case, however, entirely on the plaintiff's presentation of it. Mr. Sully was on the witness stand 27 consecutive days. He claimed that at the time he made contracts with the General Cotton Securities company for the sale of stock issued on the cotton gin_invention, Mr. Hammond was his partner, and that, later, by false and malicious statements as to his charac- ter and his connection with the com- pany, Mr. Hammond prevented him from’ realizing the benefits of his con- tract. On the witness stand Mr. Sully bit- terly attacked Mr. Hammond's charac- ter for veracity and also his standing as an engineer, as did his lawyers and the verdict handed down Saturday aroused much interest and comment. Judge Gould, in his instructions to the jury, said, resarding the possibility of a verdict involving compensatory damages, that there was no way in which they_could be estimated, as the value of Sully’s contracts with the General Cotton ‘Securities company was, of course, entirely conjectural. The first hearing of the case, after lasting about six weeks, ended in a mistrial. The gossip at the time was that 11 of the jurors inclined to a verdict of $500,000 for Mr. Sully. Justice Gould of the supreme court of the District of Columbia refused to direct a_verdict in favor of the de- fense, whereupon the defense decided to rest the case on the evidence of the plaintiff.

STONINGTON Town Court Prisoner Goss to Jail— Funeral of Albert Fritz, J For years since the abandonment of Stonington as a steamboat terminal the steamboat wharf has been utilized as a berth for steamers of the sound lines that were not in operation. Since the demolition of the steamer City of Worcester, in her day the Queen of Long Island sound, when commanded by the late Horace Lanphere, the Ston- ington steamboat wharf has been practically abandoned and growing into gradual decay. There is consid- erable property connected with the wharf which has become just so much waste land. There is no better site on the Atlantic coast for a big manufac- tu industry, and rumor has it that the rallroad company has no farther use for the property and is making an effort to have a big industry located in the borough. If this should mate- rialize it would be but a short while until the borough would return to its old time industrious activity. Stonington Pointers. Thomas Venette and family, who have been visiting relatives in Ston- ington borough, returned Saturday to their home in Derby. ‘William S.

PLAINFIELD Candy, Cigars, Etc, Stolen from Dearnley & Clarke’s Store—Evident Attempt to Burglarize Another Store —Stamp Book Found at Station. Dearnley & Clarke's store on Rail- road avenue was broken into late Fri- day night or Saturday morning when Mr. Peltier, the manager, opened the store at .15 o'clock Saturday morn- ing he found that the glass in the front door window had been broken and that the store had been entered in this manner. After an examination Mr. Peltier found that all that he be- lieved missing were a few pounds of candy, cigars, cigarettes, pencils and postal cards and_about 30 pennies which were in the office. The which contained money, was touched. A book containing 5000 D. & C. trading stamps was also taken | hut was later found cn the railroad | station platform. Other articles may have been stolen as Mr. Peltier is un- able to tell just at present what was taken besides those mentioned. Fred Legare. who lives next door to the store, claims that at about 4 o'- clock Saturday morning his watchdog began barking and he got up to see what the trouble was but could see nothing. However, Saturday morning at 7 o'clock he found that the cellar window of Lavallee's 5 and 10c store had been taken out as if someone had been trving to gain entrance to the store. It is believed that this was the cause of the dog's barking and that the thief became scared and left this block and went to the Dearnley & Clarke store. The authorities were no- tified of the break. It is the beliet of many people here that the break is the work of younssters. The thief or thieves probably were men who land- ed in town on’ some late freight and broke into the store then took a freight out of town as the stamp book was found at the station.
