Father's Evidence. Stanley Stygar, father of the boy, was the first witness. He told of the condition of his sén before the: acci- dent and since that time. The boy himself was then called to the stand and told of how the acci- dent happened as he was on his way home from St. Joseph's school. He was going down Main street and had got to-a point below Ash street ‘when he was struck by the truck. When asked where he was injured he pointed to his mouth, left wrist and shoulder. The boy told of having trouble chew- ing since the accident. On cross - examipation he told the court that he was going in the same direction as the truck at the time and the truck was about opposite — him when it turned in. Was on Truck. John Lac, who was on the truck at the time of the accident, was of the opinion that the front part of the truck had struck the boy. The walk was very slippery at the time, being covered with ice. After the truck had been brought to a stop. over the walk the boy was found underneath with his shoulder caught under the rear wheel. He was frightened by the blood coming. from the boy's mouth and he went away from the place. Dr. Owen O'Neil testified to taking care of the_boy while he was at the hospital and to the extent of his in- juries. These consisted of a-crushed left arm and having the soft parts of the Jaw around the mouth pulled away. There was a fracture of the Dbones in the arm. Driver’s Testimony. John C. Hattin, driver or the truck, testified that as he was about to turn in the driveway he saw the boy run- ning down the street with his head down. When about eight feet from the truck the boy looked up and throwing his. hands. in the air he slid underneath the machine. The witness brought- the truck to a stop in about eight feet. In the opinion of witness the front of the truck could not have hit the boy. On craes examination the witness stated that he did not have any power on when he made the turn. After the accident he carried the boy into a store. When he first saw the boy the front wheels were over the sidewalk. Physicians on the Stand. Drs. Weldon and Wilcox_testified to the examinations they had given the boy in regard to his injury. Dr. John Weldon stated that he examined the boy B8uring the present month and found his lower lip to be drooping and affecting his speech. He also found that the boy could not open his jaws thefull space and that he could open them but a very little at first, but after some effort the mouth could be opened farther. In some cases this disfigurement was not permanent, es- pecially when the lip was affected by the nervous system. In this case the boy has no paralysis, as he can move the muscles of his face, but it does affect his eating food. It is probable that he will not recover, but this was not certain. By means of a surgical operation the lip could be brought back nearly to its normal state and by this his speech would approach the normal state. By an operation a piece of the lip _couM be taken out and the iip shortened ., On cross examination the doctor stated that he found no wound to in- dicate that the disfizurement had been made by an injury. Dr. Wilcox was of the opinion that the lip would always remain as it does at present, but an operation would remedy it to some extent, but would not close it. The operation would leave no scar on the outside. Testimony for Defendants. At _this point the plaintiff rested. Dr. T. R. Parker was put on the stand for the defendants. In the direct ex- amination the doctor agreed with Dr. Weldon us to the disfigurement and to the operation that could be performed. On_cross examination Dr. Parker stated that an operation would cer- tainly improve the lip and the boy's speech. He was not certain that the lip could be brought back but he was sure that no scar would be left on the outside, as the cutting would be done inside of the mouth. Verdict for $2,000. The court then took a short recess, after which the lawyers argued to the jury. After being out about one hour the jury returned with a verdict of $2,000 in favor of the plaintiff. Court then adjourned until this morning. OPENING GAME SATURDAY. Thread Company’s Baseball Team to Play New Britain.

Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati _authority, because a few drops of freezone applicd directly on a tender, aching corn stops soreness at once and soon the corn loosens so it can be lifted out, root and all, with- out pain. A quarter of an ounce of freezone costs very little at any drug store, but is sufficient to take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried, as it is inexpensive and is said not to inflame or even irritate the mg-n-muhm&c-wmzn Garden Club Meets. Garden club of the Plainfield Academy held its meeting Tues- day.
