Individually, vs. John and Elia Monti — Antique Por- traits Presented Library—John E. McGann Retired on Pension By New York' Park Department—Twenty-five Stars on'Masons’ Service Flag. The cases of Dwight R. Stillman and Edward Stiliman, as executors of the estate of their mother, Catherine Y. Stillman, and - by them individually | against John and Elia Monti, an. ac-! tion of covenant to recover damages for breach of a lease for 10-years of stone-cutting sheds in Oak street, at $300 a year, were heard by Judge Barrows Friday in the superior court for Washington™ county, in session at Westerly. . Samuel H. Davis, counsel for plaintiffs, stated that the grew out of a ‘lease executed in lhe. spring of 1916, to be in effect in Mav | of the same vear. Later Mra. Still-| man died and the case is to recover| rental from, K May 1 to the time of Vre stiliman's death, -Oct.. 17, 1915[ The other case is for rental due from } that date to the dafe of the writ. Mr. Davis called Dwight R. Still- man to the stand and no other testi- mony was taken. Between his testi- mony, the concessions of his attorney, and the interjections of Judge Herbert W. Rathbun, who with John J. Dunn represented ithe defendants, it iwas plainly shown that the lease was not properly executed, and that there was ro legal delivery. It was shown far- ther that Mr. Stillman was not the authorized agent of his mother in con- nection with the.lease. which was ex- ecuted, according to the document, in Westerly and in Florida on the same date, April 17, 1916. It was also shown thatthe Monti's had never entered upon the property, but that it was their intention to sublet, and that Mr. Stillman_ withheld delivery of the lease, while he voluntarily acted for the Monti’'s in trying to eublet the property. While Mrs. Stillman_signed the lease in Florida, there was no proof that the document had been legally acknowledged. She cases mad progressed for an hour when Judgé Barrows said he would not oppose a motion for non suit, and to this Attorney Davis sg he had no objection. The judge 54 not- propose to granf such a. mojigh unless it was asked for. Judge Rath- tun, of ‘counsel .for defendants, .said there cases had been in court a long time and he favored definite settlemant and therefore would not move for non- Suit. He -sald no ecvidence for the defense would be introduced. Verdict in favor of defendant was granted in both cases. Davis for plaintiff, Rat bun and Dunn for defendant. The. court adjourned to Monday. morning at 10.30. ' 'he case of David Syme ag: Archibaia McNeil and wite ot Bos ge port, in gvhich an award of $4.730.77 was given by a jury in the superior court for Washington county at West- erly Thursday, Judge _Herbert . Rathbun making the argument for the plaintiff, was an.action. to recover for Tabor and material in connectian with the construction of a bungalow for Senator and Mrs. McNeil at Musicol Dy, near Westerly. The original con- tract was for $4,500, and up to,the present time the ,building has cost the McNeils $12000, which with the added verdict and other legal costs wilk bring the expenditure up to. at ieast $18,000. The case has been pending /in the Rhode Island courts for two years and during that time there have been sev- eral hearings. First before = Judge Chester W..Barrows in February, 1916.4 when a, motion for non-suit was granted. A second suit was brought | before Judge George F. Stearns and a jury. After the case was partially heard. it was decided to, make. George W. Connor, contractor. a’ partner of David Syme, a party to the suit, and the, case was passed. The case was néxt called before Judge John Sweeney and a jury. Cwing 'to a change in the attornevs for the defense, Hustice and Wilcox, there was. no appearance. -The case wds defaulted and judgment given for plaintiff. Before Judge George T. Brown, in the superior court at Providence, on motion of Senator and Mrs. McNeil, through their new attorneys, Whitman and - Fallon, the court was asked to have the default femoved. The hear ing 'was continued to Kingston .and the aefault was removed ana the case :eopened upon the defendant paying all costs and $50. counsel fees. After four days' trial this week at Westerly before Judge Barrows and a jury, verdict was rendered that the Pplaintiff receive full amount of claim, with interest at 6 per cent., a total of $4,730.77. The defendants relied on a written contract that the bungalow would be erected for $4,500, plus 10 por, cent., not includingthe eoat of the uilding_lot, but.due to changes and extras the cost was $12,000. The de- fendants also relied on a release given Feb. 20, 1915, which the _plaintifft ciatmed was sec: through fraud. | Evidently the yury. concurred with the claim. - From start to _finigh Junge Herbert W.: Rathbun and Attorney John J.
