Late on Thursday night in the su- perior court at New London the end of the ninth week-of the trial, the jury in the case of Huber & Chittenden vs. H. R. Douglas, Inc, and D. S. Marsh, all of New London, brought in a ver- | dict that Huber & Chittenden recover $23,500 from the defendant Douglas, Inc, but gave a verdict in favor of the other defendant, Marsh. The suit was brought for $40,000 damages. The trial has been one of the long- est and hardest fought in the superior court for a number of terms and on account of numerous complicated legal questions involved has excited the at- tention of the legal fraternity general- ly. The long trial, which has been held before Judge Gardiner Greene | and a jury, has absorbed almost the whole time of the term and has pro-l longed the court session far beyond the usual limits, so that the criminal | term has had to be put off until this case was out of the way. The case reacheq the jury about noon on Thursday after a charge of After an hour of deliberation on the part of the jury, Judge Greene directed Sheriff Sidney A. Brown and Deputy Sherifft Tubbs to take the men to din- ner. At 2.30 the jury was back in the jury room and remained in constant session until 6.35, when they were al-| lowed to go to supper in charge of | Sheriff Brown. At that time they said that they haq agreed upon their verdict, all except as to the amount of damages to be fixed. After their return again to the jury rocm, it was 9.35 before they had com- pleted their verdict and were ready to present it to Judge Greene. Huber & Chittenden, who were ten- ants on a five years’ lease in a store in 1 the Cady building on state street, in | two hours delivered by Judse Greene. | {in whose favor a verdict was rendered, Marsh, Who Also Was Made | New London, brought suit for dam= ages to recover for a stock of dry- goods and other merckandise that was buried in the ruins when the Cady building collapsed in a heap at 6 p. m. on the 20th of June, 1916, just as one of the members of the drygoods firm had lccked up the store for the night and was closing the front door. Their claim for damages covered value of stock and fixtures, expenses of moving and loss of profits. Their suit was brought against H. R. Doug- las, Inc., a building corporation, which had the contract nd was at work on’ the adjoining plot in erecting a new building for D. S. Marsh, and also against Marsh. The construction work had reached the stage where the complete excava- tion had been made on the Marsh lot, which left the foundation walls of the Cady building standing on the edge of the excavation. The Cady building suddenly toppled over into the excava- tion. The legal battle has been conducted the plaintiffs by Attofneys C. L. v, C. B. Waller and A. B. Calkins w London. The defendant Doug- las company was represented by At- torneys Hadlai A. Hull and Nathan Belcher, while the defendant Marsh was_represented by Attorney Charles B. Whittlesey of New London and Mayor Allyn L. Brown of this city. One of the interesting features of the trial was a wooden model of the properties involved, which was made so that it could be taken apart. After a long legal strugglie over its admis- sion as an exhibit and some changes had been made in it, it was finally admitted and could be used by the lawyers for reference, but it could not be taken into the jury room with the other exhibits in the case. FARM BUREAU TESTS FOR GOOD SEED CORN New London County. There is no reason why the farm- ers in New London c¢ounty should rlant poor seed corn this year, says the New London County Farm Bu- reau. Although the biz per cent. of corn does not germinate satisfactorily, thie New London County Farm Bu- veau has found good seed in sufficient quantity to take care of t needs of the county. Anyone wishing assist- ance in securing good seed should get in touch with the county agent im- mediately, or go directly to those pro- ducers who have good se2d. Accord- (ing to reports from the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station of samples taken by the farm bureau, good seed may be found on the fol- ing farms: in quantity, yellow Elisha Waterman, Bozrahvill white fi'nt James Shea, Jewett Ci Dowd’s dent, Harry Hull, Lisbon; and Conn.
