ADAMS WINS ON INSURANCE NOTE.

The case of the Union Trust Co., of South Bend to collect a 5250 note given by Marion I. Adams to Mr. Scudder, the Hamilton Insurance Co., promoter for stock in his company, was tried by jury Saturday. Fraud was set up as a defense and the jury returned a verdict about 8 p. m., in Mr. Adams* favor, after deliberating about four hours. It seems that all the money Scudder took in was eaten up by expenses; and his company was busted. Other notes, it is understood, are outstanding that were given by parties here : , but this, is the only one sued upon. An appeal will be taken by the Truss Company, it is believed.
