Dr. Moore Given Judgment for $65.

In the case of Dr. Moore vs. Dr. J. H. Hansson and the Overland automobile company, where the plaintiff charged that a second-hand and inferior autoinobile had been palmed off on him at an exhorbitant price, etc., the jury gave plaintiff a judgment for $65, not because the auto was second-hand or inferior which it was clearly shown it was not —but because it was proven that the agent had agreed to sell the auto at actual cost, as he had contracted for so many machines during a certain time and the time limit was about up. As a matter of fact he had sold it for some $l3O over what it cost, but he had paid another agent. $25 to release this particular machine and was at some expense besides, so the jury on this showing, agreed to split the $l3O in two and give Dr. Moore judgment for $65.
