Price against the City of Plymouth, Indiana, defendant, and assess plaintiff's damays alt "0. Jacob Richard Foreman. At 2 o'clock Tuesday morning, the jury in the case of Jacob E-Price-versus 'the City of Plymouth, returned a sealed verUict, after being in deliberation for 8 bcturs. The case went to the jury shortly after H o'clock Monday iiijnt- Hie ver.iict wa opened ai :.'0 Tnesdav morn in ir in th.? presence of the attorneys. The above -was the verdict returned. A long list of interrogatories, consisting of 41 questions vas submitted to the jury by die defence. When the verdict was opened ami read, the answers to some of the question propounds i by the defence were not satisfactory and the jury was sent back to correct them.-A few minute. later, 'ihe jury -returned with all f the questions contained in the interrogatory answered satisfactorily. f - Finding of Jury. A congest of the answers to the lengthy list of questions proiMrii ruled is as follows: That the weighing machine standing on the junction of the cross-walks, on corner of Michigan and Laporte streets, where ihe accident occurred, which resuhetl in the death of Rüssel Price, was an impediment to travel. That the boy .was 'within 12 fett of his father when the accident occurred. That he took hold of the upright beam of the weighing machine and swung around to the west behind the 'machine, pulling the machine lipon himself, causing it to uptip and fall upon him. That the child was noil of sufficient age and capacity to exercise reasonable care in his own behalf. That Mayor Logan had actual notice df tbe machine being located in the Miarogerous position, in 'which it stood when the accident occurred. That the weighing machine was NOT standing against the east side of the Shadel I)rug Store on Saturday evening between the hours of 5 and f o'clock, before the Sunday morning, on which the accident occurred. That the weighing machine stood in the position which' it occupied when the accident occurred. That no evidence was introduced to determine whether or not. Jacob Price, father of the victim df the accident, exercised sufficient care of his child at the time of the accident. Many Ballots Required. As related by a member of the jury Tuesday morning the determining of amount of idlatnages to be awarded to plaintiff Price, was a tedious discussion requiring many lallote. The first ballot, to determine the finding in the case stood 10 for plaintiff ' Price, and two for the 'defendant City of Plymouth. The second ballot resulted in unanimous vote for the plaintiff. On the first ballot taken to dctermine the amount of damages, the amounts ranged from a maximum of $1000 to a minimum of .$200. After a long discussion and many ballets, a medium of $."00 -was decided upon by the jury, and a verdict to that effect was returned at 2 a. m. this morning. Decides the Question. The verdict of the jury in the case of Jacob E. Price versus the City of Plymouth, decides 'the question in this case, of the value of a seven year old boy as a financial investment. The law provides that in case of a death by damages, if any are .warded, they shall be in the amount of the value in dollars and cents, of the child, from the time of its death until ft shall have reached the age of 21 years. Evidence which was in'troHuctl in the case to establish thle value, varied from a deficit of $3000 to a net earning ability of $3000. Several witnesses testified that if a bov came out even at

IT

PRICE OF itihe rnd of Iiis twentieth year he would be doing well. The amount sued for was $5000, but the plaintiff's attorney expected a verdict of not lests than $1000. Attorney S. X- Stevens stated Monday that any verdict 'for less than $1000 would be considered a loss of the case by them. Arguments Were Heated. 'Hie argument of attorneys, which was heard Monday vverc heated effussions to say the least. Attorney Stevens in point blank words assercd that " Councilman McCoy had falsified when he testified that he saw the weighing machine -standing against the Shadel building on the night before the occurrence bf the accident. Judging by the answer of the jury to that question in the in. terrogation,' that body thought as Stevens did. The defence, represented by Attorney L. M. Lauer and W. P. Hess, ma'Je a very creditabfc showing for the city of PlymoutJi cutting "down the amount of klamages from a demand of $,"000 to $500, and in view of the fact that the attorneys for the plaintiff seemed sure of a $1000 verdict. There was no doubt that the city was liable for the accident which resulted in the death f seven year old , Russe I Price, which occurred in September IDOS, when. while playing on the weighing machine near the ShaLlel drug 'store, be upset the heavy machine upon himself, resulting in a broken neck, ami his immediate deathThe jury to try the damage suit" of Jacob E, Price versus the City of Plymouth for the sum of $.m)0Ö for the death of his son Russel, -who was killed by being struck by a weighing machine in front of the old Shadel Drug Store, was completed at 11 o'clock Thursday moYning. Tfie jury which is trying the case is comjxysed of the following: Harry Brosius, Tippecanoe township,' Jacob Richards, Center tp., John Sil vius North tp., Lewi Foltz. German tp., Milo Gill Bourbon tp., George Machlan, j Center tp., Howard Richardson, I Center tp., Conrad Fox, Walnut tp, Samuel Merger North' tp., Lyrnx- llondurant Aorth tp., and George Ray Center tp. Those excused from the regular panel were Josiah Jacoby Center tp., Gust Holem Polk tp., and .Charles G rover,. Union tp. The remainder of the morning and part of the afternoon was taken up with the opening statements of attorneys. Jacob. E. Price the plaintiff was the first witness. He testified reganding the accident in which his child lost its life, on the corner of Michigan and Garro streets last summer, by uptipping a heavy weighing scales upon himself. The testimony reveal el that the lad was six years and G months old. He resided with his jiarents west of Plymouth. He had come with his father to Plymouth on the fatal Sunday morning to go errands. They had purchased a Sunday paper at the Fuller store, and ha:J purchased medicine for the sick mother at the Shadel Drug Store. Price was talki ng with Frank Cullison when the land played upon the scales resulting in their'uptipping and his death from a broken neck. The father testified that he lifted the scales from off the boy; and they were lying across his left shoulder ami neck, while his heavB rested upon the cement sidewalk. Death resulted a few moments later, fro ma broken neckAtty W. P.. Hess conducted the cross examination which was very lengthy. What is a seven year old lxy worth as a financial investment?

neutral (stand and sav that a bov will do pretty well if he comes out even. The case which is being tried in the circuit court, rievolop: some interesting and novel opinions, relative to the cash value of a bov. In this case, love affection etc, count nothing, the law pro viding that damages may be collected in the instance of death .of a minor child, in the amount of the net earning capacity of the child, from the time of its death, up to its 21st birthday. Butler is One Extreme. John C. Butler, City civil cngi neer of Plymouth was examined by attorneys for the defence, to determine what the pecuniary value tf a seven vcar old boy wmild be. Uutler thought that, if a boy was given proper education such as present day conditions, and standards require, that a sev en vear old bov would cost his father about $250 per year, untii he was 21 years of age. He stated that his own boys at present were oeing sent to colleges away from his bonne, and were partly earning their way, but he thought that the average cost to him wutiid be about $250 per year. This wtmLl' make the 1x)y's deficit up to the time of his 21 st birthday, away above $3000. Cullison Admits Other. Frank Cullison, who witnessed the accident which caused the dearth of year old Russell Price when he uptrppod a heavy weighing scales upon himself, on the corner of Michigan and I. a Porte streets, last summer, was aiso examined relative to the eirnimr ca pacity of a boy. At first Cullison stated that he 'thought that a )y woivM do pretty well, rf he came out even, if given the proper schooling, up to his 21st binh-day-Cullison admitted to the following extreme, upon examination and cross questioning by Attorey S. X. Stevens one of the attorneys for plaintiff Price and this seems to be the greatest possible amount a poy couM earn up to his reaching his majority, figuring his board at the least jossible amount. "That it would be pv visible for a bby to be supjiortcd for the amount of 20 centrf per da v. This is the amount which Julia E. Work off the Brightsrde Training School receives from the state for the care, support, education, etc., of children entrusted to the care of the institution, an. I Mrs. Work is able to do so t a profit- . "That an energetic boy can obtain employment after school hours and Saturday, carrying papers, working in stores, etc, and be able to average enough wages to be self sustaining, up to his fourteenth birth day, counting al so what wages he could cam in the three months vacation time." "That, thef following watges would be paid the bay, if he should quit sdiool after his fourteenth year, ami learn the trade of his father, which was bricknrason tlr the first six months $l per day. For the second six months $1.50 per ,l!ay. third six months $2 per day. fourth six months $2.50 per day. fifth (' monthls; $3 per day. At the end of three years he would live his trade learned, am! would earn from 5$ to f2 cents per hour. The above rate is according to Union schedule." "According to the above figures, it would figure that a boy would earn a net amount of $,V 000. from the age of 7 to 21 years." Would Break Even. Wm. II. Conger and 'Marshall Daniel Jacoby both testified that they thought with the proper education, care. etc.. that a boy whuld do pretty well if he broke even, and paid his own from ? to 21st year.

The fact is thrust upon one's attention. Not only in sensational murder trials, but in almost every civil proceeding or qua'si-judicial investigation which is of sufficient general interest tc gain publicity, the reported tes timony fs always contradictory, and nearly always to such a degree as to be utterly irreconcilable. There seems to be little oi no regard for. the sanctity of an oath ; ( and yet with this multipl?city of instances of reckless or wicked swearing one rarely hears i won;! of reproof from the bench and to judge from the number of prosecutions perjury would seem to be the rarest crime.

Wednesday Night , After deliberating for six hours from 12 o'clock Wednesday noon -until G o'clock Wednesday night, the jury in the case of Charles Mosslander versus tne estate of John Plain deceased, returned with a verdict for the plaintiff, awarding the sum of $1090.58, on disallowed daim sued on. Gideon Blain, son of the deceased of Indianapolis, is executor of the estate, The suit was on a note-i 51000 principle, and the interest amounted to $90.58. The note was aüegcd to have been lost and the defence maintained that the note was not good.Nullified by Veto Limitation. The veto limitation, the Irish party says, practically nullifies the whole thing. Moreover they might want to say something about foreign and colonial affairs vhich, they think, interest them is vitally, as they interest England Above all else, "he Irish want to handle their ow. national affairs w"hile the prei far has argued in several of his recent -peeebes that the Irish cannot uport themselves and that the English must always aid them nd therefore are entitled to do it :n their own way. While it is generally believed that the premier has -oppod a 'on.g way 'short of what Ireland wants, the Irish leaders will take vhat is offered on the theory that Tt is a step in the right direction. There is one contingency in which the Irish party may stand a better chance in the next session Oi parliament than politictuns are counting on. If neither he liberals nor conservatives. dioulri have a majority of all the members of the house of com- t mons, the combined Irish and Socialists would hold the balance f power. The liberals have combined with the Labor pary in wheh are many Socialists. The out and out Socialists, however, refuse to combine and indicatio.is are that they will be strong in the next Parlament.
