THE KANSAS CITY JOURNAL WEDNESTH tvtvv 1. 3 A A 1 ONLY NOMINAL DAMAGES, THAT IS Afctj MItS. IlItAKK CAN OBTAIN IF SltU WINS TIIK SUIT. 64 Ueclnrej itncljro rrlcut In Pasting on l'olnti Ilnlnret In llio Trlnl of the Cnie HmiR Jury la rllilc. Tho attorneys for Mrs.

Mnutl lionl Erako In her case against Marshal Stewart, on trial In tho federal court, nmemlect the petition jesterday morning by adding a third count to cover the defect that the ruling of Judge I'rlcst had made so plain. This did not stop the case, and tho Introduction of testimony continued. Just prior to the tlmo that Mrs. Drake was called to tho stand tho attornejs for Mr. Stewart made a motion to throw tho enso out of court Tho remarks and rulings of tho court Indicated that ho had serious Intention? of doing so, and under these conditions Mrs.

Drake went to the stand and began to tell the story of her arrest and her Incarceration In the Jill and tho night sho spent there. Sho was questioned tlgorously and mercilessly by Attorney Lucas, and finally became excited. Then the attorney plied her tho more with sharp questions, until finally she broke down and began to cry. Then Lucas looked like he was sorry ho had been so vigorous. The court looked out of the window and Dr.

KImmel hurried to tho side of the witness nml tried to quiet her. Attorney Qoldsby also tried to quiet her, but their Joint tlTorts veic In vain. She gave nay to a violent attack of hysterics and was led sobbing and crying from the room. Sho cried out again and again, "I know he'll do It," referring to tho motion to throw tho enso out. It v.ni half an hour before sho was quiet, and during that time other witnesses had been on tho stand and wero examined.

Among tho witnesses was Attorney Goldsby. Ho told his story in a plain manner, but in the cross-examination ho was given a merry clmso by Attorney Lucas, who attacked him from every possible standpoint and tried In every manner to confuse and tangle him. Ho was mot with soft answers and persistent replies by Mr. Goldsby, and the spectators were given an amusing exhibition of one lawyer examining another. The rulings of the court esterdiy were far from favorable to tho plaintiff, and in case the instructions to tho Jury follow the lino of tho rulings tho trial will ha been for nought so far as tho plaintiff is concerned.

Yesterday morning tho court said that the plaintiff could only recover nominal damages In case of her victory Ho said she bad been wronged greatly and his sympathies were with her In tho case, but tho law was the guide In tho trial, rind It wai not calculated to take cognizance of sjmpathotlo circumstances. During the afternoon Congressman Tarsney occupied a seat In the bar of the court among tho attorneys for Mr. Stewart. Tho fact that olio of the Jurors in the case is holding a position In a. postofflce to which he was elevated through tho influence of Mr.

Tarsney wns the cause of sorrto comment when lie was seated with tho attorneys. During the latter part of the session of the court there arose a spirited contention over some questions and rulings. The court excused the Jury and heard tho arguments and authorities of the attorneys on tho questions. During tho niguments, in which the court made numerous Interruptions, it was developed that the attornejs for the plaintiff and the court held vciy conlllotlng views on the subject. Tor Instance, the couit laid do; the proposition that it was a.

vcrv.el rlous question If County Marshal Stevut would havo had any right to have accepted tho bond offered bv Mrs Drake the night of her arrest. The prisoners wero in the county Jail without a mittimus, and the Jailers bold them as guards for tho constable and not In their capacity as deputy mar-fchals. Tho custody of tho prisoners could not pass to him except when tho legal process btaited In tho case was completed and tho accused was taken before the magistrate and a regular mittimus Issued. Until that time they wore legnlly In tho hands of tho constable, and any other olllcer who might b6 called simply acted as a guild for tho constable. In such cases tho constable is liable for any wrong action done or oppression suffered.

The great amount of conlllotlng testimony that has been Introduced lui3 caused great speculation as to tho outcome of tho case, nml It is generally conceded that there will bo a hung Jury. It Is considered next to impossible for any twelve men to agree on nil that has been heard. Tho attorneys for Stewart still hope to have the case knocked out before It reaches tho Juiy and will continue their tactics again to-day. They have made two attempts and pretty nearly succeeded each time, and they are counting hard on their third attempt. sukkty ccnii'AM' sura.

Tho rinlntliT Is Morris Turin r. Wham tho Ilofc ml mt Cmiseil to Do Arrest! il. Morris Turner, lately In tho employ of the Piuacntinl Insuranco Company, has a grievance, and the story of that grievance, as told In the petition filed In tho circuit court yesterday, Is to the effect that ho has been wronged and Injured by certain malicious and uncalled for actions on the Sart. of the American Surety Company, of lew York, to bUi.1i an extent that It will require SlO.OeV) to salve tho wounds of mind. Turner, while cmplojed by tho Prudential Insurance Company, gave a fiOO bond with the American Surety Company that lie would faithfully frervu tho Interests of Ills emplojers, Ho w.ih arrested, lie claims, nt tho Instance of the Surety Company for the embezzlement of $17.30.

nnd that, through tho testimony of paid witnesses, lie was convicted In the lowen court, but when It came to trial In the criminal court lio was acquitted. Mr. Turwr states that the company, not satisfied with this action, brought suit and hud him prosecuted lit another justice court, where ho was acquitted. Ho has suffered In mind and rep-ututlou and now sues for lO.OeO damages. Till: Cl.Mil.AMJ 11I.OCK.

A Illcyilo Ordlimueo buggistcd That Is riutUfiutory to Mheuliiien. Chairman Olson nnd Councilman KIdwell. members of the sanitary committee ot tho lower house, met jesterday afternoon to consider tho proposed ordlnnneo compelling wheelmen to carry lamps and bells on their wheels. Tho commltteo appointed by tho Kansas City Cjcllsts to confer with tho council committee, and set forth the objections of wheelmen to tho ordinance, was present at the meeting, as well as a number of other wheelmen and President Albert Young of the Cyclists.

Judge McDougal held tint nil the railway lompanles having property on this street, whether organised under the laws or the state or not, nre resident property owners under the charter. In passing on the facts where the corporation or Individual owns ground, but rents It to some other, he held that there was no resident ownership.
