Asks for Nearly $100,000

Suit has been entered in the common pleas court, of Allegheny county, by P. L. Kimberly, of Sharon, against Alexander M. Byers, of Pittsburgh, to recover $97,510.11 with interest from August 1, 1899. According to a statement filed on August 8, 1897, the plaintiff was the owner of 2876 shares of stock of the Chapin Mining company, of Michigan, of the par value of $25. The stock at the time was hypothecated to M.A. Hanna & Co. for amounts aggregating $25,000. Kimberly states that he entered into a verbal agreement with the defendant whereby-he received from Byers $25,000, and in turn he, having secured the hypothecated stock from M.A. Hanna & Co., surrendered the same to the mining company, causing new certificates to be issued in Byers’ name and gave them to Byers as security for the loans made. These certificates were forwarded to the defendant August 10, 1897. During the intervening time between then and August 1, 1899, the defendant received in dividends on the stock $31,638.75. On August 1, 1899, the stock was sold with the consent of the defendant, and transferred to the purchaser at the rate of $118.75 a share, aggregating $343,554.69, whereby the defendant, the plaintiff says, became liable to pay the plaintiff so much of the proceeds of the sale and the dividends thereon as would re main after deducting the indebted ness of the plaintiff to the defendant with interest. An appended statement shows the total indebtedness of the plaintiff to the defendant to be $277,683.33.

MERCER
Cases Decided at Mercer County’s Temple of Justice — Wills Probated - Sheep Claims Filed — Marriage Grants

Nov. 29 — The case in court on trial at close of our last report, Infield vs. Infield, was changed to James Infield, executor, vs. D.N. Infield, Chas. Brunson and Harry Michaels. The suit was brought to recover the value of a house moved from a lot belonging to the estate of Sarah Infield, deceased, of Jackson Center. D.N. Infield, grandson of deceased, built a house on a lot with the understanding that it belonged to his father and with the latter’s consent. Plaintiff probated the will and proceeded to sell the property. To save his house D.N. secured Messrs. Brunson and Michaels and while the neighbors slept he had it removed to another lot just across the street. The question of his right to do so was the controversy, which was easily decided in his favor, both law and public sentiment being with him.

The next case tried was an action brought by the First National Bank, of Sharon, against Norman Hall, surviving executor of George Boyce, deceased. From plaintiff’s testimony it appeared that in 1885 the firm of Boyce, Wheeler & Co., of which George Boyce, the decedent, was a member, owned and operated a blast furnace in West Middlesex, and in that year they became indebted to the plaintiffs in the sum of $59,000, the same being evidenced by a number of drafts drawn by the said firm and accepted and discounted by the plaintiffs. That there remains due and unpaid upon said indebted ness the sum of $15,408.18, and this suit was brought to recover that amount from the executor of the estate of George Boyce, deceased. No evidence was offered by the defense and a verdict was rendered by the jury without leaving their seats for the entire amount claimed by the plaintiff.

L.W. Marr vs. M.V. Smock was a family affair, plaintiff being a son-in-law of defendant. Marr had leased a farm from Smock and was to have one-third of the product. A dispute arose before the crops were all harvested and he wouldn’t pay any longer. Smock gathered the crops, charged Marr with the expense he was at, deducted it from his third and tendered him the balance. Marr refused and sued for the whole third. Of course he lost, the verdict being for defendant.

In case of Lewis Myer vs. James Phillis, defendant was stakeholder wherein plaintiff put up $20 that there was not over 90 cents worth of bullion gold in a gold dollar. Facts satisfied defendant that plaintiff lost and he paid the money, although plaintiff notified him not to do so. This suit was to collect the $20 from the stakeholder. Plaintiff tried to make it appear that he had repented of his bet and therefore the money should have been returned, but it didn’t go with the jury and the verdict was for the defendant.  

Mary A. Brest, administrator of estate of Andrew Brest, deceased, vs. J. Newton Brest, was brought to recover a note given by defendant amounting to $1500, to deceased in payment of a farm deeded him. Plaintiff's testimony was that the defendant had gotten possession of same by unfair means. Defendant claimed that the decedent had given him the note and it was destroyed, his father giving him the land. Several witnesses testified that decedent had told them in his lifetime that he was going to give the land in question to son. The verdict was for defendant. Plaintiff will now enter another suit asking that the deed be annulled. 

        U.A. Hanna vs. J.E. Geibner was a suit to recover for violation of agreement. The parties are residents of Sandy Lake. Plaintiff bought defendant’s general store and had him sign an agreement not to enter business again and sell any of his lines for a period of ten years, within a radius of five miles, under a forfeiture of $800. Evidence showed that defendant engaged in the clothing business and soon added other lines, including boots and shoes, in violation of his contract. The verdict was for plaintiff for amount of claim, $800.

The suits of Alex.McDowell, executor, vs. John and M.V. Cole and Wm. Goldberg vs. L.S.& M.S.R.R. were continued. Joseph Bowen vs. The Western Insurance Company, of Pittsburgh, a loss of $1400 was settled for $900. R.R. Reed vs. R.F. Kelly was settled.

Lulu Frame, of Sharpsville, convicted at October term of fornication, was sentenced to the State institution for feeble minded at Polk, the court believing her a fit subject for the care of that institution.
