MOOT COURT HOLDS REGULAR SESSION Interesting Case Involving Breach of Promise Dec4ded By Would-be Attorney\ JONES VERSUS SMITH. Jury Finds Verdict for Defen danf After Able Discussion Rpndered by Lawyers. The regular meeting .of the Moot Court was held on last Thursday night, Prof. W. T. Aycock presiding. Counsel for plaintiff were Messrs. O. C. Blackmon and D. W. Robinson, Jr., .while the defense was made by Messrs. W. K. Suggs and T. Brooks Alford. The first case called was Jones vs. Smith, a breach 'of promise suit. Several motions were made by the counsel for the plaintiff; one a motion "te strike out" a portion of the pleadings, which was over ruled. Another was "to make more definite and certain," which met a similar fate. First witness called was the plaintiff in the action, Mary A. Jones. She testified that she was on the Carolina Special go ing to visit her aunt in Charles ton, when the defendant, Jno A. Smith, introduced himself and became a companion for the remainder of the trip. "There were miles and miles of smiles," which developed into love before they reached Char leston. Just before reaching Charleston he made an engage ment with Miss Jones to spend the next day on the island. On our way back the next day Smith proposed to Miss Jones and was accepted, having left the young lady with the im pression that he was a single man. Later negligence on his part aroused the young lady's suspicions, and upon investiga tion it was found that Smith was married, which fact caused much grief to the plaintiff. The defendant was called and upon oath stated that he was a neighbor of the plaintiff. and that the plaintiff knew him to be a married 'man; that she kissed him 'and tried to make him propose, but that he re fused to become engaged to said plaintiff, but everything that was said and done was in the nature of a joke. Infancy was also set up as a defense to actions arising out of a breach of contract of marriage. A verdict for the defendant was rendered. Court ad journed to meet again on Thursday night of this week. CLASSICAL MEET GREAT SUCCESS Distinguished Men From All Over the South Leave After Having Finished a Most Successful Program.
