GIVEN VERDICT (Continued from page one) erest in this ginnery, and this was on iccount of a vacant lot which it was >elieved would be large enough to hold he machinery and buildings down tear the wharves. Later it was agreed hat t\\e deed for the lots out in the V. R. Lewis field would be taken in he name of the Conway Bargain louse and the ginnery was placed on hose and the same was operated as part of the Conway Bargain House lusiness in the year 1919. The plaintiff told of the large busiiess which he had owned at Warn pee. >ut that he had given this up and noved to Conway at great expense in rder to take the interest of one half n the Conway Bargain House. He rent on in his testimony to say that t had been agreed before he moved hat he did not have the ready cash villi which to purchase the interest 'n he Conway business, but that he vould bo given time on paying this vith interest at (> per cent; that when le came to Conway it was then stated hat he could take the inventory as it lad been on January before that, or vait until later when the regular inventory would be taken, or they would ake one then; and that they agreed to int. nff tho tnlfinir nf \ lin invpntnrv uul closing- the deal for the transfer >f the stock later on about the end of :hat year; that when the inventory vas taken later on showing the business done in 11) 19, that there had been i profit of $14,000.00 and the inven-j ;ory showed over thirty thousand dolars worth of goods on hand. That he then offered to comply with the contract and he stated to the defendant that he had the money to pay him, hut the defendant then refused to allow him any share in the* profits of the business that year. He testified that the defendant refused to comply with the terms of the agreement which he had made. He staid on in Conway until he could get away and then went >ack to Wampee where he had to reestablish his business. Letter heads wore produced in evidence showing the name of A. C. Thompson printed thereon as president and M. R. Thompson as Secretary and General Manager. The defendant, when he took the stand denied that he had taken the lots in the name of Conway Bargain House or that he had agreed that the Conway Bargain House would take the ginnery at $2500.00. He denied that he had anything to do with the ginnery except to advance M. B. Thompson the money for running the business. He admitted that M. B. Thompson had agreed to move to Con ? wm ???????

He admitted that he had agreed to sell him this interest; but the burden of his testimony was to the effect that he could not get the plaintiff to take and pay for the stock after he had agreed to buy it. He stated that the lots were made in his name for the purpose of locating: that gin without his knowledge, and that he had only intended to help his brother out in advancing the money for the' pay ro\ls at the gin and in buying a boiler from K. L. Mishoe with which to operate the ginnery machinery. The plaintiff put on the stand H. E. Thompson who stated that he had assisted in checking up the inventory and taking stock at the end of 1910 when the profit of fourteen thousand dollars had been announced. He had added up the figures on the adding machine as called out by the bookkeeper and the profit was that amount after deducting one third for possible losses; and he said that he remembered that the merchandise on hand was over thirty thousand dollars. The defendant called J. M. Dusenbury to the stand and he said that | sometime in 1919 he saw M. B. Thompson looking about among the shelves in the grocery store and asked him what he was looking for or words to that effect, anil that he had replied and said that he intended to know what was there before he put any money in the Conway Bargain House. He was asked if he had not testified at the trial of Bell case that he was working at that time for M. B. Thompson, and that the latter had an interest in the business at that time. He said that since thinking about it i i :.i .....j i.?-*4 ....... lit* IUIU MllU IIW>, clllU tllclL l 1 I vi^l 1 er in his memory at that time. George Martin, the bookkeeper f( r the Conway Bargain House, at that time and now, was sworn. He testified from a loose leaf account of profit and less for the year of and stated that the profit of that year was the sum of only a little over $2500.00 and even less after salary of M. B. Thompson was taken off. He admitted on j cross examination that the amount of business done by the store in that year had been about $120,000.00, and for the next year after that about $80,000.00. He was asked about an entry of over $500.00 on the books as a charge against the M. B. Thompson Company for ginning cotton at this same gin, now disputed as belonging to the Conway Bargain House, and he admitted that this account was run in the Bargain House under the head of Gin and Mill Account. The reply of the plaintiff was directed to proving statements which had been made to various witnesses bv A. C. Thompson, contrary to what r all XPERI1 counts ;ries makes nearly 200 different arious industries.

Thompson had told him that ho would have to wait until M. B. Thompson got down to Conway in order to pet suppiles as he had sold him an interest in the business. L. W. Cooper testified that A. C. Thompson had told him, both !>efore and after the arrival of M. B. Thompson in Conway, that year, that he had sold an interest in this business to hia brother. C. M. Smith testified that while working at the gin as a mechanic he hud applied to A. C. Thompson for a raise in pay and obtained an increase of wages, thus showing that A. C. Thompson was in charge of the ginnery business at that time. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of $500.00. This verdict was a surprise. It was generally thought that if the plaintiff proved his case for anything at all, it would not be less than the sum of $2500.00 with interest on it from the time that he turned the ginnery over to the Conway Bargain House. In the opinion of many the verdict would not stand, and the attorneys for the plaintiff at once gave notice of a motion for a new trial. o .
