the court into the afternoon when
it was given to the jury. After a
short deliberation the jury returned
with a verdict for the defendant.
The next case was Paul not vs. the
Western Union Telegraph Co. At 6
o’clock p. in., the consideration of
this case was suspended for the court
to hear the application of Harry
Dean, who was confined in Spartan
burg jail for killing Miller McKinney,
for bail. After hearing the affidavit
and argument, Judge Towsend grant

the sum of $2,500, which will be
promptly given.
When the court commenced Wed
nesday morning it resumed the con
sideration of the case of Paulnot vs.
the Western Union Telegraph Co.
It grew out of the failure of the com
pany to deliver a message to Miss
Paulnot, informing her of the death
of her grandmother. It went to the
jury in the forenoon and it returned
a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for
$1,000.
The attorney for the defense moved
for anew trial but the motion was
refused by the court.
After the Paulnot case was given
the jury Wednesday the case of Al
len vs. Turner was taken up and
occupied the time of the court till
Thursday afternoon when it was given
to the jury, which, when our forms
were closed, had not returned a ver
