VERDICT FOR DEFENDANTSIN ICY MAGE HON

Mother of Young Woman Killed at StcnyBrook Sued For $20,000.-Most of th3Cases on Big Calendar Are AnnouncedReady at Opening of Supreme Court. . ]

Only a comparativel y few of the212 cases on the calendar for the Oc-tober term of the Supreme Court wentover the term or were announced assettled when the calendar was calledat the opening of court Monday after-noon, arid Justice Harry -E. Lewis, ofBrooklyn, who is presiding, will pro-bably be busy here for the remainderof"the month. Thi? is the first timeJustice Lewis has presided at a regu-lar term of the Supreme Court inSuffolk. He is making many friendsamong -the lawyers and others whomhe is meeting and he is doing every-thing possible to expedite the trial ofthe cases. The fact that so manycases have been marked reader is thebest proof that the lawyers and liti-gant? are anxious to have their casestried before Justice Lewis.

Robert 6'Donohue, of Central Islip,was appointed by justice" Lewis asforeman of the Grand Jury which hasabout 60 cases to consider. It is ex-pected that.the Grand Jury will finishits work next Tuesday.. John C. White and his wife. Ida J.

White, of Babylon, "brought suitagainst Constable Thomas Gallagher ,of Babylon , for substantial damagesfor ah alleged assault upon Mrs.White. The jury rendered a verdictin fayor of the defendant. Gallagherwas given a dispossess notice to serveon White! ousting him from the pos-session of a garage he had rented.Mrs. White declared Gallagher as-saulted her and that she wa.3 inca-pacitated for some time. Gallagher,on the other hand , testified that Mrs.White had kicked him and ho deniedthat he had struck her or injured herin any way. White brough t suit foran alleged loss of his wife's services.

Tuesday a verdict for the defend-ants, who were represented by formerCounty Judge John R. Vunk , wasrendered by a. jury in the SupremeCourt in the action brought by Mrs.Jenny V. Macy, of Stony Brook , asadministratrix, against Robert M.Smith and Robert F. Wells. Inc., ofStony Brook, to recover $20,000 dam-ages for the death of Mrs. Macy 'sdaughter, Miss Jenny Macy, agedabout 35 years.

The latter was struck on August30, 1921, by a car driven by Smithand owned by the Wells corporation,as she was crossing the street atStony Brook. It was the contentionof the plaintiff that Smith was driv-ing the car at an excessive rate oispeed. He declared that Miss Macystarted, to cross the street and -thatshe apparently changed her mind.andturned to go back and walked right infront of the machine. Smith said hewas unable to prevent the accident.Lester Hand Jayne, counsel for ' Mns.Macy, moved to have the verdict setaside, but Justice Lewis denied themotion.

The case was first tried in .the Su-preme Court here in the ¦ spring of1922 before Justice Edward "Lazah-sky. and the jury awarded Mrs. Macy$500 damages- Lawyer Jayne imme-diately moved to have the verdict setaiside on the ground that it was in-adequate, but the motion, was"denied.Then Lawyer Jayne took an appealand Justice Lazansky was reversed bythe Appellate Division and a new trialwas ordered.

Arthur C. D. Macy, -a brother 0fthe decedent , who witnessed the ac-cident, and was an important witnessfor the plaintiff at the first trial, diedabout six months ago.

An undefended action for divorce,brought by Mrs. Esther Blackmar,against her husband, A. Blackmar,Lynbrook parties, was tried beforeJustice Lewis on Monday, and find-ings are to be submitted. The plain-tiff is a traveling salesman. Consta-ble Harry Betts, of Huntington, andanother man from that village, ob-tained the evidence at the Hotel Al-cazar, Manhattan , on July 5,: 1923..The co-respondent is unknown to thedetectives and the plantift The cou-ple have two children.

Mrs. Bessie A. Haviland,. of PortJefferson , was awarded $1,500 in heraction against Harold J. Decker, for-merly of Port Jefferson , who now con-ducts a hotel at Ronkonkma, for$15,000 damages for personal injuries

REV. TAYLOR RESIGNSVILLAGE POSTMASTER

Remsenburg Threatened WithLoss of Post Office BecausePostmaster Will Not Stick.

Again Remsenburg 'is without apostmaster. Some time ago theCounty Review printed a story thatunless the people of that village pro-duced a'.-l candidate for postmasterthere was grave danger of the officebeing abolished. ' That story arousedmuch comment and opened up the oldSpeonk - Remsenlburg controversywhich eome years ago divided the vil-lage and caused two postoffices to beestablished. The 'Remsenburgers gotbusy at once and as a result the Rev.Homer W. Taylor was appointed post-master on September 6. Now Mr.Taylor, who is pastor of the Remsen-burg church, sent in h.k> resignation.The office nays so little that no onewants it. _ The matter has been hang-ing fire for months now and itiis notimprobable that the postoffice depart-ment will act unless the people ofRemsenburg get busy and find somepublic-spirited citizen who is willingto take the office and preserve thename of Remsenburg.

The Republicans of Shelter Islandhave failed to find a candidate for Su-pervisor to run against SupervisorCharles Henry Smith. The last davfor filling vacancies is October 9, butthere is little likelihood of any oppo-sition this year to Mr. Smith-

William B. Trainer , the popularTown Clerk of Huntington town, hasbeen turned down by his own party—the Democrats. The Republicans be-came tired of trying to defeat Trainerand so this year 'they put him on theirown ticket. Two years ago to satisfysome of the dyed-in-the-wool partymen. the Republicans nominated agood man.-for-.Town Clerk and. madethe fight againft Clerk Trainer. Theresult was that Mr. Trainer waa re-elected by over 1,700 plurality in thatRepublican town. This year the partyleaders got together and in the Re-publican Town convention last Satur-day Mr. Trainer was unanimouslynominated by that party. Some of theDemocrtic leaders were sore and it issaid Trainer was asked to decline theG. O. P. nomination. This he refusedto do. - He did not seek the" nomina-tion and flatl y refused to decline.Then the Democrats met and Trainei-was defeated in his own party andanother named for the job. The Re-publicans are pleased at the situationthat has developed and friends of thepopular Town Clerk do not seem to beworried over the situation and predictthat their favorite candidate will winby the largest plurality he ever had.

There is still talk of putting in athird candidate in this Assembly dis-trict. Dr. E. Ajrate Foster havingpositively refused to run and declaredhimself for the re-election of Assem-blyman Peck, the same influences thatwere responsible for Dr. Foster's can-didacy are grooming Arthur H. My-ers, of Lake Ronkonkoma, for the in-dependent nomination. Myers is aNew York man who keeps a restaur-ant at Ronkonkoma.

At the meeting of the RepublicanCounty Committee, on Tuescia .- , "nmotion ; of Supervisor Halseyj resolu-tions 1 were unanimouslv adoptedthanking Mrs. Charles H. Sabi n , Sen-ator Wadsworth, Col. Roosevelt.Speaker Machold , Mrs. Arthur L.Livermore and Mjss Sarah Butler forthe splendid meeting held by theCounty Committee at the home ofMrs. Sabin last week.

Republican women were given equalrepresentation with men on the Re-publican State Executive CommitteeSaturday when seven additional wom-en members were appointed to thecommittee.

The meeting of Republican men andwomen leaders took place at the Na-tional Republican Club, New YorkCity., In addition to Mrs. Arthur L. Liver-more, Mrs. Douglas Robinson , Mrs.Charles H. Sabin and Miss FlorenceWardwell , who are already membersof the committe, the following wereelected : Miss Helen . Varick Boswell,New York ; Mrs. Faith Moore An-drews, Brooklyn: Mrs. FrederickPruyn . Albany ; Miss Mary Chahoon ,Ausable Forks; Mrs. Florence E. S.Knaop , Camillus; Mrs. Joseph Rieger,Dunkirk.

Former Postmaster Frederick M.Welsh, of Patchogu e, underwent anoperation for intestinal trouble at Dr.TJnger 'sj -nrivate hospital in that vil-lage, on Thursday of last week. Theoperation was performed by a NewYork specialist.

A well known Riverhead manand his good wife, who attendchurch every Sunday, arrived attheir place of worship two hoursbefore the service began last Sun-day. They were very much sur-prised to find no one at the churchand at first they thought they hadmade a mistake in the day of theweek. The head of the house thenrealized tha t before he retired onSaturday night he turned the hourhand of his "daylight savingclock" ahead an hour, instead ofturning it back an hour. Thecouple returned , to their home,where they remained until it "wastime to go to church."
