GIIAER EJECTMENT SUIT
It Was on Trial In the Main Court
Room All Day.
MARCY CASE HAS BEEN SETTLED
Verdict for lllllsldo Coal and Iron Com
pany Taken by Agroomcnt-Jury Sent
Out to Prepare a Statement of Its
Vcrdlct-Cbllton Case on Trial.
In the main, court room yesterday
boforo Judge Edwards tho entire day
was taken up with the trial of tho eject
ment suit of Edward Gumaer against
Pardon T. Barber to obtain possession
of five acres of land in Benton town
ship, Until 4 p. m. the time was con
sumed In hearing testimony for the
plulntifT, a largo number of witnesses
being called to prove the occupation of
the land by Pardon T. Barber and also
to testify as to what the rental of such
a property would ha per year. The
deed to Mr. Gumnor from Coleman
Wolls, executor of tho estate of William
Barber, was also offered In evidence.
After tho plaintiff rested Attorney II.
M. Hannah asked tor a nonsuit on tho
round ithat a case had not been, made
iV by tho plaint I ft that was suin-
elenKy clear to allow tho Jurors to pass
upon It. Judge Edwards refused to
grant the motion, but told Mr. Hannah
ithnt he would allow him to present ar
gument for binding instructions to the
Jury after the evidence of the defense
was In. v
Mr. Sopor's Opening Hemnrks.
Attorney C. II. (Super then opened the
cuho tio the Jury for th defense. lie
sai l that almoct up to live time of the
death of William Barber the fifty aeres
In dispute had been a portion of his es
tate. Home time prior to his death he
sold these fifty acres to his son Ira
Barber and took a Judgment note In
payment. Ira also became Indebted to
Sidney Finn, and the latter, In 1877,
after tho death of William nBrber,
caused the land to be sold at sheriff's
sale In Wllkes-Barre to satisfy his
claims.
Coleman Wells wns executor of the
estate and with Pardon Barber he went
to Wllkes-Barre by agreement of the
Barber heirs to attend the sale and pro
tect their Interests. In. puruanco of this
osreemenrt, Mr. Soer said that the
property was alowed to bu sold and
was purchased by Coleman Wells for
the csitate with money furnished by
Pardon Barber. Tho price ait which the
property was sold wns $201,56. After
this sale Pardon 'Barber went into pos
session of the land and has remained in
possession ever since.
Second Snle of tho Property.
On April 7, 1SS5. Executor Wells noti
fied the Barber heirs that he Intended
to sell the land occupied by Pardon
Barber and also an adjoining strip
owned by the estate. Tho heirs pro
tested, 'Mr. Soper declares, and offered
to pay any claims that might be
against the estate, but the executor re
fused to listen to them and proceeded
with the sale, Edward Gumaer becom
ing the purchaser. Tho validity of the
sale was never recognized by the Bar
bers and the deed given to Gumaer by
Mr. Wells was treated as of no conse
quence. After Mr. Soper had complet
ed his address to the Jury, court ad
journed for the day.
By an agreement a verdict for the de
fendant was taken In the famous eject
ment suit of William H. Marcy against
the Hillside Coal and Iron company.
The action was begun In 1889 by Mr.
Marcy to obtain possession of valuable
coal lands in the vicinity of Jermyn,
this county, which were said to be
worth In the neighborhood of $500,000.
They Did Not Coont Allko.
An action brought by A. J. Riblsh and
his wife, Ottelia Riblsh, against Benja
min Sweetzer was put on trial before
Judge Archbald In court room No. 3
yesterday morning, and went to the
Jury at 3 o'clock. Mr. Sweetzer Is the
owner of a brickyard fn Keyscr valley,
and made a contract with Mr. Riblsh
to dig and haul to the yard clay from
which to manufacture the bricks. The
agreement was that he Bhould be paid
a certain price for every thousand of
brick manufactured from the clay.
The parties disagree as to the number
of bricks made. Mr. Sweetzer's book
keeper figured It out that 700,000 bricks
were manufactured, but Mrs. Riblsh,
who also kept count In the Interest of
her husband. Is certain that there were
750,000 bricks. There is also a differ
ence of opinion as to the amount of
money paid to Mr. Riblsh on his con
tract. Altogether the latter claims that
Mr. Sweetzer Is Indebted to him in tho
sum of $187.50 with Interest from Oc
tober, 1892. Attorney A. D. Dean ap
peared for the defendant, and Attorney
W. S. Hulslander for tho plaintiffs.
Jury Sent Ilnck Again.
At 3 o'clock the Jury retired to de
liberate on the case and, at 4.30 It filed
Into court and handed In a verdict for
the plaintiff for $175, without interest.
Judge Archbald was unable to decide
how they arrived at such figures and
sent the Jurors back -to tho Jury room
