Alley Gets $400 against Hoey

One Juryman Wanted to Give Him $1,000.

While Another Only Placed the Damages at $50—Was a Compromise Verdict.

Under the charge of Judge Kinne in the case of Leander Alley vs. Daniel Hoey, the jury couldn't do anything else but give the plaintiff a verdict for damages.

The only question was the amount.

When the jury retired to their room they cast ballots for that amount. The lowest amount cast among the jurymen was for $50, while one man wanted to give Mr. Alley $1,000. After three hours of discussion and balloting a compromise was made on a verdict for $400, which was returned.

As the plaintiff wanted $1,000 to settle the case, the attorneys for the defendant feel well satisfied with the result and will not take an appeal.
