A MAIDEN'S DRESS INSPIRES ORATORY

ATTORNEYS ARGUE OVER COSTUME FOR MISS McCLURE

Tailor Schanz Said Not to Have Doe a Good Job--Justice Withholds Decision

The suit of Myrtle McClure, daughter of Mrs. Mary McClure of 502 E. Jefferson street, against J. J. Schanz, the State street tailor whom she alleges made her a $25 dress and jacket which didn't fit, has been taken under advisement by Justice Gibson, after hearing the brilliant arguments of the attorneys in the case at the hearing on Saturday afternoon.

Tailor Schantz was the star witness for the defense. Not being able to readily grasp the meaning of the English language, he proved a great discomfiture to the attorneys for the plaintiff when they sought to confuse Mr. Schantz in his story of how the suit made for Miss McClure could not have been improved upon even though it had been the creation of a Parisian modiste.

J. Q. A. Sessions, one of the attorneys for the defense, was very anxious to have the trial proceed with great precision and from the multitude of objections he interposed and had not the court admonished the attorneys, a personal collision might have resulted.

Messrs. Wedemeyer and Clyne, for the opposing sides, in stentorian tones and passionate appeal held the closest attention of the court, while they reviewed with marked emphasis the salient features of the case, which mainly consisted of the many reasons why and why not the suit made by Schanz did not have the effect desired by Miss McClure when she put it on.

At the conclusion of the arguments Justice Gibson suspended judgment until Thursday.
