IN COUNTY COURT.
A Jury Case of Two Verdicts
First one a Mistake-
The
Bartos vs. Todd-
The case of Bartos vs. Todd which
was tried before a jury in the county
court yesterday, as mentioned in last
night's Hekalu, resulted in a peculiar
manner inbe way of a verdict.
To state the case briefly, as gleamed by
the llfcitALD scribe, from the evidence of
fered, it was as follows: In February,
1 888, Doom Brothers, of Ashland, rented
to one Alvin Todd, of Greenwood, a
farm four miles south of Plattsmouth,
representing to him that there were 90
acres of broken land, 20 acres of pasture,
and 20 acres of meadow with good house
and corrells. For the rent of this farm
Mr. Todd, without visiting it, gae notes
to the amount of $350, and secured them
with a mortgage on his chatties valued
at $4G0. In the spring time when Todd
moved to his farm he found it had been
greatly misrepresented to him, there be
ing only :50 acres of broken land and no
pasture and no stables and the house in
poor shape, and refused to pay his notes
on the ground of misrepresentation.
Meantime Doom Brothers sold the notes
to one Paul V. Bartos, who "went to
Kansas" and returned the notes to them
for collection But the evidence seemed
to plainly say "Paul V. Bartos" was a
ficticious person and the suit brought in
his name that the real parties might mas
querade as innocent partis aud avoid the
claim of fraud by misrepresentation
which Todd could produce. Doom
Brothers then brought a replevin suit to
force a payment of the notesVy the mort
gage on the chatties. The case was ar
gued b? Sullivan for the defense and
Beeson and Browne for laintiff. The
jury was made up of six business men of
the city, and the case submitted to them
for a verdict after 4 o'clock. At 5:30
they returned a verdict like this:
In the county court of Cass county,
Nebraska, Paul V. Bartos, plaintiff, vs.
Alvin Todd, defendant.
We. the jury duly empaneled and
sworn in the above entitled cause find
that the right of property and right to
possess the said property when this tction
was commenced was in the plaintiff, and
assets his damages in the premises at the
sum of $125. R. W. Hyeus, Foreman.
By the aboye verdict the jury gave to
the plaintiff not only all the chatties,
valued at $460, but 125 damages be
sides. When the jury reported the ver
dict to the court one of the jurymen saw
the error and called attention to it (for
they had only intended to give plaintiff
$125 as the rightful amount due), and
the court instructed the jury to again
prepare a verdict, which they did. -The
second verdict found "that at the com
mencement of this action the plaintiff
had the right to possession of the chat
ties in said writ of replevin to the
amount of $125." They also found that
defendant had the right to the rest of the
chatties valued at $333, which allowed
Doom Brothers $125 instead of 350 for
the rent of the farm.
