80MK INTERESTING TETIMONY
County Attorney Travis Finds
Among His Papers Part of the
testimony of Dr. (?) CrlKgs
While Cross questioned
by Judge Ramsey.
In 1882 Dr. William W. Iliggs was
practicing medicine in Weeping
Water. Some time during that year
Joseph N. Thompson, an employe
of the stone quarry, was struck in
the eye by a small piece of stone.
Thompson went totheaboTe-named
doctor for treatment. The doctor
bade the patient accompany him to
a drug store, where he mixed blue
vitriol with some other medicine
and put it into his eye to get the
piece of stone out. The medicine
caused Mr. Thompson to lose the
use of his eye and he brought suit
against Iliggs for $2(X) damages, re
taining H. D. Travis as hisattorney.
Iliggs obtained a change ot venue
to Louisville and the case was tried
before ICsquire Cleghorn and a jury.
Iliggs retained Gibson & Meickle,
and, in the meantime, B. S. Ramsey
had been secured to help Mr.
Travis.
When Dr. Iliggs had been put up
on the stand and the defendant's
attorney had examined him, Judge
Ramsey cross-examined him. The
following is a part as taken down
at the time by II. I). Travis, who
found it among his old papers the
other day:

on anatomy."
U. "Have you ever studied the
natural sciences':"

y. "When you examined the 'eye'
did you see a spot on the cornea':"
A. "No. When I looked at his

A. "Well, it was a sore eye."
y."hat is the matter with it

A. -"There is a cataract on the

J. "What is a cataract':"
A.--"lt is something that prows
on the outside of the eye."
y. "Is it painful':"
A. "Yes, it hurts pretty bad some
times." J- "Is not cataract an opaque
condition of the crystalline lens':"
A.- "I don't know what you mean."
j "Was there any abrasion of
the sclerotica on the cornea ot the
eye'r"
A. "I don't know anything about
your big names."
y "Where did you graduate?"
A. "From the American College
of Baltimore."
y. "What course did you take in
that institution?"
A. "I took three courses."
y. "How long were you there?"
A.- -"Six weeks."
y- "How many and what chairs
in the collge?"
A. "Cheers? I don't know what
you mean. (Meaning explained.)
A. "There was the chair of gram
mar and the chair of orthography.
There was no 'cheer' of astronomv
as I know of."
(J "Who occupied the chair of
grammar?"
A. "Dr. Hickman, M. D."
y. "Were there any other chairs
in the college?"
A. "Yes."
y. "What were they?"
A. "I don't remember."
y. "Was there a chair of obste-
tries?"
A. "I don't know whether there
was a chair of obstacles or not."
y. "Did you take a course in that
institution?"
A. "Yes."
y. "In what year did you grad
uate?"
A. "In 1832."
y. "How long did you practice
allopathy?"
A. "Sixteen years."
y. Have you been practicing the

A.-"I have."
y. "How long have you practised

After Ramsey had concluded his
examination of the doctor the case
was given to the jury, and the jury
agreed to disagree.
The case was again tried at Louia-

JOE, the Popular Clothier,
OpGraSsCo-u.ee Corner,
ville before Ivstptire Cleghorn, and
A. N.Sullivan had been retained as
the defendant attorney. The sec
ond trial resulted in the plaintiff
being awarded a verdict for f2tX).
The defendant appealed the case,
but failed to have his appeal bond
filed within ten day.-!. It was mailed
on the tenth day at Weeping Water,
but for some reason the trains were
late and the bond failed to reach its
destination until the eleventh after
judgment was rendered. The bond
was filed by Cleghorn, both as to
form and sufficiency, but not as to
time. The defendant filed a tran
script of the judgment in district
court with a view to perfecting
the appeal.
The plaintiff filed a motion to dis
miss the action in district court for
the reason that the bond had not
been filed within the statutatory
time and the appellate court there
by not obtaining jurisdiction. The
motion to dismiss the action was
sustained by Judge Pound.
Thompson's, attorney then com
menced a direct action upon the
appeal bonds for the amount of the
verdict amlf costs. It was tried in
district court and Thompson
awarded a verdict for the whole
amount.
The case was then taken to the
supreme court by the defendant,
where the decision of the lower
court was affirmed nt the Januaty
term, 1SSC.
George W. Adams, now mayor of
Weeping Water, signed Iliggs' ap
peal bond and found that he had to
pay the amount awarded Thompson
and the costs, amounting to nearly
$300.
