Stilt ni n Srcnipl to n Ilrcncli of I'rom- ine CUMC. The trial of the suit of J. A. Flory , nn attorney of Newark , O. , against R. 0. Henry nnd R. H. Spcnce , comprising the law firm of Henry & Spence of Mt. Ayr , la. , was commenced In the federal court yesterday afternoon. The suit la a sequel of the fam ous Gelgcr-Payno breach of promise case which created such a sensation in Mt. Ayr a few years ago. The plaintiff In the present suit claims that ho was retained by Miss Rhoda Golger of Newark to bring action against R. C. Payne , ono of the wealthiest farmers of Rlnggold county , living at Mount Ayr. for breach of promise to marry and seduction. As the notion wns to bo brought In the Iowa town Flory says ho employed Henry & ' Bpenco to n'sslst him In prosecuting the case , i the agreement being that the plaintiff waste to nccuro nil the depositions nnd attend to | the work at his end of the lino. A further i agreement was made , it Is alleged by Flory , that In the event of MUs Gclgor winning the suit , she was to receive one-half of the damages , Henry & Spence two-thirds nnd Flory one-third of the other half. Miss , Gelger won her case after a most sensational trial nnd secured a Judgment against Payne for $16,000 and costs , amounting In nil to $17,997.36 , .which amount Payne paid. Flory now sues for hla share , amounting to I $2,999.58. Payne Is ono of the witnesses nnd , as he expressed It yesterday , Is here to "watch the lawyers fight over his money. " The breach of promise suit against Payne In 1895 attracted widespread attention at the time. Payne Is n unique character nt Mt. Ayr and has grown exceedingly wealthy from the products of his broad acres and from loaning his surplus cash to his more needy fellow farmers. lie la commonly known as Dad Payne nnd Is probably the best known man In Rlnggold county. He Is In the neighborhood of 65 years of age , .whereas . Miss Rhoda Gelger was scarcely out of her teens at the time of her suit nnd was n beautiful young woman. During a visit to Mt. Ayr she met and became acquainted with Payne , and he In turn fell In love with her nnd pro posed marriage. Later , when Mlsa Gelger returned to Ohio to prepare for the wed ding , his love began to turn cold. He finally changed his mind and broke off the match nnd married another woman. Miss Gelger , who has since married , then brought eult nnd secured a verdict of $16,000 In her favor. With the exception of passing sentence on Wheeler and Hough and sundry convicted bootleggers the criminal calendar for this term 's ' disposed of. ( Henry Marker , convicted of bootlegging for the third time , was sentenced to fifteen months In the penitentiary at Ft. Madison. George H.
