't-1 u if The estate ot Scweli Sleuman must pay the efetaie of Eva Hart t3,021.92, according to a decision by County Judge Lealie. The award ia entirely for the destruction of property and nothing ia allowed for tha death of Eva Hart. iieuinan killed the girl the night of October 17, last year, and demolished the furniture in the house, alashlng rugs, pictures and the girl's wearing apparel. Her diamonds which he also had given her were torn from their settings and mysteriously done away with. Suit was brought by Edward E. Burns, representing tha Harts against George Sleuman, executor of hla brother's estate. The sum of t,000 was asked for the death itself and H.279.85 for apparel and furniture destroyed. Judge Leslie held that the damage in the death of the girl was abated by the death of Sleuman himself. On furniture he al lowed 144.42, 10 per cent less than was asked, and on wearing apparel 11.212 50, which is Just half what was prayed for. The diamonds were estimated by the peti tioners at 11.365 and the court held there was no depreciation here, though he thought there was in the case of the fur niture and wearing apparel. "The evidence shows," said the court In discussing his decision, "that Sleuman had given these things outright to the girl and the transfer waa actually made. Had there been Just a promise to give them, there could be no recovery on account of the admitted illicit relations." from the use of such toy pistols, percussion caps and other dangerous explosives.
