Damages to the extent of $142 were awarded Walter O'Donnell, car- «ter, of Kingston, for the death of one horsé and the destruction of a wagon, which were found due to the pegligence of W. J. Purvis in the employ of W. J. Gates, also of King- ston, by the jury which considered the evidefice at the General Sessions of the Peace at thé Court House on Tuesday afternoon. Tho suit which was brought by Mr. O'Donnell against Mr, Gates was for $293. Mr. C. F. Bmith acted for the plaintiff and Mr. Francis King appeared for the defendant. The whole case arose out of an ac- cident which occurred in March, 1926, at a building known as the "old brewery" which was situated on the lake shore near where Simcoe and West streets join King street. Mr. W. J. Gates had the contract to tear down this building and he was using the stone to build a wharf in another part of the city. He hired Walter. O'Donnell to eart the stone from the wrecked «bullding to the new wharf and he hired W. J. Purvis to help with the wrecking of the building and loading the stone onto the "wagons, On the afterngon of March 24th one wall of the building fell and a team owned by Mr. O"Don- nell dnd driven By Frank Palmateer was injured, one horse being so bad- ly cut at the hock joint of the left hind leg that some weeks later it was found necessary to destroy it. The evidence was of a very con- tradictory nature, particularly be- tween W. J. Purvis and Frank Pal- mateer, the two men who were pre the accident occurred. These men could not agree as to what caused the wall to fall nor as to how the horse came by its Injury. A later witness, W. J. Arniel, ex- pressed it as his opinion that noth- Ing short, of an explosion of dyna- mite could hve caused the wall to fall. While Mr. Purvis admitted that he was drilling a hole in which to insert a dynamite charge at the time the accident happened he de- clared that he had not inserted the charge and stated further that thers was no dynamite in the building at the time, Adcording to the story told by Mr. Palmateer, the teamster employed by Walter O'Donnell, he was directed Purvis where to back his team to take out the stone and his evidence was that the accident was caused when Mr. Parvis with & sledge knocked out a certain stone which was in such a strategic posi- tion that the strength of the wholé Palmateer also stated that when the wall fell the the horses were covered with 'stones and the | leg of one horse was held down by || the tongue of the wagon. The wit- ness believed that When the wall fell | it forced the particular horse injur- ed in the accident, against a sharp stone in the foundation of the wall ll whien inflicted the wound that iater resulted in 'death. * Mr. Purvis told a totally different story. He said that he had not di- .| in the Dust his team. On the contrary he did j mot know that Mr. Palmateer was | near the building, until a very few | minutes before the accident because | he was working inside the building. { No stones fell on the hind quarters of the horses, he sald, and if Palma- teer had stayed and helped him with the horses Instead of running to the General Hospital to get Mr. O"Don- nell, the horses would not have been injured. The horse received its in- Jurys when it was plunging to get up and when Mr. Palmateer was run- ning away Instead of holding the horses so that they could not injure themselves, he said. Considerable other evidence was oltered but 'it was main); in corrob- oration of one or the other of these eye-witnesses, The last witness was heard about. §.30-in the evening and Mr. Clarence Smith, of Cunningham & Smith, solicitors for the plaintiff, and Mr. Francis King, of King & Smythe, solicitors fof the defendant, then reviewed the evidence for the benefit of the jury. Judge Madden gave his summing-up about 7.20 and the jury retired with Instructions to report again at 8.15. The jury in this case was George Tett, Delmar J. Cherry, Everton Cronk, Wendling W.
