May 26,1899. The jury in the case of the State Bank of Indiana against Benjamin F. Hillis, the Indiana Hedge and Wire Fence Company, Sterling R. Holt and others, which was brought to this city on a charge of venue from Clinton county, and which has been on trial for 8 days, returned a $500 verdict this morning for damages against the fence company and finding for the other defendants. Hillis gave the company a note for $500 for a quantity of the fence and when the paper was sold to the bank. Mr. Holt and the other defendants, who were officers in the company, indorsed it. When it became due, Mr. Hillis refused to meet the obligation on the grounds that the fence had been misrepresented to him and wasn’t worth the time it took to put it up. The verdict of the jury releases him from the payment of the note and holds the company responsible. The banks holds 8 other notes, aggregating $12,000, which were procured from Clinton County farmers in a similar manner, but as the same questions are involved in each case it is not likely that the others will be tried, although the attorneys representing the bank say they will insist on a separate trial in each instance.
