Continuance Granted in Rutland Damages Case
In Rutland county court Judge Butler granted a defense motion for a continuance in the case of F C Ison of Brookline against D A Barker of Rutland. The motion cited affidavits showing witnesses J Walter Lyons and Thomas H Browne are out of state and unreachable. The suit claims Barker did not hand full funds from Lyons to Wilson as part of a damages settlement and that Lyons influenced the plaintiff’s daughter Evelyn. The plaintiff’s affidavit counters that Lyons will testify the $4,500 paid was the full settlement. The defendant’s affidavits claim Lyons and Browse were in Rutland April first and could have been subpoenaed. One lawyer argued the move aims to push the case to next term.
