Another Trial Term Sought in Orange County Courts
Newburgh May 12 Justice Platt denied Peter OCantline’s motion to set aside a $25 verdict for Henry Gollow in a suit against Frank Ennis. Gollow sought $195 but received $25 and will bear $68 in costs. Lawyers urge another trial term due to hardships and pending cases like Abbie Green versus Leander and Rose Terwilliger. Green, 85, says a $200 contract for life boarding led to alleged mistreatment and financial strain after a stroke. The Terwilligers deny any money from Green, who lives in Pine Bush.
