Bez Directed To Pay Damages In Wingate Case
Seid Bez, former Sophia merchant now in St Petersburg, Fla., must pay Oliver Lemon Peck of Sophia the $13,500 verdict from a circuit court jury in June. Judge Ben H. Ashworth overruled a motion to set aside the verdict and grant a new trial. A 90 day stay of execution was granted to allow an appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeals, with Bez posting a $1,000 bond and paying 6 percent interest from July 2 plus court costs. Peck sought $50,000 for permanent injuries from an assault in front of Bez’s Sophia store on May 8, 1944. A prior trial awarded $23,416 which the Supreme Court later set aside on a legal technicality.
