Non-Suits Granted in Dolphin-Dimmick and Vernon Cases
Judge Simonton granted non-suits in two cases yesterday. Dolphin Dimmick v. J. Steel centered on a claimed two sevenths interest in a new coal company after a leverage deal with West Ridge. Steel denied the pact and the court dismissed the suit. Conrad Vernau v. German Building and Loan Association involved stock premiums charged by secretary Goodman, with the court ruling Goodman acted as an individual, not secretary, so the suit was dismissed. An Archbald trial featured a complicated trespass dispute over a 34 acre Elmhurst-area plot, where a husband wife dispute and cross-claims led to a dramatic withdrawal of opposing counsel, and a verdict for the plaintiff. The Johnson v. Archbald borough case concerned damages for a fall on Main Street, with contributory negligence argued against the elderly plaintiff.
