go not blame yen for pressing the matter, but regret it for _“Aj;
' the reason that the flaw Department naturally looks to me for ;&E:
' Q an explanation of the very extravagant veraiete retuxnéd in :
‘ those two cases. Judge Fields was in my office Tuesday or ‘-
Wcflnoeday of this flock on His way to Cincinnati, but mafia no _W»
mention of these cases or any preepeet oi their being tried. ,h

With ruierunce to the Reuben Potter case, ifi appears
, from my file that Potber was offered $100.00 for his interest
' ,in the land seught to be taken for right-oi-way, but declined
/ it aha hence the confiemnafiion proceeding. The rmprasentativea
- I of the Congoliflution Coal Unmpawy are very positive that that
Cgmpgny is entitled to @his yight-of-way ané, upbn any fair
‘ investigation cf the mattwr in fihe Circuifi Cwurt, it oughfi to
b? enéirely posxiblo to axolufie ”otter from any compensation
WhatSOfiver. The awaTfi of $1?50.00 in the Fetter base is just
about as excessive and disproporfiionafio as the award of
. $19,700,00 in thg John Bentley case. Personally, I am at an
‘utter 1033 to aeccunb for fihe exfiraordinafiy results in cifiher '
case, except by reference #0 thr pTOVQrbial ”cussefinoss" of
' juries in condeumation proceedings in the County courtsa ’
