WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. JANUARY 16. 1924
(BE LITTLEJOHN -
UPHOLDS DEMM
Effort of M. H. Norris to Collect
$50,000 Damages from Amer
cus People Held Up
.Judge Z. A. Littlejohn, in Sumter
Superior court, has just sustained
a demurrer plea in the ease of M.
H Morris, vs. Mr. and Mrs. ('. F j
fuller, Mr, and Mrs. ,1. S. Bostwick,
\\ T. Lane and Mrs. Mary I’.
Powell, an action to collect $50,000
damages from the defendants nam
ed m the ground that petitioner had
been damaged by certain statements
uttered and cifdtrlated by them and
which, it is alleged, damaged Nor-'
i is' character and profesisonal
standing. The demurrer as to
Mrs. Fowler, howeyer, was only
i nitially sustained, it being order-1
cd by the court that all that por
tion of the petition relating to spe
cial damages asked against Mist
Fowler be stricken. In the ease ol
the other defendants, the petition
was dismissed on the demurrer be
ing sustained.
This is a case involving certain
allegations said to have been made
by the defendants relative to Nor
ris, who was at that time practicing
law at La Grange, but who has since
moved his residence to Columbus.
Norris previously has represented
Mrs. Fowler in certain litigation anc
i s her personal attorney and she had
given him a power of attoney its said
about which certain litigation still
revolves. Norris, several month 1
ago was arrested in Americus and
confined in jail here upon com
plaint but waff released from cus
tody after a hearing in which i.
was brought out that Mrs. Fowlei
feared a certain ‘electric belt’
which he is alleged to have told hei i
he wore and which was further al
leged by her to give to Norris cer
tain definite influences over court,
and jurors, making it impossible foi
an adverse verdict to be rendered ii I
any case in which Norris appeared
as counsel.
Counsel representing-Mis. Fowlei
now have under consideration IK
presentation of a special plea to pre
vent Norris wearing any belt upor
his appearance in court when thi
case comes up for trial on its merit
because of the influence this may
have, upon, their client. Whether < :
not this -will be done, however, re
rm.ins-to decided. Mrs. Fowler anc
the other defendants were repre
rented in the hearing before Judg<
Littlejohn by W. T. Lane, ol
Americus, and Orrville A. Park, of
Macon, Attorney Park being . i
brother of Mrs. Fowler, while Nor
ris plead his own case.
There was a tremendous fruit
crop for 1923. We tell you because
prices forgot to mention it.
