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.
