Win .Suit For Wedding Dress
Batesville, Ark., Nov. 12.—A
suit instituted by Weaver-Dowdy
Co. of Batesville against Mrs.
Beulah Taylor-Fritz, on appeal j
to the supreme court, was on j
Monday reversed and remanded. |
The case was tried in the Faulk- j
ner county circuit court the first
I time, and appealed by the Bates
ville company.
It is alleged that Mrs. Fritz
bought one of her wedding
trousseau from the Weaver
Dowdy Co., and failed to pay for
it. She claimed that the dress
did not fit, and that she return
ed it. But the company claims
that she kept the dress for three
or four weeks before she return
ed it and that they had already
settled with the garment makers
who made the dress.
Judgment in the lower court
went to the defendant, but the
case is now reversed and re
manded, and that means that
Weaver-Dowdy Co. will win the
suit and costs of the case.
