A TELEPHONE CASE DECIDED

In the Federal Court in Favor of the Graham Bell Patents.

Judge Woods this morning rendered a decree in favor of the American Bell Telephone Company by enjoining Cassius Alley, of Metamore, this State, from making, using or selling any telephones, embracing or embodying the improvements patented by Alexander Graham Bell. The suit was origally brought against Thomas W. Alley, Cassius Alley and Jonathan M. Van Scoyoc.

Recently the complaint was discussed as to Thomas Alley and Scoyoc, and Cassius Alley then agreed that the injunction petitioned for should go against him. In accordance with the agreement he delivered to the court all the telephone instruments of the Bell patent he had been using.
