They were called as wit nesses yesterday by' Albert Moses of Albert Moses A Sons, hat dealers. The firm Is being sued for f3100 by the Cen tral Hat Company who sold the hat to the Moses firm and claim that they never received payment for them. Moses acknowledged that the company never ceived the money but maintains that they do not deserve it for the hats which they delivered to him were out of date, bent, stained, faded, shopworn and unsalable. Yesterday when the case began, the defendants had a dozen hats as samples to prove their case. But the plaintiff was not satisfied and demanded full proof. Twenty minntes later a wagon loaded with hats backed np to the municipal court building. It took the court bailiffs several hours to bring the hats into court and when their work was ended there was a pile of woven straw that reached the ceiling and filled the room. And today the judge and jury must look carefully at each one of them. Fifteen Hundred Chapeaux Are Haled Into Court. CHICAGO, Jan, 8.
