District Court, N.D. New York May 11, 1908, No. 7,139 (Williams v. Syracuse & S. R. Co.)

RAY, District Judge.

The patent in suit, No. 31,888, to Luzerne A. Williams, for “design for an insulating plug for electric-line supports,” was applied for October 17, 1899, and issued November 14, 1899, and I find no claim or evidence that the alleged invention antedates the application. Drawings accompany the specifications.
