Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Courier, March 31, 1899, p. 1. The County Clerk's office yesterday issued what is legally called a "dedimus." It was an order issued by the Clerk on the authority of the Judge authorizing and empowering Lucian J. Jerome, acting British Consul at Havana, Cuba, as a commissioner, to take the depositions of Dr. John G. Davis in the cases of Emma Whisnand and Margaret L. Todd, against the Monon for personal damages.
