THE LAW OF II.
THE "GI0BE, CENsURED FOR JOUR
NALISTIC ENTERPRISE.
The Grand Jury Return Their Indictments
in Court just as the "Globe' Had Previ-
ously Reported Thsm-Names of Indicted
and Non-Indicted-The Jury Cautioned
Not Le.k-Other Court Matters.

The district court was in session yester-
lay, Judge H. r. Brill on the bench.
Case No. 81 was on trial. This was suit |
to recover note by Catherine Seibert from
Jacob Manner. Mr.. G. D. O'Brien appeared
for the plaintiff, and the defendants inter
eets were committed to Mr.. S. L. Pierce.
The jury being sworn, Mr.. O'Brien adj
dressed them in his clients behalf. He
read the pleadings in the case, which set
forth that the note in controversy had been
given to defendant ii trust, and that de-
fendapt lad refused to turn the same over
to plaintiff when asked for it. The de-
fendart setting up the plea that
be held the note to secure the payment of
certain sums of money to James M. Cooley
for the erection of q house for plaintiff.
This agreement was denied and nothing in
the contract between Cooley and defendant
gave the intimation of any such agreement.
To complicate matters, Mr.. O'Brien stated
that, under the State law, which gave any
body the right to intervene in anybody
else's business, Messrs. Gustave Munsch
and August Eggert came into the suit. They
claimed that they had advanced the lumber
to Cooley on the understanding that Main
ment would be made for his lumber. Coun-
was drawn on Mai, yer by Cooley, accepted
by Manner, but Mrs. Seibert had not &C
cepted. Again. an order for 1915 was drawn
personally on Mrs. Sebert by Cooley, but
not accepted by Manner. Orders less in
amount were attached to defendants an
swer, and such as Mrs. Seibert had duly ac-
cepted or gwen, she was ready to pay. But,
continued counsel, she did not propose pay
ing Cooley except under the stipulations of
his contract, that, he had failed to fulfil.
If the plaintiff was ordered to make the pay
ment to Cooley. rather Munsch & Eegert,
it would cause her to pay for lumber not
used by Cooley in her house.
Mrs Seibert was the first witness called,
and corroborated counsel's statement of the
case.
Mr.. Pierce made answer, setting forth that
the money was due Cooley, and that the
agreement was that Manner should hold the
note as collateral security for all payments
ON Cooley's contract as fast as the work was
done. In brief, he denied all the statements
averred on the part of plaintiff.
MI. Manner was put on the witness
stand.
