ing on a note that Mr.. Golf gave to j. w..
Raymond in 1889, on the capital location
bonus. The giving the note wa admitted,
but MIR. G0tf's defense is that the note was
secured under a false representation; that
the 100000 required had already been
subscribed when Mr.. Raymond sought a
contribution from Mr.. Golf. and that Mr..
Colts contribution was really secured for
the purpose of relieving the actual sub.
scribers of SOM of the burden that they
had imposed upon themselves.

plaintiff, testiti, d as to the ownership of
the note by the plaintiff, and the plaintiff

The jury in the Roberts case was called
into court during the afternoon. They
stated that they had not agreed, and Fore
nan Patterson said he did not think the
jury would agree. The court then gave
the jury fuller instructions as to their
right to find a verdict of a lesser degree
than that charged in the information, and
the jury again retired, taking with them
the type-written instructions just given by
the court. At $50 the jury came into court
again and wanted to be discharged, but the
Judge. after giving them more good advice,
sent them out again.
At O'Clock the jury came in, and IN
response to the court stated that they had
arrived at a verdict. Foreman Patterson
stated that the jury found the defendant
guilty of assault with a pistol with intent
to do bodily harm. the same without JUST.

and then adjourned court.
Judge Francis was subsequently fined
500 for contempt of court.
