The Yankton attorneys OF Herbert
Hall Winslow have made a motion ask
ing Judge Smith to set aside the verdict
in his divorce case. The motion was
heard at Y;mkton on the 31st. 1t will
be rt-.lcmbered that this case was tried
BY jay and that the jury after a short

decree has been denied, and many are
wondering if after all the record is to re-
main unbroken.
