The defendant, Mrs. Shocks, was
subjected to an ordeal of a similar ma
ture, the proceeding being productive
of much amusement.
Drs. Niles and Betz, described as a
veterinary surgeon and a corn doctor
respectively, gave expert testimony as
TO the insanity of the plaintiff and the
defendant, the judge, lawyers, jury and
everybody in the case, including the
experts themselves, which went far to
establish as a fact that they were all
crazy.
When that conclusion was arrived at
it was thought time to close the testi-
mony and then eloquent addresses were
made to the jury by Messers. Wester-
Welt Schroeder and Cherry.
CHARGE TO THE JURY.
Judge Goodwin then delivered his
charge. He said that under the wise
statutes of this state members of a
jury were not permitted to read news
papers Or to receive or entertain any
impressions about the case they were
to try. The object of the law was to
get a jury that knew absolutely moth
ing about anything and the jury in
this case, his honor considered. fully
met the requirements of the law. There
would be 40 harm in giving the par
ties either or both, a divorce. both
were afflicted with original and con-
tinued insanity and it was not par
ticular about the issues between them
only the II children should be donated
TO some orphan asylum. If the chill
dren Inherited any of the character
istics of either the plaintiff or the de-
PENDANT that would be a good way of
Furnishing the asylum The marriage
ceremony had made the plaintiff and
defendant one and the lady was the
one The plaintiff Mr.. Shocks, should
be dealt with herOically as he deserved,
nothing but heroic measures would
meet his case Nothing had been
established by the evidence, but that
didn't matter. however. The jurors
should read the statutes with a view OF
procuring the Indictment of Mr..
Shocks Cor conspiracy in having in
duced the defendant to marry him at
all. He certainly wasn't entitled to a
divorce. 80 days on the rock pile was
what he needed
The jury then returned and brought
in the following Swedish verdict which
was read by Foreman Ole Pehrson:
