great and the amount OF testimony so
yoluminous that the decision was not
expected for some weeks. although the
final outcome was foreshadowed in
questions submitted by the court to the
attorneys a few days ago for further
argument. IL must be patent to every
one that Judge Perry has taken into
consideration the large number of peo-
ple pecuniarily interested in the con-
trOversy and has worked night and day
on the case since II was submitted. Nor
should the court stenographer, Mr.. J.
w. Jones, be denied a need of praise
in this matter, for the rapidity with
which he has transcribed his notes has
contributed much to an early decision.
The judgment Of the court in this
case covers about one hundred pages
of ordinary typewriting. The history
ton and all the important correspond
ence between parties is reproduced. In
a nutshell, the court DEGREES that the
plaintiff, John II. Soper. is entitled to
what he brought suit for. This is more
fully set out in the final portion of the
decision. which is copied verbatim, as
follows:
