Toledo o.. Feb 19-The circuit court
at noon yesterday rendered a decision in
favor Of the Arbuckles, in the famous

ger of the Woolson Spice Company,
and the only one of the general officers
here, be confined in Jail until such a
time az he produced the books. Not
understanding the decision the case still
hangs fire. The circuit court suspended
Its imprisonment order until March s.
to give the defendant, Mr.. Brigham, and
the Woolson people, opportunity to APP
peal again to the supreme court.
