CASE IN HANDS
OF THE JURY.

The first phase OF the case that has
been brought against Clyde Shropshire
by Mrs. Barnes the actress, Is now be-
ing argued to the jury in the Federal
court and will pass into the hands of
those gentlemen this afternoon. As
has been stated before, this case Is a
suit for the recovery Of funds amount
mig to over $1,000 and u.s. 1t might be
said. but the prelude to a breach Of
promise suit involving the same parties
and IN which MRS. Barnes is suing for
$4,000. The major portion OF this
mornings session Of the court was con-
salned Ia arguments made BY the at
torneys on both sides in relation TO the
French statute Of limitations govern
ing payment on debts, etc The attor-
neys for Mr. Shropshire contend that
under that code the alleged debts have
expired and the counsel on the other
side maintained that the case under
consideration was not cOmpmhended
w ANf y AiliNn luNs JhhhN htAt FhNA'i
finally decided to take that branch Of
the evidence out Of the hands Of the
Jury and pass upon II himself In
the contention, which grew quite heated
at times, Mr.. Shropshire himself took
Il hand and argued TO the court AT some
length In support OF the contention that
the French law introduced did form the
basis Of construction OF the Utah law
In relation TO the same matter.
When both sides had rested, the
argument for the prosecution was
opened by Mr. Lewis who, In the course
Of his plea, grew acrimonious In his
references TO the defendant. He re-
lated the story Of the beginning OF the
intimate relations between the plain
tin and defendant, and called atten-
ton 10 the fast life that was led by the
latter Shropshire was q member Of
two clubs IN Paris nj both of which
gambling was carried on. He aclinowl-
edged that he gamblod very much and
that the plaintiff often tried TO induce
him 10 give II up. Lewis argued that
Shropshire must have lost heavily at
times, and finding himself closely
pressed for funds, borrowed from the
plaintiff, and even permitted her TO
pawn her jewemy and clothes for him.
"a man who would do that under
those circumstances said MIR Lewis,
would stoop to anything Ia order to
avoid The payment Of a debt He
called the attention Of the jury to the
demeanor Of the plaindf as compared
with that Of the defendant, and asked
them 20 fudge for themselves which of
the two Is being wronged,
The defense was then opened by
Judge Higgins. who began by saying
that me defendant was the victim Of
an unfortunate association with a de-
signing woman, who from the alpha TO
the omega NJ their relations had care
fully saved every scrap Of evidence or
anything that could serve her purpose.
