Ward Friend, who was this week
tried in our county court on a charge
OF rape, on information made by
Mary Gardner, won an easy victory
over his would-be traducers, the girl
and her father. The evidence showed
plainly that Mr.. Friend was an inno-
cent man, and he was promptly &C
quilted. The prosecution looked Ikea
detestable blackmailing scheme from
the start, and the jury evidently SO
regarded it. Mr.. Friend could have
settled the case without going to trial
but like true man he refused to be
"bled" and he preferred to be yindi-
Gated in open court. Windy William
Gardner, the girls father, has whole
lot to learn yet, and when a man is
eager to go to law without good case,
he generally pays very dearly for his
education. The Star congratulates
Mr.. Friend on his easy victory and
splendid vindication.-Elk Lick Star.
Mr.. Friend is son of w. HI. Friend,
Esq, of Friendsville, and his friends
in Garrett county are greatly pleased
at his acquittal.
