MIXED VERDICT
IN LIBEL SUIT
Damages for 900 Against
Standard Publishing Co.
Nothing Against GIaSmann.

The jury in the libel case of lola Lewis
against william Glasmann and the
Standard Publishing company. after three
hours elaboration, returned a verdict
shortly before S o'clock last evening for
$1,000 against the Standard Publishing
company and no cause for action against
Glasmann. The amount asked was $4,000.
The case was given to the jury about 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon after the
whole day had been used in the argu-
ment of the attorneys.
Attorney j. ID. Skeen opened the argu-
ment which occupied all of the forenoon
session. He characterized the testimony
OF several of the witnesses for the de de
Tense as prepared statements. He was fol-
lowed by Attorney Farnsworth for the de-
Tense. There was some disappointment
when the attorneW. arose TO plead his case.
take the matter out of his attorney S
hands and present his own argument to
the jury Attorney G. G. Richards closed
for the prosecution.
There were many rumors afloat this
evening relative TO an alleged attempt
that had been made TO communicate with
veniremen who had been drawn in the
case but who were excused for various
reasons. II is stated that Juror +. J.
Wilkins, who was excused for cause, was
approached by a friend who said he had
talked with Glasmann and the latter
asked him If he knew where Watkins
stood. After replying in the negative he
was asked if he could find out. but he
failed to see Watkins until after he had
been excused from the jury. 1t is also
stated that Irving Emmett. prior to his
being examined for a juror, was called up
over the telephone by some one who, after
asking If he was not a juror in the case.
endeavOred to make an appointment with
him to talk the matter over. Mr.. Emmett
refused and asked the name of his ques-
toner. Instead of a reply being made the
conversation was ended by the man who
called hanging up the receiver of the tele-
phone.
II is not believed that any of the men
who were retained as jurors were APP
proa cherd.
There is still two additional cases pend
ing against the same defendant and in
each the amount of damages asked is $10,-
600 The plaintiffs in these actions are
T. G.. Richards. step father to lola Lewis
and Alice Lewis Richards, mother of the
girl. These cases are placed on the cal
endar of the court for Sept. II and l.. II
At the conclusion of the libel case yes
terday the court took up the contempt
proceedings against the Standard Publish
ing company. William Glasmann and
Frank w. Francis, the so-called editor
of the Glasmann papers This action re-
suited from articles published in the
Standard and Examiner during the trial
of the case brought by j. ID. Skeen
against Councilman William ]. Craig.
After the presentation of a motion by the
defendant to dismiss the action. the case
was continued until this morning.
