News of Iowa.
Special to Times Republican


Fort Dodge, April ia sensational
turn occurred in the famous Meloy
insurance case late Monday afternoon.
At that time Attorney Parker for the
Germania Insurance Company, which
was the defendant in the last case.
asked for q continuance of the case,
and a change of Venue, stating that
there was bribery mixed in the decis-
ion of the jury.
The defense also argues that it is
impossible to gain fair and impartial
jury in this county. because of the
people of the entire county backing the
plaintiff firm, Furlong and Meloy.
Attorney Parker acknowledges that
he has no proof of bribery, but that ne
heard people on the street make state
ments of this kind The plaintiffs
class the move as a play for sympathy,
stating that there is not the slightest
grain of truth in the charges, and fur
Their stating that there are ugly stories
circulated about how certain jury men
had held out to allow the Meloy COM
pany only a small amount of damages.
Judge Evans, who is presiding at
this term of court, as yet has made
no ruling covering this matter.
