ing rival. DR.. Avery can prepare
coffee, toast, Jelly and preserves, as
well as any queen of the kitchen, and

Such was the sum awarded by the
jury in Judge Fowler's court Saturday
night to Ex-Governor Edward SEQ

suit against the Milwaukee Free
Press.
The case went to the jury at noon.
following arguments by the attorneys,
James G. Flanders for the defendants
and Thomas M, Kearney for the
plaintiff.
Charge to Jury.
In his charge Judge Fowler instruct
ed the jury that the defendants, in
order to prove the truth of the al
legged libelous statements, must show
that Major Scofield at the time re-
ferred to in the letter signed "Citi.
zen" was in fact distributing agent
for ex-senator Sawyer and that he
did leave specified sum of money
with the Sturgeon Bay businessman
for the corrupt purpose set out In the
article.
One wan impeacneo.
Mr.. Flanders in his argument es-
sayed a criticism of the conduct OF
the case by the plaintiffs attorneys.
1T is a peculiar thing that Mr..
Scofield, who was so anxious to have
the truth ventilated, should have
stood over the witnesses, through his
counsel, with the club of objection.
preventing all the testimony and in.
formation that he could from being
given in the case.'
Only one man has been impeached
in this case" continued Mr. Flanders,
and that is the plaintiff himself"
In support of this contention Mr.,
Flanders went into the testimony of
Charles Meyer, relative to the Ke
Waunee meeting, declaring that the
three dispositions introduced in re-
buttal of this testimony were not di-
rect contradictions but merely state,
ments that the deponents did not
hear or see the things that Meyer re-
lated. He characterized as improb-
able some of Scofields deniaIs of the
testimony of Meyer and Henry Over.
beck.
No Malice Shown.
Mr.. Flanders insisted that no mall
ice of any kind had been shown. He
urged that II. p. Myrick, editor of the
Free Press, believed that there was
a practice in Wisconsin of using mon
ey to influence legislation and that
relying on the information given in
the Citizen letter he had pub
lished the communication in good
faith and as an illustration OF his
contention.

certain whether or not the commune
cation can be safely published" he
said. He also insisted that Scofield
had not been damaged in any way by
the publication.
Mr.. Kearney, in his opening re-
marks, told the jury that the case on
trial is not political issue and that
all that is demanded by the plaintiff
is justice. He discussed the testi-
mony of Meyer and Overlook at
length and compared it with the tes-
timony of the witnesses for the
plaintiff and pointed out the damage
done to man in the position of the
ex-governor by publication such as
that complained of.
Victory for Newspaper.
The verdict of the jury was re-
turned and delivered to the court Sat
urday night and awards judgment In
favor OF the plaintiff in the nominal
sum OF six cents. Under the provision
that unless judgment in suit for libel
is $50 or over the plaintiff must pay
the costs of the action, SO Mr.. SEQ
field will be required to settle with
the court. The verdict Is a substan.
tial victory for the newspaper.
