The jury in the case of James Crow
ley rs. George Taylor, proprietor of
the Oxford saloon, returned YER
dict Wednesday evening, for $3.50
and interest amounting to $25. The
suit was for recovery of 5000, which
Crowley alleged was lost in roulette
in the fall of 1905 Crowley has an
other suit for trial for an equal claim
against Ed. Rogers, who was a Joint
owner of the Oxford. at the time of
Crowley's alleged losses.
There are rumors that the verdict
in the Crowley-Taylor gambling case
was the result of the different jurors
setting down different amounts and
agreeing upon the quotient, and is
contrary to the statute Us interpreted
by the Supreme Court. Some of the
legal tribunals have been strongly
inclined against this policy, terming
such verdicts as the result of chance.
Perhaps the nature of the case in
duced some of the Jurors to take
chances.

mobile, is in trouble with Col. Lewis
Osborne, the South Bay statesman,
for having frightened his horse while
attached to a plebeian cart, and a
suit for damages has been instituted.
This is an instance in which the
strong arm of the law will be involved
to restrain autOcratic domination.
Sure it is that the autO-driver can
not enter aplea that he could not
see Mr.. Osborne with the brilliant
headlight he carries.
The stenographic notes of the testi-
mOny lately taken by the Railroad
Commission, are under orders for all
the speed possible in extending them
for use of its members. Time is an
important factor and the graphic
phone has been brought into use as a
means of dictation to the typewriters.
Three Of these instruments are now
in use, run by electricity, by which
the notes are translated to and re-
produced by this most wonderfully
incOmprehensible achievement of
scientific discovery. 1t is expected
that the complete record will be tran
scribed in printed characters in about
ten days.
A prominent citizen of Thurston
county, after having read the article
in the STANDARD about Judge Irwin
holding jury sessions in the Superior
Court of Chehalis county from 8 A. NJ.
to 8 P. NJ, with short intermissiOns
at the noon hour, in order to expedite
business and thus save the county
costs, remarked that the Judge is
wise in his generation: When the
lawyers got tired, they are not in
lclined to consume so much time in
arguing objections, making motions
and resOrting to technicalities, thus
bringing the expensive proceedings
to an end for the benefit of the Judge,
and the saving of costs to the county.
