ATLANTIC, Ia, April 2S.-(special.) 1.-THE
defense in the Goodspeed case. wherein an
action has been comenced TO oust County
Attorney Goodspeed from office on the
charge of mismanagement and malfeasance
in office, scored great victory yesterday
when motion to instruct the jury was
made. The judge did not sustain the
motion. but in his ruling he knocked out
nine of the fifteen counts against Mr.
Goodspeed, and some of them were the
main stays of the prosecution. This leaves
but six counts for the jury to consider and
many of them are trivial and clerical
errors. The general supposition now is
that the jury will disagree or acquit him.
