DIR. RIDCAAN
DISCHARGED
Judge Park Dismisses Action
Against the Doctor. Lack of
Evidence the Reason.

The sudden termination, to what
was expected to be a very sensation
al case came at about eleven O'Clock
Wednesday morning, when B. R Cog
gins, attorney for DR.. Ridgman, NOV
ed that the defendant be discharged
for want Of evidence. The court
granted the motion on the theory
that no conviction would be sustain
ed and thereupon discharged the de-
PENDANT. Il was evident that from
the very start the defense would fight
every inch of the way, and when the
evidence was all in, the state had
failed to prove that the woman was
In physical condition necessary to
sustain a conviction. 1t was then that
the defendants attorney moved that
the defendant be discharged. In AN
incredibly short time after the dis
charge of DR.. Ridgman, the news waf
known all along the street and the
Doctor was kept busy returning the
hearty hand shakes and receiving
the congratulations of his friends.
Upon the dismissal of the case a.
ganst DIR. Ridgman, court was adj
journed until tomorrow, Thursday
morning, Judge Park has gone TO
Stevens Point and will return here
tomorrow morning, when the case of
the state of Wisconsin, against Geo.
Wal1ely will be commenced.
