grain buyer, and Woodwork, who is
n former policeman, had hired Fouts
to assault him. He asked for $4,000
damages. In the curse of the trial,
witnesses swore that Ingalls, had told

case became involved in q mass of
contradictions. The court in his in
structions told the jurors that mas

saulting Ingalls,, it would be neces-
sary to return a verdict against him,
and the Jurors, after being in session
