on professional business. Sheriff w.

went to show that the statements Of
the Optimist was certainly strong on
that truth and veracity stuff.
At the conclusion of the taking of
the testimony, Attorney Dickinson ad-
dressed the jury for his client. Mr..
Dickinson used all the material he
had and made a good argument under
the conditions, doing all that was pos
sible for the plaintiff. Without pre-
judice we can truthfllly say however,
that the plea of Mr. Beebe to put
the stamp of disapproval upon the
assumption of the plaintiff that when
ne was disbarrred he was still the
most honest" lawyer in the Bing-
ham county bar, was a we'll worded,
most touching rendition of mans
love for his chosen profession.
Attorney G. H. Hansbrough follow
ed Mr. Beebe, and in a straight from
the shoulder talk, reviewed the testi-
mony, bringing forth the weak points
IN the plaintiffs case and the strong
ones In the defense. He made a fine
talk on the freedom of the press it's
usefulness In commenting upon gov.
ernment and officials generally and
made profound impression on the
jury.
The case was given to the Jury
Friday evening at 6 o'clock after an
exhausting chain of evidence had been
introduced to show that the Blackfoot
Optimist, in calling Mr.. Beakley a
shyster was right The testimony of
the plaintiff and ]. A. Toner, coupled
with the corroborate evidence that no
one but Beakley would be in posses
sion OF the facts Of his birth, educa-
ton, etc, and the fact that he had
given Toner a half tone of himself to
use in connection with the article,
proved that he was q liar.
The jury returned a verdict sign
ed by ten Of its number at l o'clock
Saturday morning. Those signing the
verdict were N. J. Thorstenberg. L.
H. Neal, C. S. Dalton, David Wheeler,
