HOCH DAMAGE SUIT
IS PROVING TO Be
HARD FOUGHT FIGHT
Plaintiff Has Already Introduced
Testimony Of Over Twenty Witness
es and Has Yet More


The Hoch damage suit. on trial in
the circuit court. is proving a hard
fought legal battle, the eight lawyers
involved contesting every inch of the
way. It is very probable that when
the plaintiff rests it's case there will
be a number of nice legal questions
argued before the case is continued.
The plaintiff has already introduced
the testimony of over twenty witnesses
and has yet more. The defendants
may have as many and it would be
futile to hazard guess as to when
the case will go to the jury. A rather
large audience is attending the trial
today.
After having established the fact
that Miss Hoch was caught under a
false store front blown down during
a wind storm. the lawyers for the
plaintiff undertook to prove that she
sustained serious and more or less
permanent injuries. Aside from the
fractured ankle. the attorneys are
seeking to show that she suffered an
injury to the spinal column which has
impaired her nervous system and GER
tain organic functions.
