JURY'S VERDICT
FOR L.A.FRIEDMAN

Attorney Gibbons, for the defense,
closed his argument to the jury in
the Jones-Friedman libel suit shortly
before noon adjournment of the Dis
trict Court Attorney Kepner, for
plaintiff, commenced his closing ar
gument at 1880 o'clock this afternoon,
talking for an hour. The case was
then submitted to the jury, which had
been previously charged by Judge
Ducker.
The jury was out but twenty min
utes, when verdict was returned for
the defendant. 1t is understood that
but one ballot was taken.
This case was one of the most i'm
portant civil actions ever tried in the
county, involving damages of $780,
600. It's trial lasted for ten days and
the costs will probably run well along
in the five figures. Judge Mack, lead
ing counsel for plaintiff, quit the case
although no formal notice of with
drawal was given the court Thursday
and left for Reno. 1t was given out
that his action was due to sickness.
