The longest case in the recent term
of court, and the one in which it took
the longest time for the jury to reach
n verdict, was the libel suit Of H. c.
Lynn VS.. F. B. Streeter. In addi-
ton, during the entire trial, the court
room was crowded and most of the time
the interest Of the audience was keen.
AS the trial progressed, it became
somewhat tedious, and some Of the
jurymen were not any too well pleased
to be kept from home for so long on
matters that concerned them not at all,
and relative to which they were quite
familiar. The Record has always
been open and above board in its crit
icism of public officials and in it's dis
cussions of the merits and dement's of
public interest. The idea generally
prevails that considerable more than
the evidence in the case itself indirect
ly affected the verdict. The Record
is disposed to believe in the honesty
of the citizenship generally. We be-
iieve that the jurymen were satisfied
in their own mind that they were do
ing the proper thing in what they did

Search for possible victims who

Quiz Fugitive's Wife.
For two hours today Mrs. Marie
Cocchi, wife of the fugitive, was ques-
toned at the district attorneys office.
She insisted she knew nothing that
could throw light on Miss Cruger's
disappearance or murder. She was
not i'll his shop on February IS, the
day the young woman disappeared,
she said, and because of GOODNESS be-
tween her husband and herself, she
did not visit his shop from September
s, 1916, until two days after Miss
Cruger was reported missing and
after her husband had fed.
