Dear Sir

JURY HOLDS FOR
FARMER IN SUIT
FOR HUGE AMOUNT

The lone jury case of this term OF
court proved to be one of the most in
teresting and important for wears
tried here. Testimony was taken for
a day and half and the jury was out
for three hours to come in Thursday
night holding for the defendant. The
damages asked for by the plaintiff
were ,000-about the largest sum
sued for in this circuit and the charg-
es of highly scandalous nature af-
fecting the good name of well known
farmer and if proven being a perpet-
ual disgrace to his family.
The case was that of Jules and
Mary Bertrand, husband and wife
aged % and 20 years, VS. Neil Glenn
ents, President of the Banner Cheese
factory in the town of Platteville, and
a well-to-do and respected farmer.
Mrs. Bertrand alleged that during the
week preceding December %, 1917,
Clements had come to the factory
during the absence of Bertrand the
cheesemaker, and by force, attacked
her. Her testimony and cross exam
nation lasted two hours and was of
a scandalous nature Mr.. and Mrs.
Bertrand were the only witnesses for
the plaintiff. They asked $4,000 and
were represented by Kafton & Rey-
nolds, a Green Bay firm of lawyers.
The Bertrands are Belgians who
came to operate the Banner cheese
factory in 1916. They went to Green
Bay, their former home, in March of
this year having been discharged from
the factory when they brought the
named action against Neil Clements.
A KnnVN fn1. n
examination brought out that Mrs.
Bertrand did not tell her husband of
the alleged attack until IS days after
it happened. Testimony was made that
on the 22nd and oath of December
and the LIST of January Mr. and Mrs
Clements and Mr.. and Mrs Bertrand
had gone to the picture show at
Platteville together Mr.. Clements
brought witnesses to prove that he
had not been at the factory on the
days named His checks issued on
those days were Of the greatest as
sistance to him in making an alibi
and convincing the jury of his inno-
cence.
The Clements family consisting of
Mr.. and Mrs Clements and their
three children, were overjoyed at the
outcome of the case. The following
named witnesses appeared on their
behalf without being subpoenaed:
A. j. Rosemeyer, DR.. T. M. Savage,
