| brett and Andrew Monroe. all old and
respected citizens of Medicine Lake.
The state endeavored to attack Mr..
NlcAey's good reputation by G. E. Full
kerson, J. G. Lewis and P. Besseriere,
banker and lumberman of Medicine
Lake.
Attorney L. J. Onstad made an
eloquent address on behalf of the
state. He was followed by D. E.
Mclaughlin, who made a telling
plea to the jury in behalf of the de-
fendant, riddling the states case so
badly that it looked like a sieve. At
torney Mclaughlin was followed by
Attorney Arthur LeSeuer, noted
attorney of st. Paul, who spoke also
for the defense, making splendid
patriotic address, in which he made
a very learned and eloquent discourse
on sedition and sedition laws and
their meaning and application. At
torney Truax w. Greer made a splen-
did and analytic speech to the jury
in supreme effort to save the state
which his actions indicated had been
lost since the first few sentences ut
tered by Attorney LeSeuer, but to
no avail.
The general sentiment is that the
verdict was a righteous one, and in
accord with the law and evidence and
in full harmony with the great prin-
clples of liberty and democracy, for
which the farmer boys of Sheridan
county are fighting for in France
and for which patriotic citizens at
home always contend.
