JURY'S VERDICT is.
FOR MRS. OAKLEY
Finds for Her to Recover S55 from Miss
Julia Frost for Articles Taken on
Search Warrant.

After being out over two hours and
once reporting a disagreement. the jury
in the case of Mrs. Josie (Johnson) Oak
ley of Vernon against Miss Julia Frost of
the same town reported early last evening
for the plaintiff to recover so. This
was an action of troyer to recover for
articles in Miss FroSt's possession which
the plaintiff claimed were hers and which
Miss Frost obtained on a search war
rant. 1t is the plaintiffs claim that Miss
Frost's brother. the late j. O. Frost, gave
Mrs. Oakley most of the articles in ques-
tion, while the defense claimed they be-
longed to Miss Frost and were taken by
the plaintiff without right. The verdict
is regarded by Mrs. Oakley as vindca-
tion of herself with respect to the charge
brought against her some time ago by
the state.
The opening argument for the plaintiff
was made by Attorney +. f. Barber At
torney Il. w Gibson argued for the de-
fendant and Attorney c. s. Chase closed
for the plaintiff. Judge f. ID. E. Stowe
appointed III. O. Buxton of Putney fore
man of the jury. The case had been on
trial since Saturday forenoon. 1t is ex-
pected that the case will go to the su-
preme court.
