LoNspALE MAN MUST PAY
Hioh Court Decides Case in Which
Woman Is Plaintiff

.. woman Is FiaintiH
Faribault, June 11.-Mrs. Francis
Sticha of Lonsdale after having
given birth to two illegitimate chill
dren accused William M. Benzfck as
the father. The accusation angered
him and he had her arrested three
or four times. Each time she was
released, but the arrests kept occur
ing. Finally Mrs. Sticha brought a
damage suit for false arrest ana
malicious prosecution In Rice county
district court and she won a verdict
of $4,000. Benzick appealed.
The woman again had the last
word when the supreme court OF
Minnesota upheld the lower court
and ordered the man TO pay, accord
ing to word received from st. Paul.
The first action attempted by
Benzick was for $1,000 damages for
slander. The case was dismissed
and he then made three successive
criminal complaints on the same
charge, under each of which Mrs.
Sticha was arrested. The first was
dismissed by County Attorney Lu-
cius A. Smith, because OF a defect;
the second prosecution failed be-
cause the Justice to whom the case
had been transferred did not appear
at the time and place set for the
trial, the third was tried and Mrs.
Sticha acquitted. She later retaliat-
ed with the trial before Judge A. s.
Children in which she was awarded
SIS, 900 damages. The high court up
held this award.
