MISS LOCKHART
WINS LIBEL SUIT
TRIAL AT W0RLAND
JUDGE RULES SHOOTING OF
SHERRIN UNJUSTIFTABLE AND
UNLAWFUL

The jury in the 100000 libel
county and prosecuting attorney of
this county, against Caroline Lock
hart, returned a verdict in favor
of the defendant, which was read
in court at 9:45 o'clock, Thursday
morning. Mr.. Goppert had sought
damages in connection with an al
legged libelous article published in
the Cody Enterprise, edited in 1928
by Miss Lockhart, relating to the
shooting of a Greybull man in a
liquor raid. The jury is under
stood to have arrived at its deci-
sion after deliberation of but. a few
hours.
Judge v. ]. Tidball, presiding on
the case, in his instructions to the
jury, declared that the shooting of
George "Scotty' Sherrin, during the
liquor raid in June, 1928, was
"unjustifiable and unlawful and al
though Mr.. Goppert was able to
show by competent evidence that
he had not been directly responsible
for the actions of the special Of
ficers who conducted the raid, his
activities as county and prosecuting
attorney were such that attorneys
for the defense closely associated
him with the incidents leading up to
the raid, one man was KILL
ed and a second wounded while
the men were endeavoring to make
their getaway from the officers. A
quantity of liquor was taken at the
time.
Although there were about TWEEN
ty-five witnesses called by both
sides of the controversy, a great
many of them gave immaterial
testimony, Mr.. Goppert, VIM. H.
'Loomis and w. G. McGonigle, one
of the deputy sheriffs at the time
of the raid were the principal wit
nesses. A. E. Carey, the bootleg
ger wounded at the time his part
ner was killed, was also a witness
for the defense, and gave a graphic
story of how he and Sherrin were
fired upon by the deputy sheriffs
when they attempted to elude ar
rest.
Miss Lockhart testified that she
had received the details of the
shooting from her city editor, Fred
Schaub, and that the story had
been approved by her attorney, w.
L. Simpson, before it was publish
ed. She was not subjected to IN
cross-examination by PLAINTIFFS at
torney.
Owing to illness, C. E. Harkins
of Worland took very little part in
the case as Goppert's attorney, the
full weight of conducting plaintiffs
action falling upon the shoulders
of Tom McKinnie, young attorney
of Basin. E. E. Enterline of Casper
Lin Noble of T~hermopolis and Chas.
Bronze of Basin represented the de-
PENDANT, Miss Lockhart, and com
posed a formidable array of legal
talent in defeating the libel suit.

COmpetitive Spirit.

A competitive spirit is a great thing
IN sport, golf in particular.
The winning of the British amateur
by Jess Sweetser is the best proof
that could be offered of the high value
of competitive spirit
Recently in, discussing Sweetser's
feat with one of the games greatest
professionals, who prefers that L do
not mention his name, I was told:
SWeetser won because he is a
fighter L rate four other American
amateurs who invaded Great Britain
as better players than Sweetser but
none of them has his fighting spirit
'Sweetser came from behind in most
of his matches to win. At the finish
of the first nine holes he was down
to his opponent. That means consid-
erable when only 18 holes are played.
HE is great golfer but his com
petitive spirit is even greater It was
his best asset in winning the British
title"
