Henry ford is . not an anarchist t A jury of 12 farmers hare said so by their verdict, in which they found The Chicago Tribune guilty of libel when It attached that stigma to the name of the great manufacturer. "We find the Chicago Tribune guilty and attach a verdict of six cents." Tliis sentence from the foreman of the jury which for three months has listened to the most famous case of its kind in history and which debated more than 10 hours before It arrived at Its conclusion, were the lines of the final act in the dramatic event which has attracted the attention of the entire country Henry Ford himself was not In court to share in the triumph. He was In the New Hampshire woods with his friends, Thomas Edison and John Burroughs. Judge Alfred J. Murphy of Mr. Ford's counsel made a formal statament for his principal: "F-rla Vindicated." d "The important issue has been determined," said Judge Murphy. "Money damages were not sought by Mr. Ford.

As the courtroom emptied after the announcement of the verdict and the news of the decision rendered spread, cheer after cheer broke forth and a band, returning from a picnic, stopped to add its brass notes to the din. There was a tunse moment when the Jurors f.led into the box for the last time. Their foreman, in a voice shaking with the emotions of the moment, spoke in such a low tone that he could scarcely be heard. The clurk read back ihe formal verdict: "You do say upon your oath that the said defendant The Tribune company, is guilty In the manner and form as the said plaintiff hath in his declaration in this case complained against him and ycu assess the damages of the said plaintiff on occasion of the premises over and above his costs and charges by him about this suit iind in his behalf expended, at the sum of six cents damages." The editorial in which The Tribune attacked Henry Ford and branded him as an anarchist. was printed in 1916. The case has been fought through several courts on one point or another ever since, finally arriving through a. change of venue asked by The Tribune In Mt. Clematis. Th. charge which Judge Tucker made to the Jury dealt mainly with the laws of libel and contained among others, the following points: "The Tribune claims that they carefully Inquired as to what Mr. Ford's attitude wr.s going to be as to the care of hia man who joined the national guard and that they based the editor.ai characterizing him as an anarchist on that information. They admit the publication and insist that It was true aud therefore justified; and that even If not true it was fair comment upon a matter of public Interest, either of which defenses are sufficient if proven true. The burden, however, is upon the defense when they attempt to make either of the defenses mentioned. They must establish either tho truth of the charge they made, or that it was fair comment within the meaning of that . term. "A newspaper has th same right s an individual to its opinions and convictions no more and no less." The court further Informed the jury that If they found that the charge was untrue they must find for the plaintiff. He declared that there was nothing ambiguous about the editorial. It called Mr. Ford an anarchist and the only way tha defendant could escape being found guilty of libel was to prove that charge. He said further thi t the Jury must accept the popular conception of the meaning of the term "anarchist." Counsel for Tbs , Chicago Trlbuns Bade no effort to appeal the case and accepted the verdict as It stood. ! RIVER VALLEY LEADER v- HOURS TEN and frolie at the resorts, joy-rid- e Knew When to Behave.
