Its case against Dr. Shoebridge, appealed from Justice Wedjrwoou's court, occupied the greater part of the day yesterday in the First district court, Mr. Gaeh defending. The Enquirer s only Whitecotton rep resented its eide or the case. At o:ou o'clock, after being out onlv half an hour, the jury returned a verdict, no cause of action against 'he defendant. This saddles the coets of the case in both courts onto the plaintiff This is the caee .wherein Graham's purchase of liquors during prohibition days in I'rovo was shown, when it was being tried in Justice Wedgwood's court. The Enquirer alleged in its Crst complaint com-plaint that Dr. Sooebridire as indebted in-debted to it in the sum of $153 Oi), bal-aixeou bal-aixeou account for advertising and subscription. On reaching the district court the complaint was amended, alleging al-leging the balance to be $112.00. It was ainusii g on the trial to note the exertions of John C. Graham, manager of the Enquirer, to prove said account. After $'3.0J of the account had been knocked out on a point of law he swore positively in the direct examination that his books showed, alter allowing all credits, that Dr. Shoebridge was indebted to him $96 00. Then on crjss-examination after hum-ininsr hum-ininsr and hawing for a long time over his hooka the f-lippery manager admitted ad-mitted that hie b-joks showed, and swore to it positively, that the doctor was indebted to him only $09.10. Then Mr. Gash proceeded to present him w ith receipts signed by himself , and other document which he acknowledged ac-knowledged that tie hai f-uned, until the defense proved beyond a question Of a doubt that Dr. Shoebridge had paid every d jllar that he owed and ten cents more, and so the jury found. 1 From the Enquirer's books as a mat ter ol fact, no expert even could determine de-termine whether the account showed Dr. .Shoebrid indebted to the paper or the papei debted to Mr. Shoe- - bridge, and it ."ppeared in court that rw-nage'- - ore to anything al- " mZ?18 4t ijy . s of getting a verdict, j ,U1, didn't .
