Sned don in his $5,000 damage suit? This ls the question that is caus ing much discussion -today. F. W. Reeder, attorney for Mr. Watkins, maintains that he has Jf County Clerk Watson has complied with tho law and Harry G. Hoy, attorney for Chas. Sneddon maintains that ho has not. Both cite law to show that the other ls wrong and Mr. Hoy has. a letter from County Clerk Watson in which he states ho did not enter the judgment because Judge Coko had overruled tho motion. Mr. Reeder says that ho compiled strictly with the' law in tho case and that there is no alternative for County Clerk Watson as tho 1909 statutes of Oregon stato that tho county clerk "shall" enter the judg ment. Whether this is one of tho cases when "shall" may bo inter preted as "may" will probably bo determined when at tho next torm of court tho court Is asked for tho final decree, Mr, Hoy maintains that there Is absolutely no foundation for tho story that Watkins has obtained a default judgment of $5,000 against Mr. Sneddon. Ho says that tho stat utes provide differently and cites thoni to prove It. Also that Mr. Reeder's contention has absolutely no effect on the final outcome of tho litigation. As near as a layman can got at the proceedings, It seems that when tho summons of the suit was filed, no answer was made to the petition but Mr. Hoy canio In with a motion to strike out the complaint. This was argued and his motion was overruled. Meanwhllo no answer had been filed and tho time allowed elapsed. No extension of time being asked, Mr. Reeder maintains that ho simply filed tho motion for Judg ment by default" and that under tho law the clerk must enter It and as such It will sand unless set aside by an order of the court. Mr. Hoy maintains that such a motion caunot prevent tho trial of the case before a Jury at tho next term of circuit court. Saturday, Tho Times erred slight ly In reporting the case In stating that the Judgment had been render ed bv Judco Coke, when It should 'have stated according to Its Infor mation, It was entered by County Clerk Watson.
