for Instructed Verdict m
U, S, Cashier Case,
Judge Bean, of the federal court,
this afternoon overruled the motions
for. instructed verdicts in all of six of
the seven: defendants '. in ; the U. S.
Cashier case and allowed it as to
Thomas R. Bilyeu, inventor of the orig

pany in 1913.;
In "allowing" the motion which freed
Bilyeu, Judge Bean said that Bilyeu' 3

was that of a man who sells a product
on initiation. of the buyer. '
