Charles Coghlan Gets Verdict
in Suit Alleging Persecution
Damages of $523 were awarded
Charles. Coghlan. by a jury of cir
cuit court No. 1, yesterday, the re
sults of his suit against N'icqolas Mil
ler of Woodb'urn, alleging malicious
persecution and suing for .$2050.
The case was hard fought and oc
cupied two days, during that time
numerous witnesses were called and
attorneys of both sides battled over
many points of the law. During the
time that Coghlan was staying with
F.' A. Glatz, the attitude of Miller
towards Coghlan was one of the main
points of discussion of the trial. Tes
timony introduced during the trial
showed that Coghlan during hi3
residence with Glatz was recuperat
ing from wounds received in France,
at Chateau Thierry and the Arson ne-
Coghlan's claims, for damages
were based upon alleged defamatory
remarks said to have been made by
Miller and by charges filed by the
Wood burn man.

v Defended
Stoutly affirming her claim to

tional woman suffrage amendment.
Mrs. Alexander Thompson took issue
with Sheldon of Jackson In the bouse
yesterday when the resolutions com
mittee recommended that Mrs
Thompson and Senator Farrell be
considered Joint authors of senate
joint resolution No. 1. The resolu
tion came np for adoption with the
opening of the house yesterday morn
log. Mr. Sheldon made his recom
mendation and it was at once pro
tested by K. K. Kubll who Bald that
Mr. Sheldon had not called the com
mittee together.
Mr. Sheldon explained that he had
Interviewed Senator Farrell and Mrs.
Thompson and that they agreed to
the co-authorship. Mrs. Thompson
sprang to her feet and turned on Mr.
Sheldon with: "I did not agree to it
Mr. Sheldon, I beg your pardon." Mr.
Sheldon then quoted Mrs. Thompson
as having said, in effect, that she
would be willing to meet Senator
Farrell'a decision.
Mrs. Thompson retorted: "You
