VERDICT AT DAKER W IN J jY MR. WEST The Late E. P. Redford. Baker, Or,, April 17.— Ex-Gov ernor West won tonight in the suit brought in Circuit Court here against him by William Wiegand, a Copperfield saloon keeper, fo r damages alleged to have been caused by the removal o f liquor i and saloon fixtures from his sa loon, when Governor W est de- I dared martial law in Copperfield, after Fern Hobbs’ visit on Janu ary 2, 1914. The jury returned the verdict at 7:48 o’ clock, after being out seven hours. Nine were for the ex-Governor and three dis senting. The first several bal lots the jurors stood eight for the defendant and four against, and the dissenting ones did not change until a fter 7 o’ clock. The verdict was a surprise here, because it was thought that the length o f time occupied by the jury in its deliberations in dicated an anti-West verdict, and when the verdict was read by Circuit Judge Anderson the few present seemed dazed.
