NO. 4L Jury Cases Nearly Finished List of Cash Awards for Best Entriss in Corn Show Pa rada, Nov. 10 ; The jury in circuit court on Wed nesday brought in a verdict for the defendant in the case of Blanche O. Olson vs. E. B. Gehrke. It was a damage suit for 8870, resulting from an auto collision on the Bay when Mr. Gehrke wa* hit by Mr. Olson as th* former was backing out from a pri vate driveway. After this case the jury was dis missed until Monday and if the grand jury report today does not necessi tate further jury work, the pettit jury will be dtemlsaed subject to call. However, It is very probable that the grand jury report today will have something to say about the Tobe Mor ris murder at Powers and the rape ease from the Bay for which Jimmg Brault is being held.
