Andrew Dorscht of Waterloo gave a verdict in favor of the defendant in the county court at 11.30 o‘clock on Tuesday evening. A rider was added to the effect that the verdict was not tc be interpreted as encouraging in the making of slanderous remarks about other persons. Dorscht was accused of making statements after he had gone to a farm near Enbsville in 1925 when it was vacated by Strome.

Schmidt and Mrs. Schmidt, claimed that Dorscht had remarked to them that Subr had stolen chickens and a bicycle from the driving shed and that Subr was a dirty beggar. Schmidt denied havâ€" ing told Suhr of the remarks made by Dorscht as a revenge because Dorscht had taken legal actions against him to collect about $900 on a second mortgage. Other witnesses were Edward Schaefer and Edward Schnarr, who said they heard Dorscht say that Suhr had stolen the bicycle from the farm. A. B. McBride of Waterloo acted for the defendant and George Bray for the plaintiff. The usual fine of $5. and costs was paid by several speeders in the Waterloo Police Court, last week.
