GOODRICH SANE IS VERDICT OF JURY

Farmer Possibly Has Uncontrollable Temper But Jury Decided In His Favor Wednesday. Charles Goodrich is not insane, or at least that is the verdict of a jury of six men who tried him on the application of his wife to have a guardian appointed. Goodrich, lives on Dr. E. Besser’s farm between here and Remington, and Mrs. Goodrich charges that he is cruel to her and their children and exhibits an uncontrolable temper. Mrsi Goodrich was represented by Attorney Parkinson at the trial, while Goodrich did not have an attorney. He went oif the witness stand and gave a very fair sample of a bad temper, but this did not convince the jury that a guardian was necessary and the decision was in his favor.
