DEFENDANT WINS DAMAGE SUIT

Ocbs vs. Zimmerman Case Results in Latter’s Favor. The $5,000 slander case of Jacob Ochs, Jr., of Remington, a rural mail carrier out o*f that place, vs. William Zimmerman, nightwatch at Remington at the time, in which the latter wrote a letter to the postal authorities at Washington, it was alleged, attacking the character of Ochs, which was tried in the New’ton circuit court the last of the week before Special Judge Berry of the Benton-Warren circuit, resulted in a verdict for the defendant. There was quite an array of legal talent engaged in the case and it was no doubt quite expensive for each of the parties to the suit.
