JURYUTETONIGHT;
Government and Defense Make
Final Statement During
Morning and Afternoon Ses
sion».
HENNINGSENS DEFENDANTS
Strong Plea Made by Bone for
Verdict of Guilty for Alleged
Violation of Sherman Anti
Trust Act—Defense Asks
Acquittal.
Arguments by Leon Bone, govern
ment attorney, and T. P. Nolan, at
torney for the defènse, were heard to
day by the jury in the case of the
United. States versus Henningsen Pro
duce company, A. P. Henningsen and
W. F. Henningsen, on a charge of
conspiracy. Mr. Bone began at 9:30 a.
m. this morning and closed at 10:45.
Mr. Nolan began at 10:45 a. m., and
finished at 11:45, after which the
court took a recess until 1:15 p. m., at
which time Assistant Attorney Smead
and attorney for the defense Maurice
Seitz will close the arguments. The
case will go to the jury tonight.
Attorney Bone made a very clear
argument before the jury, and ' en
deavored to substantiate his argu
ments by the presentation of letters
from the vast mass of testimony taken
from the Jensen Creamery company in
Balt Lake. He presented one letter
from A. P. Henn#igsen stating "we
want to keep our competitors out of
Malad, Preston and Montpelier" and
dwelt at length upon the method^ used
in so doing. He also produced a letter
and a paragraph calling attention to
the proposition of dividing territories,
or of the Jensen people giving cash ta
recompensate the Henningsen people
from getting out of a locality.
GROUND WELL COVERED.
He went into the subject of the va
rious prices charged by the Henning
sen people, and stated that they had
different prices, that they paid 24 cents
a pound for raw material on all sta
tions with the exception of Treston
and Montpelier where they paid 27
cents a pound, and Malad where their
price was 26 cents, and stated that this
showed conclusively that there was a
conspiracy to drive competitors out of
those three towns.
Bone took up the subject of false
testing and the statement of "what
overrun was" as defined by the wit
ness Jensen who said that it took 100
^Y>ounds of raw material to get 128
/pounds of butter, and quoted figures
from a text book by Babcock, deemed
an authority, to show that an overrun
of 22 per cent was normal, and that
any overrun larger than that was se
cured by giving false, weights or re
'ducing the cost of manufacture. He
took up the testimony of witnesses
Riddick and Small, and said that
Small had his trouble at Montpelier
with the Henningsen people because he
would not obey their commands to cut
off test points. He stated further that
the Henningsêns and others who got
out 128 pounds of butter out of 100
pounds of raw material cheated the
farmer-producer out of 6 pounds of
butter because Babcock said that 122
pounds of butter was the limit from
100 pounds of raw material. He. asked
for a verdict of guilty.
T. P. Nolan, who followed for the
defense, launched into a bitter ar
raignment of Mr. Rone and the testi
mony which he had presented, saying
that all during the trial there was
"much noise but little substance." He
told a clever story of a farmer who
■ought to contract to supply frogs legs
to a hotel, how the hotel keeper had

placed frogs legs* on his menus and on
the day for them the farmer appeared
with one frog and said: "I thought
there were a lot of frogs In my pond
judging from the noise, but this is the
only one."
He then said that "a chain was as
strong as Its weakest link," and en
deavored to show that the case of the
government was filled with weak
links—promises that liad not been
kept, and testimony that told nothing
of an incriminating nature. He said
that the acts of the Henningsen peo
ple in connection with the Jenson
company were entirely consistent as
they owned $150,000 worth of Jensen
stock and ,lt was not criminal for a
man to protect his own holdings, as
long as he did It lawfully and that
the testimony for the government had
not shown that lie, Henningsen, had
done otherwise. He then went Into the
matter of testimony of the witnesses
Smith, Arnold and Small, and Bald
that the Jury must take into consider
ation the fact that Small and Arnold
were hostile to the Henningsen peo
ple because of controversies which
arose while in their employ, and that
the Henningsen people were not to
blame for Smith, as manager of the
Elkhorn Dairy and livestock company
not making any money for eight years.
In this connection he stated: "This
government has failed miserably to
bring witnesses and testimony before
the court to show any semblance of
guilt by the defendants.
SAYS ITS ALL GUESSWORKS
Then he asked why the government,
after naming 173 firms in the Cream
ery business In the northwest as hav
ing been oppressed by the operations
of the Henningsen people, had not pro
duced a single consumer, producer or
other person to testify that they had
suffered In such a manner.
Ho closed his talk by saying that
the government had left everybody In
the field of conjecture and guess, had
unfairly and unsquarely tried to prove
a case against the defendants, and in
substance wanted the Henningsen's
punished for thrift, success and pros
perity. He closed with an appeal for
acquittal at 11*45, after which the '
court took a recess until 1:15 p. m.

Reading Advertisements
Will Save Your Time
The wise shopper keeps in touch with the advertisements of her fa
vorite stores. When she sees announcements of goods in which she is
interested, she knows right where to go to find them. She knows
when they are put on sale.
No time is lost in aimless looking and asking. Reading the adver
tisements saves her time for other duties or pleasures.
When parents decide to send a boy or girl away to school, they can
not take the time togo and inspect a great number of schools from
which to choose. They study the advertisements of schools and to
the ones that seem to offer right conditions they write for catalogs.
When a man decides to buy an automobile, he reads carefully the ad
vertisements which tell about the different makes of cars and then
he calls to see only those in which he is interested. He does not start
out by hunting up the salesrooms and looking^at all the cars sold.
These are only a few of the ways in which reading advertisements
saves the time of readers. There are many others.
Your daily newspaper is full of advertisements which are nojt only
interesting but have some special message of benefit to you.
Make a practice of reading them,
and your money better spent.
