The Preble versus Bates and Walley case continued in the U S Circuit Court. Hoar addressed the jury for the defense. General Butler for the plaintiff urged the jury to find that such supposed business dealings harm society and should be rejected as not representing a usual course of business. He pressed that men must inquire whether property belonged to the young man and whether he had the right to dispose of it. Butler concluded that the community’s interests and those of his client rest with the jury. This morning the case was to be given to the jury.
