Manton Case Proceeds As Jury Weighs Manion Allegations
A twelve man jury is hearing whether Edward W. Manion obtained a house and job in Rock City from Dr. Best via a confidence game. Witnesses dispute land value, taxes, and the nature of the transfer, with Manion claiming a card party loan and altered records, while Dr. Best cites higher property value and rent. The verdict remains uncertain as testimony depicts a Tyre or Ty office consultation lit by a lamp in June.
