Jury Deliberates Eight and a Half Hours in $42,000 Suit
Marion circuit court jurors failed to reach a verdict in the case of Rosemary Cook of Herrin versus Ruth Ann Walker owner of Diamond Liquor Store Herrin. The suit stems from the March 5 1966 automobile crash that killed her husband William R. Cook. The claim alleges Giles bought intoxicants at the store the night of the accident and was amended from 20000 to 42000 dollars before trial.
