Mann paid and was released after receiving an old coat from the marshal. He then resumed his spree, declining to name his whiskey suppliers. In a separate case, F Groshen vs Frank Lyons ended with a jury verdict for Lyons on a potato sale dispute, $30 plus costs. An advertisement for Dr Hobbs Sparagus Pills claims kidney cures with a free sample.
