Orvy Hulett, foreman of the

8 to 4 in favor of awarding Mr.
Ford some damages.. "

his attiture as an American citi

which raised every issue against
him which ingenuity and resear

Weymouth Kirkland, f .coun

"We corisider it a victory for
the reason that Attorney Alfred
Lucking, in closing for Mr. Ford,
stated that anything less than
substantial damages would be a
defeat for his client."
