Eleven Against Foshay

Eleven men of Minneapolis went to their homes last week to tell great tales of Woman's Obstinacy. For a solid week they had been locked in the jury room, deliberating over a ton of evidence containing 1,500,000 words & figures. From the evidence and previous testimony they reached the conclusion that Wilbur Burton Foshay, onetime Northwest utility tycoon, and six associates were guilty of using the mails to defraud. Not of this opinion was No. 12, one Mrs. Genevieve Clark, who stoutly held out for acquittal. After a week of argument, some 200 ballots, the jurors told Judge Joseph W. Molyneaux an agreement was impossible. He asked them to deliberate one more day, then gave up, ordered a new trial for Jan. 11.

Mr. Foshay is now engaged as vice president of Mountain Cross Granite Co. of Salida, Col., owned by Charles Rudolph Walgreen, Chicago drugchainer. Over the Foshay desk used to hang a motto which apparently serves to temper his prosperity as well as his adversity: "Why worry? It won't last. Nothing does."
