BARBED WIRE FENCE PATENT A Big M onopoly B e a ten in Court AN INSANE MAN’S INVENTION Barbed W ire U s e d for F e n c e s Y e a r s B e f o r e th e Glidden P a t e n t W a s Secured D cbu ^ i e , Iow a , Jan. G —The great barbed w ire f e n c e monopoly has fought its hardest b a ttle . The patent o f Joseph T. G lidden,N o 157,124, issued November 24, 1874. has hitherto been sustained in all legal contests, and the W a shburn & Moen com p a n y has been enabled, through th e aid of the < u u rts to rule w ith a n iron h a n d the production of the new im p roved barbed wue in the coun try. All m anufacturers have been paying an imm ense royalty and the farm ing com m u n ity of the w e st has suffered g r e a tly in consequence. As is generally know n , the claim in th e Glid- patent is th e form ation of a barb on the fence. by means of a short piece of wire coiled around it, and hav ing sharp p o in ts thereon. The novelty claimed to e x ist in the Glidden patent consists m a in ly in this mode of form ing the barb. F o u r years ago a com p any known a s t h e \B e a t 'Em Ml Barbed W ire co m p a n y ,” now located at Cedar Falls, Iow a , b e g a n the m a n u facture of barbed w ire in a small way, and its greatest o u t p u t has not exceeded one carload a day.

December .’1 The evidence all taken by deposition . uk ! revered about I') .000 type w r i t t e n page;- The first evidence introdu'-ed t;avt a history of M o rley who was an eccentric old bachelor In lV n r-j Ivania where he had lived before c inimg to I jwa. he had been incarcerated in an insane asylum and he died in a sim ilar in s titu tion in 1807 T h e n followed testim o n y showing th a t M o rley had invented and exhibited a t t h e Delaware County f a ir in Delhi in !<i'J a barhe-1 wire fc-nci There was s o tn- doubt as to the exact date of the f a ir , but tlie weight ef i vi- dence tix-d it as LSjy, ij years before the date of th e <>lidden patent Some of the testim o n v as to the exhibition of tje fence a t t h is fair was curious. A m an who wab a deputy sheriff of Iiela ware county in WVJ swore that upon the evening of th e first dav of the fair Mor ley had come to his oihee with a sample of a wire fence w h ich he asked the w it ness about tbi advisability of e x h ibiting A panel of a barbed wire fence was shown upon the fair grounds the following J a y , an d the witness had no doubt that it w a s the same as was brought by M o rley to his office A Mr. Robinson, w h o w a s a deputy m arshall a t the fair g r o u n d s , swore that he rode a fine horse on th e grounds He was called aw ay to another p a rt of the grounds, and dism o u n ting tied h n horse to 3 panel of a f e n c e fin letum ing to his horse h e n o t ir e d that it- nose was bloody,' atad f u r t h e r that there was blood •on its chest. H e then noticed th a t the ifence to which th e animal had been tied was a w ire fence containing barbs w ith sharp p o ints and that thesp had caused the c u ts on the horse. Another witnes.-, was a man about 40 ye&rs old. who testified tliat a t the tim e of this fair lie w a s about M y»ars old and was a t the fair He was in clo.-e prox imity to the fence erected by Morley for exhibition, and in scutllmg w ith a num ber of other boys wa3 thrown against the fence. T h e r e s u lt was th a t he was severely c u t a b o u t the face T h e v a r s he be»rs to this d a y , and the notar) tak ing the testim o n y made a m inute of their existence. Another w itness whose testimony is of the greatest im p o rtance was a t the tim e a blacksm ith and he assisted m putting the b a r b s on tlie wire of the fence, lie also testified that he made the machine a t Morley s request which was used in affixing the barbs He ex plained the device, and during his e x am ination the n o t a r y adjourned in o r der to allow him to duplicate th e c o n tn vance he used a t t h e timp (ro i n g t o a blacksmith's forge he in a short tim e produced the sim p le kind of a contri vance for w inding the barbs about th' fence wire, a n d o n e which did tbe work in the presence o f Judce Shiras This m a n had also helped\ Morley to erect the section of fence exhibited at the fair Another very im p o rtant «itne.-s fir the Cedar Falls companv was a man nam e d Potter H e testified th a t he was present a t the f a ir and becoming inter ested in Morley’s invention held quite a conversation w i t h th e inventor about the m erits of th e fence. Morley gave him a piece of t h e fence wire, w h ic h he took home w ith h im and hung behind his k itchen stove. A year later be took it down and t h r e w i t into an old trunk in which be had alw a y s stored curiosi ties and trinkets. I t had rem ained in th a t trunk until t h e beginning of this controversy. H e produced the identical piece of wire, a n d identified it as th a t given him by M o rley a t the tim e m en tioned, This r u s t y bit of wire, which is m o re precious t h a n a hundred tim es its weight in gold, w a s Introduced in evi dence and in a n ex h ib it in tbe case. It is n o t more th a n a foot m length, but it contains two b a r b wires. The spur w ires a re c u t o ff obliqueW si« nre the im p roved barbs o f the proven' .!nr They a re w o u n d t w i c e around the main strand, w ith th e p o i n ts p rojecting in op posite d irections. L a y ing aside tlie rude workm anship, t b e piece exhibited shows as p e rfect a barb u p o n a fer.co w ire as an y th a t s-q m a n u factured to-day, though Morley u s e d no retaining or binding w ire, on-w h ich device there is no existing p a ten t. Following the evidence came (h.- d positions o f 180 m e n , w h o sw o re th a t barbed w ir e f e n c e s b a d been erected i n D e law a re countyjjlong before th e G lid den p a ten t w a s issued. The e v idence offered by t h e \W ashburn & Moen com pany w as larg e ly negative.

A new spaper published in Delhi in 1^59 was introduced in evidence, and a t t e n tion was c a lled to th e fact th a t in its report of th e fa i r n o m ention was m a d e of a barbed w ire fence exhibit A s o n of Potter s w o r e th a t he was fa m ilia r w ith the co n te n ts of his father's c u r i osity t r u n k , a n d th e r e was no piece o f barbed w ire i n i t. The big m o n o p o ly sought to stren g th e n its case by try in g to show th a t a m a n w h o w as probably insane could n o t have in vented a barbed w ire. In p r o o f of M o rley's in s a n ity it show e d th a t in l^GG seven years after the D e lhi fair, he p a te n ted a device w h ich h e called a ' ‘trav e li n g cow pen.\ This w a s a trian g u lar fence resting upon th r e e wheels, one in each angle.

The t h ird w a s at an angle to t h e other tw o an d w a s a • steering w h e e l , ' so that th e w h o le could be pushed ab o u t in a circle of a gi ven d iam e ter M o rley's idea was th a t a cow could be placed w ithin this t r i a n g u l a r fence, a n d in feed ing she w o u ld pu s h her pen along w ith her. a n d w o u ld trav e l in a circle an d thu.-- be p r e v e n ted from strolling aw a y over the p r a ir ies. The idea w a s a bare-brainw i, ridiculous one. as fa r as practical u t il i ty w a s concerned, y e t it was co r rect an d the co n tr iv ance would a c t ex a c tly as claimed, and tn it Morley ex h ib ited a knowledge of m echanics.
