A roma arkable illustration OF the lnH Of libel in
Pennsylvania is furnished by the recent arrest
Of James B. Hodgakiu, Troasurer OF tho Atlantic
d Great Western Railroad. In November 1872,
Mr. Henry F. swootzer Was General Manager Of
that road. and his Office WAS at Meadyille, POM
syfvania. The Company, surnising that certain
frauds were committed in that Office, dispatched
Mr. Holgskin to Meadville from Now York. He
sofzad the books and papers, charged swoetzcr
with fraud, and compromised with tho 1attor Oh
his paying over $4,000 to tho Company
Ho Immediately made report OF tho facts
in writing to tho President Of tho road.
In July, Hodgskin, passing through Meadvillc
was arrested on charge Of libel brought by
ewoetzer, and released only after finding bail in
$780, 900. lie is also to bo prosecuted criminally,
and the popularity Of the PennBylyania law is,
TINT, though Hodgskin may prove tho truth OF
eyory statement in hiB report. ho may noyorthe-
less DO convicted Of libel aud sent to tho poui-
tontiary. The law of the Sato permits Of no
justification for libel, and anything is ibolous,
no matter how truo, which ia calculatod to afIoct
man's personal character. Any newspaper or
other publisher giving publicity to anything
disparaging to any man in Pennsylvania mny, it
caught within that stato bo sent to tho Peniton-
tiary, no mnttor how true his publication may
havo been.
