According to this showing and other facts, the
company, the bund alleges has lost $1l7.440 In
the last seven years, and that the capital OF
the bund further alleges, amount to $4,000. 900,
and that the annual expenditures are equal to the
total receipts. The basis OF the contract between
the company, it asserts, was to insure the men,
bers; and, to insure n, must secure the members
against loss, winch the bund officers say It cannot
do. The bund owes the company only $3.50. They
add they are ready to pay at any time. Mr.. Esas-
ser, tue President OF the Bnnd, in one affidavit
serts that the President of the World Company told
him lately .that the World Company was desrous
OF doing as little business posslble-just enough
to keep them from getting into trouble with par.
ties with whom they held contracts and TO cause
the apslng OF as many policies as possible so that
they might wind up the World Company, and thus
return to the original stockholders as much OF
their original capital rs they could" Also that
'the business was 30 bad that they would have to
wind up the company; that 19 companies had gone
out OF existence within short time, and that the
World Company would have TO close like so many
others.n III

One OF the most important OF the alleged hbels
by newspaper publishers editors and reporters on
city officials In Newark was commenced and con-
cluded yesterday in the Court OF Quarter Ses-
slons there, before Judge clifford and q full
Bench and o crowded court ROOM In
this case the defendant. Edward Mullen,
stood indicted for having, as alleged, while acting
in the capacity or reporter for local paper, the
NerarE Daily Journal maiciously composed
and written certain article which was published
last September, in which it was set forth that
City Counsel William N. Francis was placed
'sIN BAD FIX,
in consequence of positive statement made BY
one Florian Leyers to the defendant in presence
OF competent witnesses, and which was to
the effect that he, Levers, had had a
claim against the city Tor $3.50, but that
when he went to get mis- money Francis compelled
MN TO sign paper for double the amount, 81, 700.
The evidence adduced went to show that Mullen
had obtained the statement from Leyers, but that
Gle as prepared by defendant. Tne headings had
been written by the editor Of the paper ana the
original matter furnished which was styled
tUr A MERE MEMoRANDUM
OF the facts so altered as to be entirely unlike the

divulge the Identity OF the writer forasmuch as

ness. 1t was also shown that Mullen was ana is a
member OF the Committee OF one Hundred--an or
ganization appointed by the people to I~.ats
FERRET OUT ANY FRAUDS
which might exist in the management Of city
afairs.
In summing up for the defence Counsellor Guild
made out very strong and forcible case for th6
accused, declaring that there was not particle
OF evidence TO prove malice the part Of MniIen.
that Mullen really wrote the alleged beIlo,rss spor.
tons OF the article, or that he had done aught else
than his duty to his paper and to the people
