After careful deliberation this court de
cides not to ADOPT the views considered

After careful deliberation this court de
cides not to adopt the views considered
valid at the commencement Of
this case. but will measure the
punishment solely upon the basis Of
the evidence brought out during the
trial. ''Therecoce,' concluded the
judge, Gin the kings name, We declare
the accused not guilty either of embez-
element or misdemeanor, but guilty Of
an offense against public order, and
condemn Count Won Arnim to pay the
costs Of the suit and to suffer imprison-
ment for three months, less the term of
confinement already undergone"
The sentence was received in perfect
silence; there were no scenes of excite.
ment within the room, as had been ex-
pectcd. The moral impression was
that the verdict was tantamount to an
acquittal. Count Won Arnim made his
exit through private door leading from
the court room, and thus avoided the
public gaze.
Six weeks grace have been allowed
the count before he is to 60 to prison.
In the meanwhile all police restrictions
have been removed, and he will be per-
mitted to ride or walk at any length he
may desire without interference.

AQuestion Of Veracity.

A novel and quite interesting law
case is now pending in one of the New
York courts, which concern those news
papers that are accustomed to make ex-
travagant statements with regard to-
the immensity of their circulation for
the purpose Of inducing people to ad--
vertise in their columns. The New
York Tribune has instituted a suit
against one of its advertisers in its
weekly edition who defends upon the
ground that false representations were
made to him regarding the volume of
It's circulation as an inducement. The
circulation was alleged to be
10000, whereas the defendant believes
it was absurdly below that amount.
Upon the issue thus joined in the case
the defendant asked for an order to
compel the plaintiffs to submit their
books for examination by the defend
ants attorney. This motion was re-
sisted, two of the officers of the associa-
ton. Messrs. Whitelaw Reid and Cor
don L. Ford, Offering instead to sub
NIT affidavits showing the exact circu-
lat:on OF the paper at the time the con-
tract for advertising was made. In
deciding the motion, Judge Freedman
says: ''If the plaintiff, within twenty
days after the service of a.
copy Of the order to be en-
tered on this motion, shall furnish
to the defendant, statement extracted
from the plaintiffs books and duly
sworn to by Messrs. Whitelaw Reid
and Gordon L. Ford, showing the cir
culation to the Weekly Tribune be-
tween the 18th and Both of November,
1872, and specifically, the number Of
copies printed for each edition, the
number Of copies mailed of each edition,
the number of copies otherwise dis.
tributed of each edition, the number of
copies returned and unsold of each
edition, and, in addition, will st,pulate.
as offered, to produce on the trial
of the action such books and
papers in plaintiffs possession as
the defendant may specify in notice
to producc-such books and papers to
be inspected and used on the trial to-
such extent and in such manner as the
court may then and there direct--the
defendants motion for a discovery is
denied. In case Noncompliance with
these conditions or any of them, the de-
fendant may have at the Office of the
plaintiff, and in the presence of the at
torney or counsel of the plaintiff, an
inspection of such of the plaintiffs
books and papers as will show the mat
ters concerning whicn the above state
ment is required to be given.''

and explicit denial would have been
made upon the first publication of the
story. My failure to do so was entirely
due to restraining causes which were
beyond my control. I came to Ameri-
ca under contract with Mr.. Strakosch
to play 100 nights. When the story
vas first published, Mr.. Lloyd, Mr..
Strakosch:s agent, informed me that it
was Mr.. Strakosch's express desire.
that no denial should be made, as it
would only excite public curiosity, and
materially affect the success of my en-
gagement i'll pccuniary sense. This

and atrocious as it is purely original.
and made out of whole cloth. feel nv
obligation to carry out my engagement
to the very letter Of my con.
tract, and in accordance with
the wishes of my employer.
These wishes were expressed so earn
estly that l could not disregard them.
In yielding to Alr. Strakosch' views I
have forgone my own desires and have
trusted to time, future occasion, and
the justice Of a generous public, for a
fit and proper vindication.''
''lhe charges contained in the pub.
lished account. are very specific, and
implicate MIR. Lee.''
''Why, not? The author of the
story had his imagination to draw from.
and there is no reason why case should
not be constructed that would embrace
all accessories necessary for a scnsa-
tional scandal
'<Your relations with MIR. Lee have
always been pleasant!e'
''lnvariably, and the position given
to Mr.. Lee, in the vile slander, is most
emphatically denied by his course Of
acton. Do you think that Mr.. Lee
would have lived with me and acknow-
lodged me as his wife if there was any
truth in the story? No man would do
that, not even the worst"
With so much earnestness did the H.
lustrous young actress avow her own
innocence, and with so much womanly
tenderness and pathos, that the hearer
would need feel the strongest convic-
tion Of the great wrong that had been
done her.
And your representative left her with
the most gratifying assurance that if
any woman could lay claim to the trait
of purity and injured innocence that
woman was Miss Nelson.
Necessarily, if she had been connect
ed with such a disreputablc affair as
set forth in the published report, the
records of the court in Manchester
would show it. 1t is now stated by
those who are undoubtedly posted in
the matter that her name does not
figure in any suit there, nor is she
mixed up in any suit at law involving a
divorce of husband and wife on her &C.

subject upon which he was intent was
one Of great delicacy, and could only
be approached at an extremely oppor.

OF course the first thing desired to
be known in connection Herewith was
whether any denial of the charges
against her good name had been made.
"No, there has never been q public

only made the matter worse but aside
from the mere policy, there are pecul.

imperative, that nothing should be said

''The reasons are not, in themselves,
improper but their publication could
do no good. My course in not making
a denial is dictated BY purely business
