HOW NApTRALY DETERliINkD TO WRITE TIE
LIBEL.
Las. night Napthaly and Fitzgerald
nassed their time in the inner City PHI
son in the same cell secure from the ven
psance of the De Younss. This morn
ING they were both allowed the freedom
of the corridor. but they were especially
careful to stay in that part of the prison
farthest from the door.
Napthal> fully realized, he says, what
he was about when he published the ar
ticle OF Saturday. On Saturday morn
ine. lie says, his partner, fltz5eTHid,
c,,,n,. 70 his room about : O'Clock. and
woke him up. with the intimation that
the Chronicle had given him first
class notice to which he wished to re
ply in kind. NaptLaly thereupon read
The article and told the ex-rianaSer OF the
I,sdeie.td,nt Utfeade' that tie De oungs
were Going to get back what they had
given, and with interest, Naptha!y welt
to the SEA- office and carefully prepared
the atrocious article which so startled the
community. read it to Fitzgerald, who
fully concurred i'll the opinions therein
exurcssea. and the ''copy WIS sent IN
TO the printers In the afternoon the
forms we're early sent to the press loom
of Francis X Valentine, and about
THREE OF -FOUR HUNDRED COPIES STRUCK
OFF
Without the slightest knowledge on the
part of any one connected with the press
room that il contained the libel. The
Iar-est part of the first edition Of the
paper was secured by parties inimIcal to
| to the De Younss. who evidently knew
| that the article was to he published, from
| the fact that they managed 10 get hold
of large number of copies. A second
| edition was run eff, aud Il third edition
was being run off before the publication
was stopped.
| CAPTAIN LEES TO BE INVESTIGATED.
The cutting Of tie SuH office on Sun

! Captuin Lees and n formal complaint Is
| TO be made to the Board OF Police Com
missioners against him. Many people
seem to think that he has acted III the
matter from excess Of zeal to AID the De
Younss rs Napthaly, and many lawyers
! of standing state that if the version OF
| the affair given in the papers OF Monday
-nornin- is correct, that the smashing III
I of tie doors Of the SIM. and tie .etcn-
ton Of the printers in q room while a

n
Wholly unjustifable. They ev'n IN
same instances go further and say ti.at #
the printers had stood by their rights
they would have been justified IN killing
the whole attacking party as they enter
ed. CAPTAIN Lees however states that pt
did not attempt to hold the printers un-
I'll he had ascertained from Stevens, the
lessee of the buildin. and the owner OF
the printing material, that the printers
were in the building without his perlnlS-
sion and had no business there. This
probably explains the smashing In OF the
| doors and the detection of the printers
in the very act of setting up the libel

1t was reported at the Police Office
this morning that Il number OF papers
with a fac-simile of the San $ head, and
containing the hbelous article of Satur-
day, had been printed at Vallejo and
sent down on the boat this morning, but
dilligent inquiry failed to elicit that any
copies of the paper had been distributed.
Napthaly still remains in the City Phi

saws he Is anxious to be released, hut

vised him to remain in the prison for the
present.
This afternoon Judge Louderback re-
duced the bail of the printers arrested II
