MORE JOURNALISTIC WITNESSES.
George +. Williams was then called TO the stand.
Mr.. Williams was expected to prove that the
Woodruff publication OF the Beecner scandal was
hawAed about the newspaper otnces some three
or TOUR months before its actual publication.
@. Did you ever see proof or the Woodruff
scandal before 1t was puoisheds
rus question was objected to by PLAINTIFFS
counsel.
Mr. Hill said he proposed to show that proof
slips OF TINS scandal were circulated among news
paper men, lncluding the witness, as cary Is
April aud May, 1872.
Inc Court-H0w do you connect the plaintiff
with THAR
evidence OF Woodley. We propose TO snow the
existence or those proof SIPS before they were
published, and before the time rney were seen by
WooOley IN the presence OF the plalntln, TtOn.
Mr.. Fullerton denied that there was any such
evidence given ny Woodley. anu even II he gave
sucn evidence it would not DE competent. lney
mad not proved what tue contents oil the slips
were. Before taey could make tie sips evidence
they mus. snow VIVA. connection the plaintiff mad

Mr. Hill replied that the Court could not fail to
recol.ect the evidence OF WOooiey upon this SUD-
mad been reading from PROOF Sips in REGARD TO
the scandal against Mr.. Beecner. The couGsel
read IRON Woodiey's evidence 10 snow that he saw
the parties named reading PROOF slips ana taking
about tins Beecuer scandal at the same time.
Inc Court observed that he undefs ooa from
Woodley's evidence IL was part OF his business 10
carry proof slips from the office to Mrs. Woodnu's
h use, out he did not undo STAND MIN TO say that
these proofs had reference to the BeecHer scan
dal; that they were only proofs relating 10 the
business OF the paper. He did not think
tDat counsel connected the matter.
Mr.. Hill sad II he could snow that they were
talking OF the Beecner scandal and that

matter that at least would Call on the otner side
TO explain.
