comment on the conclusion OF the Anthony
Miller libel suit, whether or not Anthony
gained victory in his judgment tor one
dollar after suing for $4,000. Ii Anthony
was after money, the judgment was not

conversation from Anthony, and also from
the subseau, mt claims of his attorneys Tor
nominal damages, that money was not his
object, but that he wished to fasten the
crime upon the proper persons This he
has succeeded in doing, and in this
success he has most certainly gained
a victory. But laying the question OF
a victory in a personal view, aside. We

LATER OPINIONS.

Below we give some additional opinions
some Of them expressed just after suit
was brought against Mr.. Miller, and Others
since the verdict was rendered:
The anonymous handbills which were sent
broadcast over the State prior TO the
meeting OF the Editorial convention, charg-
ing Col. ID. K. Anthony with almost every
crime known to law were the work, it is
now pretty clearly ascertained, of ketcheson
d Durfee, job printers of Leavenworth, and
u 5. Marshal c. ii. Miller, and one Z. IL.
Coney. Col. Anthony is so positive that
these are the perpetrators OF the black deed
that he has sued Miller for libel in the sum
of $4,000, and the other three for the same
amount conformity. Ii these are the authors
of the foul act, We hope he will punish them
to the full extent OF the law, as they richly
Deserve Southern Kansas Advocate.
The Leavenworth weekly times. [volume] (Leavenworth, Kan.) 1870-1880, 1878-01-24

plainly the malice. Other parties are
strongly suspected of completely in the libel,
and Col. Anthony saws that time will bring
them all to light.
We were surprised when We read the last
paragraph of the dispatch as it reaches
startlingly close TO Gov. Anthony, but We
hope that it will get no closer.
Now the question arises, what shall We
do with man who is convicted Of the worst
kind Of libel? What shall We do with Uni
ted States officer, who is guilty Of an otiense
that the Leavenworth court says nlted
states Marshal Miller is guilty Of? Is he
anv longer worthy the confidence and re-
spect OF the people? 1t was strongly denied
by papers published in Miller's favor, that
he was innocent. and had nothing whatever
10 do with the matter, and now they have
not a word to say. These same papers also
saw that Miller il innocent OF all other
charges that have been made against him.
Can thew be depended upon? Miller has
certainly made fatal mistake some where,
Had he been able to show a clean record all
the way through the many charges made
AGAINST him, the one fact that he stands con-
demned and adjudged guilty OF this great
libel, ought to be sufficient to Dust him from
the position that he holds. We expect in q
few DAYS to chronicle the removal Of Miller
as at present, We cannot see any escape FOL
him.

Topeka Blade.l

The libel suit in which Col. ID. Il.
Anthony was plaintiff, and United States
Marshal Miller was dependant terminated
IN the Leavenworth court, on Friday last in
a verdict for Anthony. The following press
despatch was sent to all the morning papers
in this district but was not published in
this city:
In the case of ID. Il. Anthony against
Charles III. Miller, United States Marshal,
for libel in circulating the infamous hand
bill to the editors of the State, just previous
to the Editorial Convention in June last,
the Jury rendered verdict in favor of the
plaintiff for one dollar and costs.
The plaintiffs counsel requested only
nominal damages. Miller was placed upon
the stand as a witness by the plaintiff, and
declined to answer all questions in relation
to the printed circulars addressed to the
editors of the State, upon the ground that
it would tend to criminate him in 80 doing.
Miller, however, admitted that he went TO
Coneyis print shop and got two or three
hundred of the handbills Just previous to
the Editorial Convention.
Couey testified that Miller got the hand
bills Of him and favored the sending of
them secretly, while Coney insisted they
should sign their names to the circulars
c. W. Kiefer testified that he was At that
time Deputy U. S. Collector under Geo. T.
Anthony, and that he paid SIS towards the
printing of the handblills.
This then must settle the question rs to
Miller's guilt. The handbills that were
scattered broadcast over the country, with
out any signature were the most infamous
We ever have seen. They were denounced
in the bitserest terms BY the newspapers of
the State without . single exception, and
without any exception that We recollect Of,

The u. y. Marshal Case.
TI..rran.a Tri hnna

For months past there have been charges
made of official corruption in the United
States Narshals office for the District OF
Kansas. From all directions the evidence
looms I'D that these charges are not with
out a tangible foundation, but time only
aggregates the volume of testimony as 10
the truth of fraud and malfeasance. 1t Is
true that the charges come from enemies
of Marshal Miller, but they are specific,
and fortified as they are by IndubItable
proof they have an ugly look and must I'M
doubleday result in the removal OF Miller.
We understand that the matter has already
been brought TO the notice OF the Attorney
General at Washington, and We do not see
how, if civil service reform means any
thing, he can avoid ordering his immediate
dismissal. The charge, principally, Is
that he has been drawing money from
Washington on false vouchers, and We
hardly think the apology that Others have
done the same" will extenuate the crime
in the least Nor will his completely in
the circulation of the infamous handbills
against D. L. Anthony, which he partially
admits, add anything to the lustre of his
otherwise furnished reputation. We copy
