A GLOBE reporter, who saw Sattler in the
water, heard his cries for assistance and saw
his struggles to repair his error, was next
called and sworn. Thereupon the account of

the official proceedings of the inquest.

knowledge about 1.-The trouble and words
which had happened at Mrs. frances when
Sattler was there. Sunday night. Again the
GLOBE account of what did occurr at Mrs.
frances was made official. This proved that a
quarrel did occur, and that another was present
on whom Kitty lavished her affections.
where did you learn this?" was the next
question.
In the course of my professional business,
from parties who were there, heard and saw
the whole thing
who were they?"
Thereupon the GLOBE man threw himself
back upon the constitutional privilege guaran
teed by Our Fathers and enjoined in the Dec
laratlon of Independence that a newspaper
must know everything, and give nothing
away.
The coroner's jury sagaciously recognized The
privilege.
The reporter didn't tell.
