two weeks before the Mollison Indictment,
Judge Page called at his Office, and in the con-
versation asserted tho publication of the Mol
lison letter was ibellous and that if it was not
retracted he should hold the publishers re.pons-
able. The result of that interview was the
publication of an explanation, not retrac-
ton.
Here the managers asked the production of
a letter written by Page to Davidson after the
appearance of the explanation, to which coun-
sci objected, but after brief argument the
court decided to admit it, and he was proceed
ing to tell the circumstances attending the
reception and return of Judge Pages letter
when counsel again interposed objections,
argument followed, the court deciding to
admit. The letter when read proved to be a
demand that a retraction be published AT me
head of the paper on penalty of prosecution.
The letter was returned to Page by MIR. Melgs,
the bearer, at Pages request:
Mr.. Davidson then testified as to his being in
| court at two of the times when the Mollson
case was pending, though he could not recol,
his readiness to proceed, but the case was put
over.
Manager then asked for the reading of the
letter of Mollison alleged to be libelcous; but
counsel objected. Objection overruled and
article read 1t was a decidedly spicy attack
upon some of the Republican managers in
Mower including railroad decision by Page,
who is designated the great purifier.
This ended his direct examination and MIR.
Losey proceeded to the cross examination, dur
ing which Mr.. Davidson testified that he had
since published full retraction in reference to
the decision of Judge Page in the railroad
| case.
The production of the retractiou was OBJ
jected to by managers, but the court decided to
admit it and it was read. In his further cross
examination, Mr.. Davidson admitted that he
was interested in the prosecution and
that his firm contributed $3, 75O
| toward the fund for that purpose.
| Upon the redirect examination Mr.. Davidson
testified that the letter was published August
27, 1873, and the retraction Feb. 1878; that he
was advised by his counsel, Gen. Cole, that
Page would be satisfied if such retractlon was
published, and withdraw the suits.
Cross-examined, he acknowledged at hit
attorney, MIR. Cole, told him the charge against
Judge Page, as to the railroad matter, was
false, and reiterated his statement to the
understanding that the trials, both civil ane
criminal against Mollison, as we'll himseE
and his partner, were to be withdrawn as soor
as the retraction published.
This ended the session for the day. and a
6:30 the court adjourned.

Martin in Trouble Again

Will went back on Jennie after settling up
accounts and dividing the ''swag'' recovered
by the police from the American house robbery,
and with his share in his pocket he paid his de-

The lynx-eyed sergeant of police, however, had
been following the movements of the cratic
youth and spotted him as he passed the portals
of the buxom sirens den. Such 'snest-hiding''

The Library association had determined to
place all the seats for sThe Great Concert at
the uniform price of one dollar, but on count
ing noses found that with every seat sold the
expenses would only hardly be met. They
We're obliged therefore to adopt graded scale
which will probably suit the purses of more
people and afford slight profit if all the seats
are sold, and can it be otherwise? The bare
opportunity of listening to one of the worlds
greatest artists just in the zenith of her pow
ers, is one never befor offered our citizens, and
easily worth four times the price of any ordi-
nary concert, and in this we considet0Dhot the
more than ordinary attractions of '.The Har-
monia Quartette,' . the Oldest and best organ
ization of the kind in Chicago and chosen as
personal friends of the great prima donna. All
things considered this is the cheapest offer ever
