Mr.. j. V. Cresap, has through his attor-
ney, A. B. Jackson, filed complaint in the
district court against Edward H. Holbrook
Jr., for defamation of character and fixes
his damages at 100000. Tue action arises
from the complaint made by Holbrook
against Cresap for embezzlement, which oc
casioned Cresap's arrest and trial before
Judge Cooley few days ago, at which time
the court decided that there had been no en-
bezzlement as Cresap was partner in the
firm of Holbrook q Go.
H. "A. Wilson's trial was continued yester-
day before Judge Cooley. From the test,-
mony thus far it appears that Wilson, who
claimed to have the power of attorney for
James D. Holtt, sold and gave deed fol
property belonging to Hoitt to Miller fo'
1880. Hoitt claims that he never gave
Wilson the right to sell the land, and all he
seems to want now Is tho $3.50
which for some reason Wilson hat
given no account for, and until FL 1itt arrived
at Red Wing he did not know the property
had been sold. The case will be continued
this morning. but from the facts already pre-
sented it looks bad for Mr.. Wilson. 1t il
understood that there is in the hands of TIT
county attorney another charge against Will
son for q like transaction, which occurred
some time ago, and should he get clear OF
the present one he will be arrested on the
other charge.
