ACCUSED OF BLACKMAILING
LIBEL SUIT BETWEEN TWO DRAMATIC EDITORS
COURTESY AMONG THE CRITICS.

LIBEL SUIT BETWEEN TWO DRAMATIC EDITORS
COURTESY AMONG THE CRITICS.
The case of G. II. Byrne vs. Ernest Harvier was
heard in the Jefferson Market Court yesterday. The
charge is of criminal libel and the principals are
connected with two dramatic papers in this city.
The alleged libel printed in an issue OF
Harviers paper and published on the LIST inst
and consists Of letter written by John A.
Stevens, actor. to Harviers paper, alleging
that Byrne foisting woman on him and abusing
him and his performances because he would not en-
ploy him in his company, and an editorial by Har-
vier warning the dramatic profession against Byrne
paper owing its being conducted by blackmailers
and disreputable characters.
The proceedings yesterday were mostly of a
dry nature. Mr. Mcdonald, Harvier's coun.
sci, took exception to Byrnes complaint
and Justice Hammer, after listening to
points offered by the counsellor and by
Mr.. Hummel. counsel for Byrne, determined to
throw out the entire complaint This was a massive
document. consisting of Byrne's affidavit and num-
Der of copies OF Harviers paper with marked notices
in them. Byrnc then was resworn and fresh afli-
davit made with the necessary amendments
lIyrne placed the stand by his counsel
and subsequently cross-examned. He said that he
had never been charged before with being convict.
that ne had been asked since il he one; that he
had not. prior to the publication of this matter been
called iibellous or borne the name of blackmailer
and one who practsed illegtimate practices on the
ladies OF the dramatic profession.
ASKING FOR DISCHARGE.
Counsel for the defence asked 10 throw out Byrnas
complaint on the ground that Burns. not Byrno,
mentioned in the article and that paper was
named. but only general warning against black
nailers offered to the public. Counsel added that
Harvers desire to free tho profession from
harpies who preyed on its members. 'Byrno
placed in a dilemma" said counsel. Either he was
"a blackmaller and admitted The picture drawn OF
Burns true likeness OF himself or else he could
only say that he was not meant by the article"
1t was then shown tina the name of Byrne's paper
did not appear in the libellous matter put in the
complaint. Harviers editorial mentioned the paper.
but that part of the editorial had not been put
Byrne's counsel then Incorporated that part OF the
editorial in the complaint
Mr.. Mcdonald said that Byrne knew that there
more than blackmailer in the city and that the
dramatic profession pestered with them; that
one knew 1t better than Mr. G. A. Byrue. The
blackinailcrs added counsel followed the pro
fession and made a business by practising
on the of its lady members, whose lives these
blacksuaris falsely made open to the public. Mr..
HaryIor was utterng warning to the profession,
and not necessarily referring to Byrne.'
The magistrate then granted an adjournment to
Harvicr's counsel until Saturday week. In order to
allow him to present new points or be able to pro-
coed with his line of defence.

In Menoriam.

The following resolutions upon the death of
Geo. E. Taylor, were adopted by the Temper
ance Union at their meeting, on Sunday even
ing last:
Whereas, 1t has pleased God in his infinite
wisdom to remove from our circle our late
brother, George E. Taylor, and as it is proper
that fitting recognition of his many virtues
should be expressed by this Union, of which he
was an earnest and devoted member; therefore
ReSolUed, That while we bow with humble
submission to the will of the Most High, we do
not the less mourn for our beloved brother,
who has been so suddenly removed from his
work of love.
ReSolged, That in the death of George e.
Taylor this Union laments the loss of brother
who was ever ready to proffer the hand Of aid
and the voice OF sympathy to the needy and
distressed, and whose utmost endeavorS were
eXerted for the welfare and prosperity of all
who i'll any manner were suffering from the
sting OF lntemperance or poverty; a true friend
and genial companion who was specially dear
to us all, and citizen whose upright and noble
life was standard of emulation to those who
would attain to a perfect manhood.
ReSOIced, That while we deeply sympathize
with those who were bound to our departed
brother by the nearest and dearest ties, we find
consolation in the belief that it is well with
HIM for whom we mourn, for he now rests in
the fruition and rewards of a well-spent life.
having received the heavenly benediction of
well done thou good and faithful servant,
enter thou into the joys of thy Lord"
ReS0tced, That these resolutions be spread
upon the records of the Union, and also copy
transmitted to the family of the deceased as a
token of our respect and veneration for the
Christian character of a good man who was
universally beloved by all who had the pleas
ure of his acquaintance.

Not a Cruelty Case.

The other evening a lady who resides on
Park street was indisposed and retired to her
room rather earlier than usual although the
hour was late. The neighborhood was very
quiet. All at once she heard sound as of o
horse coughing. She listened and the sound
was repeated, this time as if a horse was suffer-
ing great agony. The lady opened the window
and this time she thought she located the cough
in a neighbors stable. She was so incensed at
the cruel neglect of the poor animal that she
was strongly inclined to go down to Free street
and arouse Mr.. Sawyer, the humanity agent,
Notwithstanding she was sick Finally she
decided to wait until morning. The next day
the lady received postal from friend say
ing he should probably arrive in Portland by
the midnight Pullman at IL 20, and would
stop at the house. The family sat up waiting
for the gentleman, but he did not arrive at the
time stated, and they decided the train had
been delayed. All at once the same noise was
heard that had so agitated the lady the night
previous. She sprang to her feet with the
ejaculation, "there, that poor horse is cough
ing, and 1 forgot to tell Mr.. Sawyer. will
put on my hat Immediately and go and call
him, for L will not have the animal suffer-"
what are you talking about" said her sister,
THAT is the Park street clock trying to strike
twelve, but it is out of repair, and can. only
make that wheeling cough"

Who Said Rats,

In a newspaper office in this city the en-
ployes occasionally see rats. For instance the
other evening the city editor entered the sane
tum and saw small rodent, about the size of a
kitten, run under desk at the further end of
the room, with asqueal. A few minutes after the
night editor entered and large rat rushed into
the waste-paper closet. Later the night editor
went out to the composing room and found the
compositors enjoying their lunch and occasion
ally tossing morsels to four five large rats in
the middle of the room who appeared perfectly
tame and to enjoy the situation. Sometimes
the compositors get a hook and line, bait the
hook with piece of cheese, and go fishing in
a rat-hole, rarely failing to catch a fine large
specimen of the rodent.

The Stone Murder Case

The readers of the PRESS will remember
some time ago that James Madison Wyatt
Stone, colored man, formerly resident of
Westbrook, had been indicted for the murder
OF his wife in Washington, D. C. Stone has
received some of the dispositions which he sent
to Maine for, and will be tried this week.
These dispositions are from DR.. William Os-
good Of North Yarmouth, for whom Stone
worked when he was boy, and Woodsum
Mason and wife of Westbrook, for whom he
worked in 1858 and 1869. They show that
Stone was subject to fits of moodiness, and
that while Stone lived in Maine he received
three injuries to his head, once by knife cut,
again by falling from a house, and afterwards
by blow from the springing back of the lever
OF hop press. The last injury seemed, it is
stated, to produce quite serious effects, and it
will be made the basis OF a plea of insanity.
