President Colby Arvested, Charged WiW
Perjury.
MILWAUKEE, Jan. 81. - Considerable
comment has been made in this city to-
day over the arrest of Hon. Charles L.
Colby, member of the last legislature and
president of the Wisconsin Central Rail-
way company, at the instigation of Geo
W. Reed, on an allegation of perjury.
Mr. Reed was director of the Wisconsin
Central company, but in 1875 failed of
re- election through Colbys influence.
Several bitter lawsuits followed in his
answer to Reeds complaint, in one of
which Colby is alleged to have committed
the perjury in question. The suit was
settled last spring, amicably as was sup
posed 1t is now understood information
of the intention to bring this suit has
been in possession of the reporters for the
daily press for some time. Judge Mallory
accepted $500 bail for Mr.. Colby's appear
ance tomorrow. That there is any foun-
dation for the suit Mr.. Colby declared to
be absurd, though he declines to be inter-
viewed on the subject.
