that numerous cases of carelessness are be-

A louisville Libel Suit.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 26.-Some
months ego the CouYier-JoaundI published
an exhaustive article descriptive of the
haunts of the James gang in Logan county,
Kentucky, where lived Geo. B. Hite and
Uncle Frank and Jesse James, at whose
house the robbers were in the habit of stop
ping. Wood and Clarence Hite, sons of
old Hite, were members of the James gang,
the former being killed by one of the James
boys or Dick Liddell. while
the latter was sent to the Missouri
penitentiary for twenty years for compile
ity in the Blue cut robbery, was pardoned
a few weeks ago, and since died about
ten days ago. In the article in question
the above facts were detailed together with
others, to which the Hites objected and
| filed two libel suits against the Courier
! Journal for $25,O00 and $4,000 Among
other statements was one that Jesse
James was said TO have alienated
the affections OF Mrs. Hite, and that
| she had left her husbands home. The
| Co9trier-Jour'nal went to the trial on the
$4,000 case on what lawyers call ''plea
of confession and avoidance" in other
words, admitted the publication of the ar
ticle complained of and said it was true.
| A large number of witnesses were heard
| for the defense, who substantially sustained
the truth of the article. Mrs. Hite
| took the stand for the plaintiff, and admit
ted having become the mother of child,
| q very few months after her marriage to
| her first husband, but denied being init
mate with Jesse James. To-day, 7. T.
Crittenden, governor of Missouri, took the
witness stand, and testified that George B.
Hiie, the husband of Mrs. Hite, told him
last spring that Jesse James hal led his
boys, Wood and Clarence, astray
that he had been the cause
of separation between himself and his
wife, and that Jesse had ruined his do
nestle happiness. His testimony
| closed the case, which will be argued to-
morrow. The matter has attracted much
attention, the court room being crowded.
A large part of the testimony referring to
Mrs. Hite, who is comparatively young
woman, was of very lively character.
tending to sustain all and more than the
original article charged. The verdict
will probably not be reached before Wed
nesday.
