Journal for the publication of statements
relating to an alleged iaison between Mrs.
Hite and the late Jesse James, which has
been on trial for ten days, came to a con-
clusion this evening, the jury finding for
the defendant. The amount sued for was
$4,000. series of questions were sub
mitted to the jury which were answered as
follows: Mrs. Hite had been in love with
and had liaison with Jesse James.
That she had deserted her
husband. That she had correspond
ed clandestinely with young man in the
neighborhood. That he Jessie James liason
had cause disafection in the Hite family.
That Mrs. Hite swore cut warrant against
Wood Hite, her step son, charging him
with killing the negro Turner, because Hite
caught the negro carrying notes from Mrs.
Hlte to young man. That the pubiica-
ton in the ICOurier-j0urnGL was substan-
TALLY true. That it was not made with
malicious intent to SANDER and iniure.

chastity and virtue, and that the defendant
had reason to believe them true. The case
has excited much attention, the court room
being daily crowded. The plaintiffs made
terrific fight through able attorneys, but
old Hite's admission Of his wife's infdeli-
ty, made by him to Gov. Crittenden, of

witness stand, clinched the strong proof of
the COurier-JOurndL already offered, and
the verdict creates no surprise among those
