the Justice for mileage under the pro-
visions of the State law.
The attorneys for John Shoemaker, of
the Indianapolis Sentinel, filed bill of
discovery in the Blaine libel suit on the
18th. Allegations are made in this bill
to the effect that the complainant's mar
riage was clandestine one, hastily ar
ranged, and without license being issued
(none being required by the laws of
Pennsylvania at the time); that no public
official record of the marriage was kept;
that the minister who officiated is
now dead, and that if any private mem
orandum or record of the marriage was
made it had been lost or destroyed. The
defendants claim that the facts stated in
their answer are true; that they can be
fully established by the answers of
Blaine to the interrogatories, all the cir
cumstances being fully known to him, and
that a full and complete discovery of the
facts from Blaine is necessary to the
orators in their defense. Unless this is
done the orators say they IAN not so fully
set out and completely show and prove
the facts necessary to their defense. The
bill closes by asking that subpoena be
issued out of chancery for Blaine, and that
he be ordered to answer particularly the
interrogatories; that the proceedings be
stayed until such time as Blaine may
answer; that in case Blaine fails to ans wer
the bill or 6he interrogatories further pro-
ceedings be perpetually restrained.
