Ane jury FaVors the Plaintiff, but the
Court Overrules Their Verdict.
LONDON, Nov. 23.-The action for libel
brought by F. M. Adams, the London bar
rister, against Mr.. Bernard Coleridge
was resumed Saturday. Mr.. Adams con.
tinued his opening remarks. He said that
he had much affection for Miss COleridge,
but had no thought of marrying her. At
torney General James submitted that the
plaintiff had no case and must be nom
suited. The Judge ruled that Ber-
nard's letter was a privileged communi-
cation, and Mr.. Adams, in order to
maintain his case, must prove express
malice or dishonesty on the part of
Bernard. He decided to leave the case to
the jury, reserving to himself, however,
the right to decide the action on a point
of law in case the verdict was not war
ranted by the evidence. Mr.. Adams con-
tlnued his statements and said that he
and Miss COleridge were now resolved to
get married. The case was submitted to
the jury, who, after some deIiberation,
brought in a verdict for the plaintiff of
$4,000. The Judge overruled this verdict
and gave verdict for Judge Coleridge
with costs

IMPRISONED FOR LIFE.
Pathetic Story of Paternal Devotion t.
wards a Wife Murderer.

Il
wards a Wife Murderer.
A touching story of devotion is revived,
says an Albany, { N. Y. special of Nov.
20, by the annual visit paid to John War
ren, life prisoner in the penitentiary, by
his aged father, who lives on the old
homestead in Mansfield, where the erring
son was born. For quarter of a CEN
tury the old man has visited his son in
prison, regularly once year, driving
from the farm 80 miles distant, and al
ways brings his ''bOy'' something that is
produced there. The prisoner has not
much-hope of pardon, for his crime was
too atrOcious for him to expect pardon,
and the meetings, year after year, grow
more affecting, as the old mans health is
failing rapidly. His wagon was
this year treighted with good
things for the son who is legally
dead. There were apples, pears, grapes.
pies, cakes, dOughnuts and other things
that spoke of home and the kindly remem-
brance of him, but more than all the
warm, homemade stockings, knit by
mother and sisters, were the strongest
link to connect the present with the past.
Warren's crime for which he is paying so
great a penalty was the murder OF his
eighteen-year-old wife. commit ed in Toll
land county 26 years ago. He was then
but p years old, and while walking with
his wife along a secluded road he dragged
her to the Willimantic river and held her
under the water until she was dead. The
body was hidden under brush and leaves
in the woods, where it was discovered. He
manifested the utmost indifference when
his crime was proven, but his conduct
while in prison has made him a general
favorite with the officials. He is known
as the Estate shoemaker and cobbles
shoes for the prisoners and keeping the
officers supplied.
