In the United States District Court in
Indianapolis on the 18th the attorneys for
John Shoemaker filed a bill of discovery
i'll the Blaine libel suit. In this bill allega-
tions are made to the effect that the COM
plalnants marriage was a clandestine one,
hastily arranged, and without license be-
ing 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 oficiated is
now dead, and that if any private mem.
orandum or record of the marriage was
made 1t has 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
Blame to the heterogeneous, 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
lone the orators say they can not so fully
set out and completely show and prove
the facts necessary to their defense. The
Dill closes by asking that a subpoena be
lssuei out of chancery for Blaine, and that
he be ordered to ans wer particularly the
Undergraduates; that the proceedings be
stayed until such time as Blaine may
answers; that in case Blaine fails to ans wer
the hl!i or the heterogeneous further pro.
ceedlngs be perpetually restrained.
