A Libel Case EOnsuited.
CHICAGO, June 13.-After a two days
trial of John Clifford in an action for $780,
900 damage against Robert Hervey. it has
been n%onsuited, owing to the absence OF
one of the plaintiffs Witnesses. Clifford
was appointed architect for the new City
Hall at San Francisco about five years ago.
Shortly after his appointment a number OF
articles purporting to be interviews with
prominent Chicago architects was pub
lished here, abiding slightingly to Mr..
Cliford's ability in his profession, and
| which Clifford claims caused his removal
| from his position. He returned TO Chicago
| and instituted three suits against the srchi
tects who were said to have furnished the
| interviews. In every one of these he was
| defeated either by negligence OF his sttor-
news or failure to have his witnesses Cd
hand. Hervey was Clifford's lawyer in
one of the suits, and Clifford claims Her
| yey was either willfully or carelessly dere-
| Iict in his duty in falling to incorporate a
| copy of the newspaper containing the al
| legged libel in the bill of exceptions. A re-
| porter named Cook was an essential wit
ness in the present suit, and as he was
absent from the city the nonsuit was nee
essary, Clifford thus securing another de-
feat in his long continued litigation.
