Progress of the Hale-Armstrong Lib,
Eugt

Progress of the Hale-A rmstrong Libel
Suit.
The charge Of criminal libel brought by
DR.. William II. Hale, editor Of the Hcr'h
and Homc, against Editor William J. Arm
strong of the National Free Press, came on
for trial in the Police Court this afternoon
at special session Of the court. The al
legged libelous article was printed by the de-
fcndant in his paper and dubbed DR.. Hale,
who prints q medical journal, "The Hoo.
Doc Doctor The article made some scrl.
Gus charges against the complainant, which
were printed in TIE CRITIC of yesterday
The defense had large number of physi-
clans present in court to prove that DIR.
Hale had given certificates TO persons whom
they had pronounced nCurabic to the effect
that lac would effect q cure in their cases.
Mr.. d. Il. Cahll said he would show that
the defendant had right to show the
truth of the libel. The counsel read the
statue In the case which said that IL IL was
shown that the alleged libel was printed
with a good intention, and for good
cause the prosecution should cease. lie
denied that the Court sat as a committing
magistrate in cases of libel in the District.
Mr.. Charles A. Walter, who also read
from authorities TO show that the defense
bad right To prove the truth of the arti-
Gle complained OF. lie said that If allowed
this privilege he would prove by reputable
witnesses that the complainant is guilty of
crimes. the very name Of which will make
the Court blush. Assistant District Attor-
Bcy Coyle, who represented the Govern
mcnt. claimed that the statute said that
such evidence could be given in the trial of
the general issue, and that was not on
Trial here. The Court sustained the attor-
ucy, rcmarking that the Government has
only 10 make out a prima focia case
The Judge having decided that the de
fcnsC could not establish the truth of the
libcl n plea of not guilty was entered and
Tic witnesses were called.
The warrant was read which charged the
defendant with maliciously and falsely
printing the article for the purpose of Wilt
flying the plaintiff. The article charged
him with being fraud and a quack,
cheating the public and turning his old
father out to starve, &c
Georc n. Garrett printer, and John A..
Roland testified, but nothing important was
elected. Dr. Hale then took the stand. lie
said that few days previous to the publ
cation Of this article Armstrong called upon
him and wanted to know if he would give
his $40. Witness refused, and was abused
by Armstrong, who said that everything
lum Smith printed about witness was true.
lie ordered Armstrong out Of the office and
said that he would kick him out if he did
net 20.
"Did you have your picture taken MS a
Zig iniun - Showing a picturc). "No,'
replied the witness. "Do you know DR..

when you make that assertion you fab
