NEWSPAPER HONOR.
How the Brave Reporter Guards
the COnfid ence of Friends.

CHICAGO, December 25.--The Times
Baltimore special of yesterday says;
john I. Morris, Sun reporter, has
gone to Jail rather than sacrifice his
honor by betraying confidence. Several
weeks ago he wrote an item giving the
particulars of an indictment that had
been found, but not announced by the
grand jury. He was summoned before
that body, but he refused to divulge the
source of his information. He wes
brought before Judge Duffy, who said he
would commit him for contempt of
court, but this had no effect ON Morris.
The Judge postponed judgment several
times, but to-day, finding Morris inflex,
ible in his determination, he sent him to
Jail. His imprisonment will at least last
during the life of the present grand
Jury, which will be several weeks. The
newspaper men of the city are arrang-
ing a grand celebration in his honor
when he comes out, and will see that he
has a merry Christmas within the prison.
