ALLEGED LEGAL FRAUDS.
The criminal libel case against the
proprietors of the Mail began at
Stockton, Cal, February Goth, and
would probably last a week. The IL
bel consisted in the Mail demanding
that August Munter, an attorney
practising at the local bar, be disbar-
red for having written a complaint
and answer in the same case. E. S.
Pillsbury was assisting the prosecu-
ton and Judge Terry and Exon
gresham Budd appeared for the de-
tense. A sensation was created when
the defense stated what they could
prove, and declared that the records
in probate cases since early days had
been gone over and would disclose
systematic fraud on the part of GER
tain probate attorneys.

the ambulance hospital of the city
fifty-six persons who had been

armed men, who killed the driver,

DAvITT ON PHILLIPS.
Michael Davitt has written letter
eulogizing Wendell Phillips. Davitt's
estimate of Phillips is that no other
name in American history embodies
as fully the fundamental principles
of the Declaration of Independence
as does that of Wendell Phillips. His
Interpretation of the great truths of
that immortal charter was not blunted
by prejudices or narrowed by geogra-
phical boundaries. He preached lib
erty as a gospel for mankind, and
not as creed for favored people or
nation
