ARCHIE MOONLIGHT.
Pensacola Enjoying a Sensation of the



From the Pensacola (Eia1 Commercial.
For some little time past all parts of the
city have been considerably exercised over
the antics of an alleged ghost, to whom the
boys have applied the sobriquet Archie
Moonlight"
Archie is fellow possessed of very con-
siderable nerve, or he is fool of the most
simple order, running, as he does, the risk
of being shot by some steady-wristed fell
low who takes no stock in superstitiouS
fancies.
That Archie is a verify may not be
doubted in the face of assertions from peo-
pie of unquestionabe veracity, who have
seen him, and who aver most positively that
Archie is exactly as represented by those
who have sanely described his appearance
and manHuvers.
There are some people whose fears, when
they beheld the ghost, led them to believe
that Archie possessed the power of contract
ing or expanding his dimensions who say
that he appears at first to be of an ordinary
size, but, after a minutes observation, he
is seen to expand into the proportions Of a
Goliah, with all the terrible effects upon
the beholder such a spectacle might be cal
culated to inspire.
Those who had a pretty close observation
of his ghostShip, however, say that such is
not the case, but the fellow is evidently
armored, as the clanling of his covering
NAV be heard as he walks. He is gotten up
out of the ordinary, seemingly having some
makeup, adjustable to his head and
shoulders, which gives him an uncouth but
by no means supernatural appearance.
Several parties have started out to cap
ture or shoot the gentleman, but when the
opportunity presented itself they invariably
lost sight of their object by taking to their
heels
A party of young fellows lay in wait for
him the other night at the corner of Gov
eminent and Alcaniz streets; they were all
well armed and bent on the destruction of
Archie: they expected him to cross Seville
square, and they were on the Government
street side, ready to catch sight of him as
he hove in view and riddle him with bullets.
They awaited his coming innervous expect
ancy, and were about to give up all hope
that he would appear that night, when
''cank, clank, clank." he rounded the cor
ner from Alcaniz street and stepped right
in the midst of his would be destroyers. His
advent acted like a bombshell; the boys
scattered in every direction, some leaving
their guns behind them, and Archie, pre-
sumably, calmly surveyed the field won
with such little cost to himself.
1t is said that his appearance has had the
effect of frightening woman into convul-
sions, from which she is still suffering, but
the report has been traced to no authentic
source; it is vouched for that he went into
the round house the other night and fired
up an engine. He occasionally asks Tor a
drink of water, saying he has drunk moth
ing for twenty years. He has a playful
habit of turning back somersaults over
fences, and, at present, seems to have the
town between his finger and thumb, no
body being daring enough to essay his cap
ture in earnest.

A LAWYER MAY BE SUED
If He Maliciously Defames Witness
Court of Appeals Decisions.
From the Baltimore Herald.

From the Baltimore Herald.
ANNAPOLIS, MD, June 13.-The court Of
appeals rendered an interesting and i'm
portant decision to-day on a point never
before brought to its attention in this state,
settling the question how far may lawyer
criticise a witness. The case was that Of
Maulsby VS.. Reifsnider. and the opinion of
the majority of the court was delivered by
Judge Robinson.
The case is a suit against an attorney at
law for SANDER. The defendant pleads in
bar of the action that the alleged defama-
tory words set out in the declaration were
spoken by him in his capacity as counsel in
the trial Of cause in a court OF justice.
The plaintiff replied that the words spoken
had no reference to said action. To the
replication the defendant demurred, and in
sustaining the demurrer the court decided as
matter of law that if the defamatory words
were spoken by defendant as counsel in the
trial of a cause in court OF justice,
the action could not be maintained even
though the plaintiff should prove that
the words thus spoken were false and were
known to be false by the defendant, and
even though they were spoken maliciously,
and even though they had no reference TO
said cause as to any subject matter or to
any judicial inquiry involved in said action.
In other words, the court decided that the
privilege of counsel in the trial of a cause is
an absolute and unqualified privilege, and
although he is subject to the authority of
the court for the abuse Of this privilege, and
may be punished for misbehavior or mis-
conduct, he cannot be held liable to an ac-
ton of Islander brought by the person
injured. This question is for tho first time
presented to the court,
There was evidently wide diversity Of
opinion amongst the learned judges on this
question, as it took three opinions to make
up the views held by the court. With Judge
Robinson Judges Bryan and Irving agree
in entirety, Judges Stone and McSherry
agree in part. and wrote separate opinions,
coinciding with the court below. Judge
Robinson's opinion states the law of the
state as interpreted by the court of last re-
sort. A counsel il absolutely protected as
to everything he says having relation or
reference to the subject matter before the
court. But if he takes advantage Of his
position as a counsel TO assail wantonly
the character of another and 10 utter mali
ciously what he knows TO be false, and in
regard to q matter that has no relation or
reference TO the subject matter Of the in
curry, he is answerable in an action OF
Islander to the party injured And although
the court erred in sustaining the demurrer
TO the twelfth replication OF tine plaintiff,
vet insomuch as the words set out In the
declaration we're spoken by the defendant
as counsel and had reference TO the subject
matter then before tho court, no action will
lie against him, and the Judgment must,
therefore, be affirmed.
