MOTIONS TO vACATE ORDERS EXTENDING THE
DEFENDANTS TIME TO ANSWER.
The suits for libel brought by Colonel W. W. Dud-
ley against The Commercial Advertiser "The
Tines and The World" were before Justice Patter-
son, In the Supreme Court Chambers, yesterday, on
motions made by Colonel George Bliss on behalf Of
the plaintiff to vacae the orders extending the time
Of the defendants TO answer. In the of "Tho
Commercial Advertiser the motion was denied. In
the case Of q Tho World" and The Times" which
had obtained an order for the examination Of Colonel
Dudley before trial and had secured extension Of
the time to answer, the ground that they could
not ind Colonel Dudley in this city, there was
brief argument.
Colonel Bliss explained that in the case of u The
Tmes,s after the complaint served the defendant
obtained stay The ground that Colonel Dudley
was q nonresident On December 10 Colonel Dud-
ley filed security for costs, and then the time to an
swer was extended by consent. On January Is, un-
known to Colonel Dudley, the defendant obtained an
order for the examination Of the plaintiff before trial
There could not be any defence the allegation that
the letter complained of was not published IL could
not be the law that nonresident could be prevented
from compelling the defendant 10 answer until he
came into the state and submitted himself to ex
animation. The Court could not deprive the plaintiff
of an issue or delay him I'm presenting 1t.
B. f. Einstein behalf of The Times,' said that
the conclusive answer to this that Justice An
rews had decided that the defendant was entitled TO
an examination of the plaintiff before trial There
had been no application to set aside that order he
did not see how Justice Patterson could overruie
Justice Andrews in the matter ne was willing that
Colonel Dudley's examination should be taken oy
commission in Washington anywhere else
q So am IT. exclaimed De Lsnccy Nicon, who
represenfed aTRe World"
Mr. Einstein said that Colonel Dudley kept away
from yew-York because he was AFRAID something
might be developed in his examination which would
lead to hts Indictment in Indiana II he had not
wrttten the letter complained OF he had written one
60 much like n that he was afraid to submit TO ex
animation. Tho decision was reserved.
