wHEELoCK SATISFIED.
The Verdict Regarded as a Vim
dication OF the Newspaper.


Editor Wheelock, of the Pioneer
Press. was seen after the verdict was
rendered, He said 81 am well satisfied
with the verdict, as | look upon it as
vindication for the defendant. and
condemnation of the plaintiff. A plea of
Justification was made to the suit brought
against the paper by Mr.. Donnelly, and
the answer thereto must be as broad
as the charges made. 1t was an inpos-
slbility to prove some of the charges,
simply because of the death of the peo-
pie who could prove it. The charges
made and the letter written by King
eleven years ago were of events which
occurred eleven years prior to that
time. Had Mr.. Donnelly brought his
suit on the first publication, the
charges could have been proved to the
hilt. But he did not. He has
waited until nearly half cen
tury has elapsed, and when all the
parties excepting King are dead. SO
accordingly our plea of justification was
not SuDStantiated as full as it ought to
have been, and hence, under the ruling
of the judge, the jury had to bring in
verdict for the plaintiff. They have
done that, bringing in verdict of 81,
which, under every ere umstance. is
emlnently satisfactory to the defendants

APOTHEOSIS OF WILLIAM
KING

Not in vain have been shed all the
gore and the sweat of the DoNNELLY
trial. Had the floor Of the court room
given way yesterday, as it was for mo-
ment feared it might, and had some
limbs been broken and few lives lost,
even calamity of this sort would not
have been without its compensation.
Weeks of hard work, large expenditures
of money and dozen or two of dead
men would be small price to pay for
the important contribution to the his
tory of morality and the records of
vicarious sacrifice which the evidence
in that undressing case have given to the
world.
Why did WILLIAM KING go to Canada
once upon time in his eventful career?
For years this has been great mystery,
demanding solution and yet sealed
against the inquiries of the most dill
gent. Everybody knew that it was not
because WILLIAM KING himself had
done some wrong. No one has ever
even suspected that. Perish the thought.
WILLIAM KING, like every other king,
could do no wrong. There must have
been some other explanation of this re-
markable episode in this truly good
mans life.
Many theories have been advanced
but in general there has prevailed an
impression that some of WILLIAM
KINGS friends had been guilty of at
least some breachaof etiquette. and that
to shield them our sanity feilow-citi-
zen had taken hasty trip abroad.
Even this was hard to believe. 1t did
not seem possible that WILL LAM KING
had been asSoclating with people who
could be guilty of a breach of etiquette.
One of his spotIess character woul d be
sadly out OF place in The society of any
but the very holy. And yet one can
not be held responsible for the miscon-
duct of his acquaintance. The best
men are exposed to this danger One
of the Prince of Wales companions is
said to have been gambler, and a dis
honest one at that. And so even WILL
IAN KING. with his confiding. guileless
nature, might have been introduced to
people who did not always observe the
same high moral standard for which he
has ever been conspicuous. This has
been thought possible by many who
have been sorry for it, and grieved over
it in secret.
WILLIAM KINGS evidence at the
DoNNELLY trial has put all these fears
at rest and cleared up all this mystery.
He did not go to Canada for his own
sake. Everybody has known this all
along. He went to Canada for the sake
of his friends. This, too, everybody
has long believed. But his friends were
not bad men. They had done nothing
wrong. They were good, innocent, spot
less men; as good, as innocent and as
spotless AS WILLIAM KING himself. But
the world was speaking unkindly of
them, and WILLIAM KING could not
bear to hear the cruel world. Rather
than do so he went into exile. Oh, sub
lime self-saerifice! What heroic devo-
ton to friendship What tenderness of
feeling! What sHblimity of moral senti-
ment! Not in vain, indeed, the sore and
the sweat. the work and the expense of
the DoNNELLY trial, when it has
brought to light truths like these and
perfected the apotheosis of VILLA NJ
KING.
Come off, BILL KING, come off.

THE VERDICT.

Some of the Jurors Voted for
$4,000 at First.
The jury retired few minutes after
5 O'clock, and returned their verdict at
$40. 1t is known that the very first
ballot showed that the jury was unani-
nous for a finding in favor of the
plaintiff. 8 but there was wide vari-
ance as to the amount. Some voted for
as high as $4,000, while the others
ranged all the way down from that sum
to a paltry 81. The 81 men won the
victory. They were persistent and re-
manned mistaken to the end. They
argued that yindication was all that
Donnelly could expect.

Special to the Globe
DULUTH. Oct. 24.-Spitzer & Co, of
Boston, have brought suit against the
village OF West Duluth, asking for
writ of mandamus compelling the presi-
dent and recorder of the village to sign
the $4,000 bonds, which the VIII
lage voted to issue to the plaintiffs.
The contract calls for the delivery of
the bonds at Boston. but the council
maintains that the money should be
paid in West Duluth: therefore it de-
clared the contract off, and has adver-
tlsed for new bids. 1t was but short
time ago that certain taxpayers brought
an injunction suit to restrain the city
from issuing the bonds. The court re-
fused to allow it, and the case was APP
pealed to the supreme court. The VII
lage is having considerable difficulty
i'll the matter, being between two fires.

well along with the work of cutting before
snow falls.

H.. w. Stone, the Benson farmer and
banker, returned home last evening after a
two-days' visit to ST Paul, The farmers up
IN his section, he states, are holding their
wheat for higher prices to considerable ex-
tent, but whether this is due to the influence
OF any OF the Hold Your Wheat circulars,
cannot be told. Many farmers are aecus-
toned to hold back a considerable portion of
their crops, especially if there seems to be a
prospect of higher prices.

Suit Of the City Against the
Ex-Treasurer.
PARkER's CASE BEING HEARD.
Testimony Taken Before Judge Eben
Smith-Examination OF Treasurer
and Comptroller.
PARkER's CASE BEING HEARD

The long pending suit of the city OF Seattle
az ainst ex-Treasurer Parker and his bondsmen,
has at last reached point from which settle
ment seems likely to be reached. Judge Eben
Smith has been appointed referee, and il now
engaged taking testimony. Yesterday Treasurer
Ames aud Comptroller Ferris were examined,
and today other witnesses viii testify. Judge
stratton represents Isaac Parker and al his
bondsmen except Fred Gasch, whose interests
are watched by C. F. Munday. Judge Jacobs is
counsel for the city
When Mr.. Parker turned over his books to
Willis l. Ames It was found that they would
not balance The old books were discarded by
MI Ames, and giving Mr.. Parker receipt for
the cash turned over, the new city treasurer
opened another set. It was agreed between MI
Parker and the city council that two experts
should 60 through the books and determine the
amount of the shortage. Messrs. Parsons and ].
J. Knof were selected, and they discovered .
deficiency of $4,000. The books were, owing to
Mr.. Parker's inexperience, found to be in q very
complicated condition, but Nj. Parker managed
to point out omissions of entries. which should
have gone to his credit, to reduce the shortage
to 5000. It is to recover that difference that
suit is brought
Mr.. Ames' testimony was entirely Official as
he had not himself made an examination, but
has confined himself strictly to transactions Of
his own term
Mr. Ferris testimony was more decisive. He
produced receipt showing that he had paid
M Parker the sum Of $500, the purchase price
OF the Old englne-h0 site on Columbia street,
between Front and Second. No entry was found

The greatest gain to shippers through this new
