TAKEN TO JAIL.
Defendants in a Quay Libel Suit Fined and
imprisoned.

PITTsBURG. Feb IA Beaver special
says the defendants in the Quay libel suit
were sentenced to-day to six months inn
prisonment in Jail, a fine of 5000 aud costs
OF prosecution.
The defendants were Proprietor Million
and Editor Porter of the Beaver Star.
Judge Wickham in passing sentence made
reference to the facts in the case and Sc
yerely scored the defendants. Among other
things he said Without any more APP
parent cause than would exist in the ease
of any one of thousands who honestly re-
ceived checks from BaFdsey during his
official career you boldly and sensationaIly
charged the prosecutor with being an accom-
plice Of the defaulter and sharer in his
plumber Before the publication you had in
Ydur possession the prosecutors denial, II
any were needed. In his sworn infOTma-
ton he again ave- red the fslsity Of the pub
liShed charges. Had your arrest been 1Ol-
lowed by a TetTaCtlOn, or even by silence,
it would have been possible 10 infer that no
actual malice instigated the original publi-
cation. You seemed determined, however,
10 leave no posi- bic room for such inference.
From one of these libeOus editorials, pub
lshed only a week before the trial began, lt
would seem that yOu were acting on the
amazing theory that if a newspaper ac-
conclusiYely presumed to be guilty
until be proves his innocence in a court If
Justice. and that even there his own denialS
are entitled to no weight. At the trial, even
after the prosecutor proved his innocence,
you conceded nothing fully. although un-
able 20 offer a scintiila OF evidence 10 estat-
fish the truth OF the charges, and not more
tu8n a SClutills to dispTUvc malice. The
case was so clear rs 10 maks 1t absurd to
suppose that any twelve men, who could
have been selected from jury panel, would
have acquitted you. Nearly two weeks
have elapsed since your conviction, yet not
one word Of explanation, retTaCuUn or
apology has appeared in your news
paper. Under the circumstances. TO make
the sentence UHduly light would be TO turn
the proceedings into mOCkeTy. Let me add
that t you had libeled the humbieSt man in
Beaver County 30 the same extent that YOU
have traduced the prosecutor the same SEN
teuce that Is here imposed would be in
fictpd." After sentence was passed Million
ana Porter were taken TO the County jail to
serve teiT terms. Ii is said that after
short Incarceration application viii be made
TO the Board Of Pardons for their release.
II is also rum0red that the fines Will be paid
By thu Democratic State Committee.

tioa-Charge of Drunkenness Disproved.
sslf-Defense Set Up.

Few if any new facts were brought out
yesterday that would shed further light on
the tragic occurrence in which Henry de
Greayer and Park Officer Harper were the
leading characters.
Every one. seemingly, had good word
for the unfortunate young fellow whose life
was the forfeit of his temerity in daring to
demonstrate with a uniformed officer of the
Park Commissioners.
On the other hand, condemnation OF the
apparently unwarranted action of the officer
was just as general. Indeed he seemed to
be without friend to urge a word in his
favor. Even his Captain by brevet who
affected to believe that charge of simple
assault was sufficient to fit his crime, COM
pletely deserted him. If there was any
sympathy expressed for him at all it was
due solely to commiseraton for his lonely
condition.
The evidence thus far adduced is cumula-
