Exactly. y

CAaCt1J.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Jan. 19.-When
court resumed in the Quay libel suit
this morning the room was crowded.
John A. Mellon. one OF the defendants,
admitted the publication. On Oct 81 he
received communication from Chair
man Kerr, of the Democratic state COM
mittee, saying important matter had
been sent for publication. The electro
type was received the following day,
near the time of going to press. He
thought the matter was for public in
formation and published it. w. 81.
Porter. the other defendant, said he had
been connected with the paper since
September, and knew nothing of the
publication Of certificate IN advance ex-
cept having seen the electrOtype. Mel
lon. recalled. said he had no knowledge
of the articles in advance of the pub
LEGATION. The defense here rested their
case.
The question was raised by Mr.. Mar
shall, for the prosecution, as to the
nature of the publications. The court
said in reply that there is distinct line
between a privileged communication
and privileged occasion. The view of
the court was that the occasion was
privileged. but the communication was
not. 1T was the duty of the newspaper
man, when he hears anything, the eff
feet of the publication of which is to de-
stroy the reputation Of citizen, to ex-
anime carefully the alleged facts. He
has no right to publish all that is
dumped into the Office"
Mr.. Daugherty then began the argu-
ment for the defense. He referred to
the rejection of the Democratic jurors,
and claimed the jury was packed. The
publication was near the close of a
heated campaign. and he insisted that.
whether true or false. the papers had a
right to publish them as matter of
public interest, If not malicious.
Near the close Mr.. Daugherty said,
excitedly: .sIf any man should say that

torneys Buchanan and Martin in chorus.
The judge here interfered and restored
order.

the commonwealth. He said the right
OF the press must be always subordi-
nate TO the rights of individuals. At
the conclusion of Mr.. Thompson's ar
gument Judge Wickham delivered his
charge, ana shortly before 10 O'Clock

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. - Justice
Stephen j. Field, of the United States
supreme court, has written a courteous

were first made to the irrigation con-
greSs held recently at Helena, Mont,

When these charges were called to
the attention of Justice Field he very
promptly characterized the statement

sure the senator had been miSrepre-
scented, for he could not imagine on
what ground such q charge could be

the statement, but you may say that it
is falsehOod; that have asked for no

is to be appointed, and that don't care
to know them, and that it matters not
to me what they are.
The only instance when I have
spoken OF particular man for Judge
was recently when Senator Hoar. chair
man OF the Judiciary committee, came
to me and asked what knew of Judge
Beattie, of Idaho. l told him that he
had been conducting court in San Fran

lawyers had spoken in favor of his nom

make good one. But the charge of
Senator Power is falsehOod, and

man was arrested without any warrant

cUffed 500 miles only to be released
from the charge or crime of

Miller is a man of about forty, and I'M
