Ruling I'm h Case
Against Plymouth

Against plymouth DemOcrat.
The Supreme Court. yesterday, in an
opinion written by Judge Hackney. re-
versed the case of Ohio F. S. Miller VS..
Daniel Mcdonald and others. publishers
of the Plymouth Democrat. Tn case arose
out of a publication in a special edition of
the Democrat on the eve of the election
of 1890, when the appellant, Miller, was the
Republican candidate for county auditor.
The Democrat, as a party organ, sought
to discredit Miller by printing the contents
of a complaint for divorce in which Charles
Lehr was the plaintiff and Catherine Lehr
was defendant. Lehr had charged Miller
with being guilty of adultery with Mrs.
Lehr. and specified one time and place.
The complaint twas printed by the Demo-
crat, but before the time OF the trial of
the case it was dismissed, so that the paper
was left stranded for evidence to support
the allegation of the complaint. Miller
then brought suit for SIC, ZOO damages. The

printed account was not actionable be-

complaint, and when the decision went
against Miller he appealed to the Supreme
Court.
The privilege involved was not argued,
and in no way was presented to the court
for decision, so that this much-mooted
question has again escaped a judicial ter
mination. The court held that the evidence
to sustain the charge must be as broad as
the charge, and that while the record
shows enough to justify the finding as to
the general charge of adultery, there was
not enough of evidence to justify the
charge in the specific instance. The court,
says the opinion, must apply the rule that
the proof must be sufficient to cover the
allegation. The judgment below was there
fore reversed.
When asked last night as to the extent
and nature of the decision, Judge Hackney

evidence as to the specific instance of

In speaking of Judge Browns action in
granting John Huegele. proprietor of the
saloon and restaurant at No. 90 East Wash

vent Superintendent Powell from stationing
officers in the place on Sunday. Mayor
Denny said:
81 don't want to criticise the court at
all, but i am sorry that a temporary order
was issued before a hearing. i have al
ways felt that the decision of Judge Cox,
rendered some months ago in the Kerins
case, Is right. He decided that the police
intoxicatLg liquors are sold. and that the
superintendent of police has the authority
TO place officers in such places, IL he thinks
best If the construction OF the charter
given by Judge Cox is not the correct one,
then the Legislature should, without delay,

ATLANTIC CITY, Jan. II, 1S94-An ex-
citing scene was created at the Pennsylvania
Railroad station this afternoon by Jacob
~Freundlich, a local merchant, about the
hour the train was to pull out of the station.
The man was making a frantic search
through the train for his three-year-old
child, which had been abducted from home
by his wife, from whom he is separated.
Last evening Mrs. ~Freundlich, who de-
serted her husband and who is now living
at Richland, n. j., sent her sister to her bus
bands boarding house and demanded the
child. Her request was refused, and today
Mrs. Freundlich called and took forcible
possession of the infant, despite the vigorous
protests of of Mrs. Hannah Ireland, the
boarding house mistress.
Word was sent to Mr.. Freundlich's place
of business of the abduction, which started
him for the the station with blood in his eye.
He boarded. the train ndsucceededi in finding
his faithless wife, and created a connection
in the train by attempting to wrest the child
from its mothers embrace, but he was I'M
successful.
The moving of the train and the conduc-
tors interference compelled Freundlich to
desist in his efforts and allow the mother to
depart in triumph. Mr.. Freundlich has Sc
cured counsel and will institute proceedings
at once to regain possession of the child upon
the ground that his wife is not a fit person to
to rear the child.
