VERDICT AGAINST MCCLURE

The Editor OF the Philadelphia Times
Creates n Sensation in Court.
PHILADELPHIA, April ia sensa
ton was created in common pleas court
No. 3 when Colonel A. X. Mcclure,
editor of The Times, arose, and address
ing Judge Gordon, charged that he
was not being treated fairly by the
court, and also hat his witnesses were
being bribed. He then requested his
counsel to withdraw from the case.
The cause of the trouble was a suit for
libel brought by ex-Mayor William B.
Smith Of this city against The Times.
When Colonel Mcclure and counsel
had retired from the courtroom counsel
for the ex-mayor called the latter to the
stand. Mr.. Smith denied all the testi-
mony given by the defense since the
proceedings began. Counsel then
called a number of witnesses who cor
roborated the evidence of the ex-mayor.
This closed the testimony, and after
Smiths attorney had delivered a short
address to the jury Judge Gordon
charged them. The jury returned a
verdict of $45, 600 in favor of Mr..
Smith, after being out but 10 minutes.

A prominent lawyer Of this state in
commenting upon the recent criticism
by a member of the constitutional con-
~vsntion OF the illegal way in which the
amendment to the p~rohibitory clause
has been submitted raises what he deems
q more serious objection to the legality
Of the procedure and one which will pro-
badly knock out altogether the supposed
proposed amendment. He says, that
the question whether article "a shall be

His Accounts 0f Siberian Outrages Would

New YORK, April 19.-Harry De
Windt, who is at the Waldorf hotel, is
, well known traveller and correspond
emit Of The Pail Mall Gazette, London.
Mr.. De Windt's fad is Russia and the
prisons Of Siberia. Speaking Of Siberia,
he said:
"Of course you know I am diamet-
rically opposed to George KEENAN,, the
Russian writer. MI. KEENAN, has writ
ten Of the horrors Of Siberian prisons,
and his writings have been widely
commented upon. Mr.. KEENAN, is writ
ing and talking of the Siberia of 10
years ago. What Mr.. KEENAN, says Of
Siberia is today all wrong. I wish TO
pay tribute to Nh. KEENAN, by saying
that his lectures and writings have done
more to secure good treatment for Rus
sian convicts in Siberia than the COM
bined efforts Of all the political socie-
ties in Russia.
Car Has Liberal viewA
Mr.. De Windt had a personal inter-
view with the new car recently.
II found him a clever man." he said.
II found that he has broad and liberal
views. The rumor has been current in
Russia for some time that the system
Of Punishment to Siberia was to be
done away with. From what I learned
l think l can safely say that
at the end Of thres years
this punishment by exile will be
obsolete. Steps are being taken now to
do away with the system. There is no
capital punishment in Russia. Exile to
Siberia is the severest punishment.
The new car is in favor of giving free
dom to the pross and to public speakers.
Indeed he is too democratic to suit his
ministry"

Ex-TreasUrers Must ray.

MADISON, Wis, April 1S.-A most
unexpected delay in the releasing of
the ex-state treasurers from judgments
secured for interest on state deposits
kept by them has come from the refusal
OF Attorney General Mylrea to cancel
the judgments as directed by the newly
made laws upon this subject. The at
torney general gives as a reason for this
refusal the belief that the law is un-
constitutional.

other industries. To-day we have two
well equipped plants for their manu-.

fact that they are in great demand,
and each factory has numerous orders
on hand, is the best evidence of the
confidence the public have in them.
They have been before the public, and
in constant use for several years, and
have in every instance given entire

The factory of c. Mears is located
