which had ever been said by the plaintiff
In answer to the charges i'm the original
article. Here Mr.. Thorn read from nu-
merous publications. among which the
most notable perhaps. were those OF De
cember 80 1884, January a. 1895: and April
:, 1896. The first OF these heralded that
the Pilot had sent out $500 copies OF
this libel. and gloried In the fact that
II believed the article had been read by
10000 people. lie asked the jury IL they
believed from such an article as this
that the libel was published for patriotic
purposes. Would they not more natural
ly infer that II was for the purpose OF
increasing the Pilots circulation? He
read also the bitter article in the Pilot of
January "a. 1895. and when he had fin
ished he asked, with biting sarcasm: Did
the heart that wrote that feel patriotic
motives?'
WITH DRAMATIC EFFECT
Mr.. Thom then TOOK No what Is PROB
ably the most celebrated Of the subsequent
publications In the Pilot IN this matter
namely the article which starts out: IF
Christ should come through Virginia to-
day" When he had finished tie reading
OF this he exclaimed with dramatic effect:
That emanated from minister Of the
Gospel The principles Of Peace and good
VIII tONafu men. WniCn the CHRIST, OF
whom he speaks came on earth to teach,
seem to have had little 10 do with that;
yet you are asked 20 believe that there
was no malice in the article of December
23l. If these charges are true (Mr Thorn
here pointed to Mr.. Massey he should
wear the stripes, and yet these are the
charges these men have made without
malice"
Mr.. Thorn pointed out the fact that
the issue OF the Pilot of December 3D.
was three times as great as any previous
or subsequent issue OF the Pilot.
Mr.. Thorn laid great stress upon the
