EDITOR GRAHAM HELD.
The Grand Jury Will Investigate
the Libel ON Chief Murphy.


Justice Potts this morning committed
Abraham Lincoln Graham, editor of a
sheet called THE Mirror in $500 bail to
await the action of the Grand Jury on
a charge of criminal libel preferred by
Chief of Police Murphy. Lawyer e. K.
Seguine, who appeared for the defen-
dant, asked for his discharge because
there was nothing, he said. in the al
legged lbelous article to show that the
"Ghief of Police referred to was Chief
or Police Murphy. Justice Potts over
ruled the point as ridiculous,
Chief Murphy said. when on the stand,
that he did not mind criticism in his
official position, but that he did object
to being accused of protecting such a
den as the Atlantic Hotel. He swore
that he had made frequent efforts to
break up the den. He had caused John
Adair, he said. who lives next door to
the hotel. to watch it and it was upon
furnished by Adair that the
raid in June last was made. The pro-
prietor. a man named Smith, was COM
Initted as a result of that raid to await
the action of the Grand Jury, and not
discharged. as published.
The Chief of Police declared that me
had requested Alderman Vemnalye not
70 vote Tor a renewal of a license for the
place SO long as Mrs. Kate Matthews
ran it.
He declared that if he wanted to par
ade his honesty he could tell a great
deal more.
What more can you tell?" asked
counsel. The Chief refused to answer.
why do you decline to answerg' he
because I would lay myself liable for
ngglecl OF duty" was the reply.
It was finally brought out that Mrs.
Matthew's had offered the Chief money
II he would withdraw his opposition TO
the place being granted a liquor license.
why didn't you arrest that woman
Tor bribery? 2" asked Counsel Seguine.
Because the woman was ignorant of
what she was doing. Ignorant people
often try to accomplish things with
Justice Potts ruled that all such testi-
sticken out.
Policemen Burke, John Ada:r and De-
tectiye Pearson all testified that the
Chief had instructed them to watch the
pace from time to time, having in
Formed them that he proposed breaking
Alderman Vermilye corroborated the
Ghlef's statement that he had requested
MN to vote against a renewal of the
liquor LICENSE for the place. The Alder
man said tina Mike O'Mara, who appears
to have an interest in the den, said thai
the Chief was satisfied to have the
place licensed. The Alderman made an
lnyestigation and of course found that
O'Mara had lied.
After the taking of some minor testi-
mony the bail was fixed at $500.

BLAMEs HIS FATHER-IN-LAW.
William smiths Peculiar Ground
for yOrc

Vice Chancellors Reed and Emery sat
in the Court of Chancery this morning
and heard motions. Robert Lawrence
applied to Vice Chancellor Emery, on
behalf of Annie Smith, for counsel fee
and alimony pending the suit brought
against her for divorce by William P.
Smith, her husband. In his petition the
husband alleges that his wife deserted
him. This Mrs. Smith denied in the Pc
tition presented for her by. Mr.. Law
renee to the Court. She says she was
married by the Rev. DR.. Cornelius Brett
on the Hill, August II, 1882, and has
two children, a girl twelve years old
and a boy five years old. At hat time
her husband, who was employed as a
wall paper designer, received $25 per
week. They boarded for the first four
or five years of their married life, her
husband paying at first $2 per week
for their board and later 50. That was
all he did towards the support of his
family. She asked him to provide cloth
ng for herself and child but he refused,
and she was obliged to secure such
clothing from her parents and friends.
When they had been married five years
they went to housekeeping, and she fur
nished the house on money she borrowed
from ner Irlends. her fatner came TO
live with them then and he paid the
rent. About that time her husband lost
his situation and was out cf work for
some time. He finally obtained employ
ment and she frequently asked him to
provide for the children. He not only
refused to do so but used abusive
1891, she went to him and asked him to
give her some money to buy clothing for
the children and not make her father
support his children. He abused her
again. ana told her she cOuiQ go WIN
her father and take her children with
her. She told her father. of what her
husband had said and her father told her
to take the children and come with him.
She did so. Subsequently she met him
children, but he refused; She also offered
to return to him but he said. that she
was the last woman he would live with.
Robert Carey, who appeared for Mr..
Smith, vigorously opposed the motion,
and in support of his argument read an
her charges, and said that they were
living happily together when his Wife's
father, Theodore Wandel. appeared Upon
the scene of his bliss. This Wandel,. he
deserted his wife and daughter many

the house and Immediately began to
exert a great influence over her. She
became infatuated with her father, and

became absolutely under his control. For

CAN THEY FIGHT ANYWHERB2

WASHINGTON, Oct. Z, 1S95.-Attorney
General Harmon today reiterated his
statement made last week that the Cor
bett-Fitzsimmons fight will not come off
on any ground over which the United
States has jurisdiction. The talk that
nave exclusive jurisdiction over their
reservations or country, and by adopting
the prize fighters as members of the
pale of federal jurisdiction, is regarded
in federal legal circles here as simply
nonsense, without basis of fact. The
further contention that there is any
United States over which some State or
States has not police jurisdiction, is
regarded as equally absurd. '~fSluggers'
Island" in the Missouri River, which is
classed as neutral ground" is under
the police jurisdiction of the State of
Missouri
