DANA's DEFENSE.
NOyes EaIIs in His Attempt to Drag
the Editor TO Washington.

New York June 2i.-The decision in the
libel case of Frank Noyes Of the Washing
ton Star against Charles a. Dana was
handed down to-day by Judge Brown Of the
United States district court. The Judge
decides that Mr.. Dana is not 10 go TO
Washington.
The suit against Mr.. Dana was institu-
ted by Frank b. Noyes. editor Of the
Washington Star, and resident Of the
state of Maryland, which fact was devei-
oped during the presentation Of the case
TO Justice Brown.
NOyes cOntended that he had been Il
belled in the sun and took the matter be-
fore the supreme court Of the District OF
Columbia. An indictment was found by
the grand jury Of the District Of Column
bia on March last, and forwarded here
tO~United States District Attorney Mac
Eariane, and an effort made TO remove
Dir. Dana TO Washington for trial.
b The matter came first before Commits
Sioner Shields in a formal way. Mr.. Nc
Farlane appeared there. and Elihu Root
and Franklin Bartlett appeared as counsel
fot Mr.. Dana. Subsequently the applica-
tiOh TO remove Mr.. Dana for trial to Wash
ington came up before Judge Addison
Brown in the United States court.
Mr.. Dana there assumed all response
complained of and said TO be ltbelous. On
behalf of Mr. Dana, Messrs. Roo, and
Bartlett argued against the removal OF
Mr.. Dana 10 Washington as without war
rant in law and violation Of the constitu-
tional rights OF a citizen. The first hearing
was had on April s. last.
Mr.. Root cOntended that the offense of
libel, such as was charged in the indict-
ment, was not an Offense against the Uni
ted States and the laws enacted by con-
gress for the District Of Columbia were
general laws of the United States.
He presented TO the court the fact that
the indictments are not based on affidavits
in the District Of Columbia, which in itself
was a violation of the fourth amendment
to the constitution of the United States.
Mr.. Root asserted that the attack on
Mr.. Dana was an attack on the liberties
of the whole press. such as was warranted
by no statute ever passed by congress.
Mr.. Root pointed out that the question as
to whether Mr.. Dana could be removed
from his home was a question of grave
Importance as affecting the whole press
of the United States. He said that every
newspaper man was endangered, and con-
tended that If any offense had been COM
mitted il had been committed in New York
and Mr.. Dana should be tried there.
Mr.. Bartlett presented his argument on
April 6, and Mr.. McFarlane closed the
hearing on April S.
This is the second attempt that has been
made to take Mr. Dana to Washington
The first was made by Boss Shepard in a
case almost similar to the last one. Justice
Blatchford heard the argument at that
time. Justice Blatchford ordered Mr.. Dana
to be discharged

The Prisoner Appears to he suffer-
ing the PanGs of RemOrse.
Atlanta. Ga, June 24,-Dr. Lewis Han
vey, who shot and killed his wife three
weeks ago, was to have been placed on
trial to-day in the superior court, but
the case was postponed on motion of the
state. The Myers trial was the cause
of the delay. When the Harvey case was
set for a hearing to-day it was thought
the Myers trial would have been conclud-
ed. but the unavoidable delays in the
trial of Myers made the process of the
case slow and prevented Harvey from be-
ing brought into court this morning.
Since his arrest on the night when he
shot his wife Harvey has refused to no.
tice any one. He sits in his cell at the
Jail and reads everything that is given
him. He refuses to talk to the prisoners
IN the same cage with him. Harvey, as
soon as he hears visitors approaching his
cell. holds a newspaper before him In
such a way that his face cannot be seen.
He spends nearly all his time sitting On
the floor and either reads or opens and
shuts a small fan in a mechanical man.
ner. Just as soon as the trial of Myers
has been concluded, which will be by
Wednesday morning, Hanvey's trial will
come up, though it may be postponed.

pie" said ex-Gov. Northen to-day, will

they will make the most Of the productive

The western colony, which will be COM

reach Atlanta in September. during the
exposition. They are all eager to reach
the south and they would have pulled up
stakes before this and made the move,
had they not been anxious to harvest their

There is scarcely any doubt that ex-Gov.
Northen will complete his arrangements

Mr.. Mitchell then said Mr. Clay he'd
been guilty of an act that was unworthy
of him when he attempted to prejudice
the jury against Myers by exhibiting the
pocketbook of Crowley and reading The
papers that were IN IT, lie said that the
attorneys for the state had asked why
Myers did not bring Brown Al
len into court. Myers had
not done this as he had
been locked behind iron bars and had
been given no opportunity to find the man.
The city detectives, though" he said,
have been given a good description of the
man and failed to make an effort to ar
rest him. Detective Cason sat here and
told you that he had been given a hun

think any OF them worth following up.
He said that absolutely no effort in the
world had been made to find the man that
Myers said did the killing"
During the speech of Mr.. Mitchell, he
intimated that Mr.. Glenn had been guilty
of fabricating testimony When that
gentleman replied, he said: 1T Is strange

east with specials. We therefore con-
graduate our readers on the fact that the
