AT THE HEAD OF THE BAR.
Abbeville Lawyers Take High
Stand In the City of Washington.

In the case of Thos. G. Lansden against the
Washington Gas Light Company, John r.
Mclean, It's president: Charles B. Bailey. It's
retary, and its general superintendent, John
Leetch. the jury this morning returned ver-
dict In favor of Mr.. Lansden, giving judg-
ment against the company, and against Mr..
Bailey and Mr.. Leetch, In the sun of Sl2. 500.
AS heretofore stated In the Star, Mr.. Lans-
den, at one time an employe OF the company,
complained that the defendants had publish.
ed In the New York Progressive Age, Februa-
ry, 1894, an article charging him with falsely
swearing before congressional committees in
1893 and 1894 as TO the cost Of manufacturing
and distributing gas.
The amount OF the verdict was Just half OF
the amount confidently expected by the great
majority Of those who had followed the case,
and the generally expressed opinion at the
city hall was that the company had escaped
with very light Judgment. The defendan t.
will probably note an appeal, but Messrs. J. j.
Darlington and j. Altheus Johnson are conf
dent that the judgment will not be reversed.
