COPYRIGHT CASE.
Mr.. Robert D"wninE's Samson Taken
Into Court.


Robert Downing. the tragedian, was the
defendant in q case placed trial before
Judge Bradley, in Circuit Court No. 1 to-
day. The plaintiff. Charles D. Koppel of
New York, claims $500 damages from Mr.
Downing because, as he asserts, the latter
produced in 1s94-95 for thirty-two times,
the tragedy of Samson whieh Mr.. Kop-
pei claims is his property. The play, it is
said. was translated from the Italian by
w. d. Howells, the novelist, for Mr.. Kop-
pei, who thereupon duly copyrighted it in
this country. Mr.. Downing claims that Mr.
Koppel, not being the author or translator
of the play, was not authorized to receive
the American copyright of it, and that he
was, therefore. at liberty to produce it.
Mr.. KOppePs counsel, c. c. Lancaster
and j. H. Rails ton, took, of course just the
opposite position Mr.. Downing was rep
resented by Edwards and Barnard. The
trial may be concluded this afternoon.
