HELD FOR LIBEL.
The Danger of Using Names of Friends
in Correspondence.


A libel suit was instituted before Justice
Cardin last night by NJ NJ. Burke, Esq, in
behalf of a prominent young Lithuanian
named Matt p. Blazs. The accused is an
other prominent Lithuanian named Frank
Lcsis
The facts Of the case are of a very inter
csting character They hinge on the anxiety
Of a young man TO work himself into the
good graces Of a woman, and yet not having
the courage to communicate with her in
person, or under his own name. In writing
letter Lcsis gave his own house number for
| an answer hut used the name Of his friend
| Blazis, for the address The letter gotastruy,
/ was knocked from post TO post, and got into
/ Blazi# hands after having passed through the
/ dead letter Office at Washington, ID. c..
| Bla2is got MS hot as his name implies when
/ he learned how his name had been used and
his anger went several degrees higher
| when ne learned that the woman to
whom the letter had been written
was of immoral reputation and in its jour
neys the letter had followed her to at least
two houses of like reputation. Blazs, after
considerable Investigation, learned that the
letter had been written by Lesis and charged
him with it. Iesis acknowledged the writ
ing and tried TO smooth the matter over, but
owing TO the character Of the woman in the
case Blazis refused to overlook the act and
last night caused the arrest.
In presenting the case Lawyer Burke read
the letter in question as follows:

bottom of the letter and Blazis, resides on

never know that his name had been mixed
up in the affair.
The letter was taken to 3O2 West Goa
street. The letter carrier was informed that
the woman had gone to 1l7 North Railroad
, street, Pottsvillc,and the letter was forwarded
there, but not claimed. 1t was then sent tC
