THE SMITH DIVORCE.
Slow Work in Getting to the Bedrock
Facts

The Smith case Is being drawn out TO
great length, both sides rakng up every
thing at all likely to prove detrimental
to the opposition.
Mrs. Walker. the friend Of the land
lady of the boarding house who went
spying and found just what she went to
find, was again put upon the stand to
explain the circumstances surrounding
the giving of the certificate of eXonera-
tion to Mr.. Buchanan. She stated that
when she gave it she really didn't know
what was in it, and when she was chal
lenged by Mrs. Smith she told that lady
that in the cause of peace she would go
to all the roomers and tell them that she
had lied when she circulated the reports
regarding Buchanan and her. She told
Mrs. Smith, however that if the matter
ever came out she would stick to the
truth
Mrs. Smith, when she went upon the
stand, corroborated Mrs. Walker insofar
as the latter had volunteered to visit the
roomers and tell them that she had lied
in her statements. but denied that the
lady had ever said a word about doing it
in the interest of peace, or that under
certain circumstances she would adhere
to her first statement. The witness spe-
officially denied that she was in her room
on the evening when Mrs. Walker
claimed she was there with Buchanan.
On the contrary she went with Buchan
an, during the afternoon, to visit his
sister at Boyle heights, and returned at
about l o'clock. They sat in the room
for a short time, eating sandwiches
they brought in with them and drinking
a cup of chocolate. They then went out
for a walk and witness returned by her
self.
The defence then put forward a num-
ber of witnesses who testified to Bu-
chanan's character for truth, honesty
and integrity. In each instance it was
bad.
The case will again come up in depart
ment four on Monday morning.

THE TINES LIBEL.
Col. Blarton Duncan Unfortunate In
Failing to Get Damages.

Col Blanton Duncan is not "of for
tunes cap the very button" so far as
lawsuits are concerned
1t took the jury, empaneled in depart
ment five to try the case in which he
was plaintiff against the Times Mirror
company, just seven minutes to deter
mine that he had not been injured in
mind. body or estate to the extent of
$4,000 or any other amount, by the al
legged libelous dispatch which appeared
in the Times of June 10 of last year.
In helping the jury to arrive at this
conclusion the defense put in yesterday
the deposition of ]. p. Dunning. superin-
tendent OF the western division of the
territory operated by the Associated
Press. His testimony went to show th..
method of news gathering adopted by
the organizat ton where the particular dis
patch in question originated, and the re
liable nature of the news so brought to-
gether and disseminated over the coun-
try by the Associated Press.
Then portions of the transcript of suit

briefly. He stated that he saw the arti-
Gle in dispute only on the morning Of
its publication in the columns of the pa
per. On that same day he learned that
suit had been begun and he procured the
manifold copy of the dispatch The wit
ness gave details regarding the arrange
ment existing by virtue of which the
Times received the news service of the
Associated Press, and gave it as the re-
suit of his experience that such informa-
ton is almost without exception accur-
ate.

witness stand in order to prove that his
business had not been that of a lawyer
merely but that he had engaged IN the
