THE TIMES LIBEL
The Old Grind Gone Over Again in
the Brady Case

Owing to the continued illness Of Sem
ator Stephen M. White, there was a
probability of the case of Mrs. Mary
Brady against the Times-Mirror COM
pany being again continued. When the
case. was called in department three
yesterday morning, however, counsel for
the defense was insistent that the case
proceed, and Judge York continued the
further hearing merely to 2 o'clock in the
afternoon. At that hour the trial of the
case proceeded without Senator White
being present.
In very large measure the old routine
OF testimony. as presented on the three
previous trials, was gone over, the fol-
lowing witnesses going upon the stand
or having their depositions read: Fred
N. Hamilton, P. NJ Rainbow, Zella Great
house, Mrs. Mary Brady and Mrs. Jud-
son.
