THE LIBEL CASE.
The jury Retired Yesterday Aneinoon--A
senled verdict To-dny.

Special TO EVENING HERALD.
PorrsvILLE, May l3 The case Of William
Wilhelm. charged with libel ON oatu Of II.
II. Koch, was given to the jury late yester-
day afternoon. There were only a few
witnesses heard Yesterday, among them
Judge o. p. Bechtel, l.. b. Walker. f. II.
Treat G. p. King and Sheridan schall.
Nothing of importance was brought out by
the examination of these witnesses Most of
the time was occupied by the counsel in
arguments ON points Of law
Il. H. Koch was recalled just before the
case closed and testified concerning Will
helms claim against the sehuylknl Electric
Railway Company. He overheard Mr..
Wilhelm tell Mr. Treat at the power house
one day that the Barretts owned him 81 600
for getting the right of way ia Miuervile.
The witness was asked whether or not he
drew up the indictment, but refused to
answer.
John o. Ulrch addressed the jury for the
defense and was followed by John i. Whaleu
for the prosecution. Judge Archibald charged
the jury, and stated that the court had erred
when it was ruled that letter TO a debtor
was not privileged communication. 1t was
privileged but it was the jury to decide
whether it was in this case
The jury reached a verdict at o'clock
last evening, after court adjourned, and
brought it in this morning They found the
defendant not guilty, but placed the costs
upon him. This is considered quite victory
for Wilhelm.

A WIDOW SCHOOL GIRL.

A letter from Comorn, King George
county. says: Some time ago pretty
little King George girl of Is summers
and pupil in one of the public schools
of the county, went to Washington 10
remain indefinitely with a prominent
family OF tha. city. Soon the lady Of
;he house died, aud this King George
lassie assumed charge of the bereaved
husbands housekeeping and domestic
nf1ars. Az time healed the wounded
heart the old gen emau's affections
centered upon the girl, ard finally the
60 year old widower and the l5 year old
girl btcsme man and WIFE The "happy
pail" occupied that cosey CITY home,
ohlivious of the "hard times" and pinch
ing poverty which fall to the
lot Of so many mortals here
below, until death again entered,
this time claiming the husband
ID leaving the King Georgian o
widow in pcr teens. Thus 'alone in
the world" and unwilinel, freed from
the cares and responsibilities of fam
lily, her mind wandered back to her
native heath, and her young heart
yearned to resume her childhood joys
and school days III the country. Max.
ing partial settlement Of her deceased
husbands estate rs speedily as possible,
she returned TO this county, collected
together her school books, &c, and re-
entered school The possessor Of a
handsome competency in the shape of
an enviabe bank account and city
property, this little girl widow is in
daily attendance upon Public School,
No. :, and the pretty little lassie who
attended t',nt school so snort u time
ago is one aud the same inGividual-but
now the school girl of all school girls
the most observed. Thus another most
romance has passed to the
credit of old King George, and it may
be added that but few incidents in re.
cent years ever awakened deeper in
terest or elected more general COM
ment.
