THE CASE POSTPONED.
Another Day Set for Trial of DR..
BOIcler.

When the case of Dr. w. C. Boteler
charged with libel in publishing an article
in the North American Medical Review rel
alive to a Philadelphia medicine company
was called today before Judge Kimball
the defendant was not present.
Mr.. Tracy L. Jeffords, counsel for Dr.
Boteler, said his client had been suddenly
called to the bedside of his father at Mid
dletown, Nd, the latter being seventy-six
years of age. paralytic and supposed to
be dying. Mr.. Jeffords submitted to the
court a telegram from DR.. Boteler's sister
conveying the information concerning the
illness of the father.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Baker, who
had come into court expecting to try the
case, said he was utterly amazed to find
that Dr. BCteier was not present. He had
he said, done everything reasonable to ac-
commCdate the defense in the matter; the
hearing had been continued several times,
either at the request of Dr. Boteer or his
attorney, Mr.. Jeffords; besides which he

Baker proceeded to say that he regarded
the action of DR.. Boteler as bad faith on
his part, and asked that an attachment be
issued for him. He had also been informed
he said. that counsel for the defense had
asserted that he intended to put the gov
eminent to as much trouble as possible in
the matter.
IIr. Jeffords resisted Mr.. Bakers sugges-
ton that an attachment be issued for Dr.

tened gentleman of ability, property
owner who was greatly annoyed by having
to defend the charge of libel for which he
said there was no. foundation, and he
claimed that DR.. Boteler was being perse-
cuted. Counsel for the company had, he
said, called on MIN and offered to settle
the case out Of court, to which he had re-
piled that he would be willing, but that at
the same time they had informed him they
had authority to bind their client, the
Philadelphia company. until after CONSUL
tation. Later, counsel for the company
had called to see him and stated that they
did not propose to compromise, but to fight.
and to this he had answe cred: :" All right; /
will give you all the trouble l cam and l
say low l intend to do So.
Judge Kimball said that the statement
made by Mr.. Jeffords that DR.. Boteler had
gone to see his dying father appealed to
him. and he was willing to do what he
could to oblige the defense. He suggested
that counsel on both sides agree as to a
day for the hearing.
After some consultation between Messrs.
Baker and Jeffords, it was decided to post
pCne further proceedings in the matter for
one week.
