Suit Brought For a Stsry.

Atchison, Kan, Dec. 23-It is
generally believed that the case in
which Byron Gilbert, the seven year
old lawyer, won his first suit was
not bona fde litigation. The case
was brought by the New York
World to collect $40, said to be due
from an unknown person on sub
scription. The tupposition is that
the World brought the case as a
groundwork Of feature story In
its Sunday issue
Justice Casey, before whom the
case was brought, says the proceed
ings were in due form, but the un'
derstanding here Is that it was for
the purpose stated. Mitchell, the
defendant. is unknown here, and left
town Immediately after the trial.
