(Crim., No. 394 = Department Two
Filed September TO- 1889
People, respondent; w. w. Miller, ap-
pellant. Libel. Affirmed.
Editorship or proprietorship of a
newspaper is not the corpus delicti in a
criminal prosecution for libel. The es-
sence of the crime is the malicious pub
lication of the libelous language and
does not necessarily be in the author
ship of the article or the ownership of
the press that prints it.
The term confessions" is restricted
to acknowledgment of guilt.
An admission of a fact, not in itself
involving criminal intent, is not 10 be
respected as evidence (without the pre-
liminary PROOF merely because it may,
when connected with other facts, tend
to establish guilt.
In the prosecution for libel Of the
proprietor of newspaper it is not nee
essary to prove. that the defendant per-
sonally wrote or printed the article, nor
that he with his own hands or by his
personal direction circulated it. 1t is
sufficient to show that the defendant
knowingly parted with the immediate
custody of the paper containing the
libel, under circumstances which eX-
posed it to be read or seen by any other
person than himself

SUPERINTENDENT BLACK.

Normal School.

State Superintendent of Public In
struction Samuel T. Black was yester-
day elected President of the new State
Normal School at San Diego by the
joint meeting Of State Normal Boards
which assembled at the Governors Of
fice
There were present at the meeting
Governor Budd, Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction. S. T. Black, c. M. Rit-
ter, President, and E. Graham, George
+. Harvey and Charles A. Reynolds,
Trustees of the Chico State Normal
School; Edward T. Pierce President.
and Percy r. Wilson, T. p Lukins and
j. Marion Brooks, Trustees of the Los
Angeles Normal School; Professor A.

nolt, James M. Pitman and Colonel j.
t. Doolittle, Trustees of the San Jose
Normal School, and Thomas o. Toland,
w. r. Guy and Charles T. Hinde,
trustees of the new State Normal
School at San Diego.
The meeting was executive through
out, and While speculation was rife as
TO who would be elected President OF
the new institution of learning, it was
conceded by those on the inside that
Mr.. Blacks chances were par excel
lent, owing to the fact that the three
San Diego Trustees were unable to set
tie on a candidate. 1t was the old
story of "a house divided against
ITSELF
After a long consultation by the
board, Mr.. Black was elected by ac-
clamation, and received the cOngratu-
lation of his many friends. Mr.. Black
considers the Presidency of the Nor
NAL as a promotion for past labors
creditably performed. His salary will
be 3,4OO per year, and will begin Oc-
tober 1st.

GETS OFF EASY.
Negro Hayes Found Guilty Of Sim.
pie Battery.

| Rice Hayes, negro livery stable
keeper, was yesterday convicted of bat
terry on the person of Mabel Sim bin, a
sixteen-year- girl, and will be sem
| fenced this morning.
| The evidence did not vary from the
| account published in the Record
Union" just prior to Hayes arrest.
When he took the stand in his own be-
half Hayes made no specific denials,
except that he did not tear the girls
dress from her, and that he did not lay
violent hands on her
The testimony for the prosecution
showed that Mabel Gimblin, Mrs. Gill
bert, her half-sister and IVA Stroup
went out riding with John Slack and
Billy keniff, to have "a good time. .
Hayes went along, ostensibly as driver,
but proved to be the leader of the
gang. He occupied the front seat With
| the Gimblin girl and took liberties
| with her in the face of hec protesua-
tlons. The women three times Jumped
from the vehicle, but were induced to
return. AT one time they ran tc a
rancher'S house, aroused the housewife
and told her they We're being maltreat-
ed by the men in the buggy. Hayes
hustled them back into the buggy and
| finally drove them back to town.
In giving his testimony Hayes said it
had been settled before the start that
the Gimblin girl was to ride with him.
The two women behind were sitting on
the laps of the men, and he. feeling
| lonesome, put his arm around the Gim-
| blin girls waist.
| A great part of the testimony was of
such a. nature as to prevent it's publi-
| cation. 1t is fortunate for Hayes his
| offense was not committed down South.
