Coop morning.
| conference.

A conference.
The gang of seven are already showing
that they are not pleased with the thought
Of Bogg's return.
They realize the fact that one word
from the m ,uth Of the fiu ting teller
will necessitate a hurried exit, on their
part, from the arena over which they
have been masters.
A Conference. The seven met. What
was their talk?
On Wednesday night the leaders
among the seven gathered together at the
Clayton House in this city and the even
ing was spent in reviewing the past and
endea voring to outline plan of action
for the future.
The boss man-tle man with 'pulr'
was there.
lie had his consulting lawer from
Dover with him. The conference also
requested and was honored bv, the
presence OF one who poses before the
law AZ an authority on civil law and,
naturally enough, in his position, should
bc.
They talked OF libel suits.
They said that THE Sun, which has
published statements in regard to Boggs
and his accomplces, must be sued for
criminal libel.
These men are not all connected with
the bank No one would think that
these men were interested in stories pub
lishcd about the affair.
Then why are they comforting about
the institution # libel suits?
The man who first enters suit stands Il
self-cOniesscd thief.
In event Of a libel >ui; the lir>,-thr
most natural step bi the d'lcn>r would
bc to have the books of the Farmers
Bank and ut the Fins, National Bank II
Dover brought into the court. This
would bc dpnr So that the statements
made in tn" puDH"ati,u- could T." proven
true.

William \. BpggS j. coming back. lie
will apurar before the United state,
Court for trial. A pronne 1t member
Of the Tar said yesterday, in speaking Of
BOggs return. that he was convinced
that il the missing bank teller, upon his
return pleads guilty, valves trial by
jury, and throws himself on the mercy
Of the court, he will nevertheless be al
lowed to tell all his story.
Continuing the lawyer said that the
effect Of Boggs' expose would be ccctri-
cal. That the words Of the dciaultcr
would generate Il current Of prosecution
that would be deadly to bis accomplicc>
in crime. 1t was lis opinion that the
truth would compel the gang Of seven to
enter the in,VIcrablc condition oi life
which Bugg$ has experienced for many
months.
The lawyer has ruck Inc right chord.
Othcrs beside tn" YanG Of seven now

Implicit confidence can bc placed in
the Superior Court, that a libel suit will
