Indictment in the Knights of Labor
case and, in vigorous decision,
statedi that against such combines
as that alleged in the Indictment, the
injured individual is at great disad-
vantage, and requires the protection of
the law. The case Is against mem bers
Labor, who are charged with conspir-
ing to injure the business of local
tradesmsn, because he refused to build
triot of Columbia, and the court, in
overrulfng the demurrer, eaid a con-
spiracy to injure sis q misdemeauor at
common law, and indictable as such,"
and that by course of decision cover
ing 420 cases, the points are declared
settled, among others, that an indict-
ment will lie at common law for q
malicious conspiracy TO crush or ruin
q third person in his trade or profess
sion.
By the demurrer, all the facts, we'll
pleaded in the Indictment, were for It's
purposes admitted to be true. Not even
the slightest effort was made in argu-
ment to show that the combination and
conspiracy, and the acts in furtherance
of it, were lawful or defensible. The
attempt by the defendants, says the
court, to control and direct the plain
tiff, WAS inpertinent. arbitrary aud OPP

Bright and early this morning May.
or Msgoffin called at the Office of DIR.
Villas, president of the board Of health,
to have an understanding with him
concerning the Mexican now quaran-
tined on Fifth street, who was alleged
to be suffering for food.
The Mexican complsined to Consul

the mayor. The sick man, according
to the story, bad been locked In q room
and q guard placed over him. No one
was allowed to enter or leave the house
and the patient alleged that he was

be fed.
eff they place him incommunicado,"
said he, ''they must provide means for
bis subsistence. 1 think the man
should have been carried bodily to the
pest heuse whether he was willing or
not; but as long as he was not taken
there he must be fed"
DIR. RACES STATEMENT
DR.. Races statement in regard to
the matter, published in the morning
Times. was as follows:
"This evening Consul Mallen called
on Mayor MaROffin and told him that
we had quarsntined the wife and child
of the Mexican on Fifth street, in the
same room with him and that they
were suffering for something to eat.
The wife and child are not in the same
house with the smallpox case, but they
are in an adjoining house and
the woman is permitted to
90 about her business. As
to the man, If he prefers to starve to
going to the hospital, then he will
have to starve, for we are determined
to stamp out the smallpox and will not
endanger the whole community to
satisfy one pig-hesded man. We are
not going to brook any interference in
the discharge of our duty, no matter
who tries to interfere"
REMOVED TO THE PEST HOUSE.
DR.. Ysndell examined the city char
ter this morning after learning OF the
complaint that the Mexican was being
to death by his enforced isola-
tion.
He found that the charter gave alb
solute authority to the city to remove
persons affected with contagious
diseases to the pest house. After
learning this he ordered the pest house
wagon to report at the Mexican house
with John Connors and Q nurse to re-
move the man bodily If he resisted.
"We were not starving the man,"
said DR.. Yandell. "He was starving
himself. At the pest house he will be
