KOHLs4ATs ROCKS Called FOR.
The Demand Followed ny Another Indict-
mrnt In His Libel Case.


CHICAGO. Dec ll.-In the libel suit NJ Her
man II. Kohlsaat. editor OF the Tunes Herald
against George W. Human. editor n-chief Of
the Inter- ocean. Martin b. Madden and
others, surprise was sprung in tho
criminal court this morning II came
In the form OF demand upon Mr.. Kohsaat to
bring his books Of account into court, and upon
his refusal to accede to 1t application was made
to the court for an order to compel him to
do 40. Tho reason set forth for this de-
mand was that an examin nation OF Mr.:
part OF the alleged libelious publication In
which Mr.. Kohsaat was referred to
as "A liar. "a dishonest business man.
"A scoundrel" "A deceitful man., IA reckless
its." IAN mpostor." n vulgar cheat" and in
which 1t was alleged he pursued career In
and dishonest"
In 10 AFFIDAVIT. on which BIZ, appeal to the
Mr.. Human says that Mr. Kohlsaat caused his
solicitors Of advertisements 20 represent
TO merchants that tho Times HTah had q
week day circulation Of from 10000
TO 5000 copies ~, snd d SUNDAY circulation OF
tlIinmanl behaves that the week day clrcula-
ton OF the Times Herald Ia and was not
greater than 80. 900 copies. and that OF the
Sunday Times Herald never exceeded $4,000
copies.
In consequence OF this application. the pros
ecution seems to have resolved upon a new
move. The first step was taken late this AZ
ternoon when new indictment was voted
against Mr.. Human alone based upon the en-
bezzlement charge alone The next step will
probably be motion TO duash the original in
dictment and thus prevent the bringing Of the
Times HrTdtdS real circulntions to light.
