Yesterdays election, which was a
very quiet one. resulted in the re-elec-
ton of Mayor William c. Baker by
plurality of 234O, which was a consider
able falling off from last year, when
he received plurality of S414. The vote
oolled was not heavy one, the total
for the ten wards being 1926, as
against 1924 last year. Mr.. Kimball,
the Republican nominee received 4S33
votes, but even on the Republican side
there was falling off from last year,
but it was not nearly as large as the
loss Of the Democrats.
Mr. Kimban carried the Seventh and
Eighth wards. This was not enough,

SUING FOR $4,000.
HamlItOn'S Suit for Libel Before Court
on Demurrer.
Defendants Claim Published Statements Did
Not Reflect on Plaintiff

Before Justices Stiness. Tnllnghast
and Rogers was heard today the case Of
Thomas ]. Hamilton VS.. NJ. j. Cum
mines and Providence Journal Co. on
the aefendants demurrer. The plaintiff
brought an action against the defend
ants to recover $4,000 damages for an
alegad libelous article that appeared in
one of the Journal company's publioa-
tons and dealt with the topography OF
Hamilton Place and the occupants OF
tenements there. Mr.. Cummings is
overseer of the poor and it is claimed
he went with the writer Of the article
an a tour of poor quarters in the city.
Rathbone Gardner appeared as coun-
sci for the defendants and argued that
the mart Of the article published on
which the libel was charged dealt only
y,itlb sbe interior condition Of the tene-
ments and not with any cflrges
against Mr.. Hamilton, the owner and
nroprletor OF the tenements.
The following is the language COM
nlained Of: "It Is sickening to penetrate
the interior of Hamilton place domi-
Giles. Foul smells fill the air, attacking
and often defeating the invader. The
living room is the kitchen and here the
entire family are huddled together
around the stove There IS an abund-
ance OF filth on every hand,-ashes,
swiu and cockroaches, droves Of the lat
ter"
lang,rage was as follows: Meaning the
eaid nremises OF the said plaintiff, and
,bat the said plaintiff allowed the said
Hamilton place and the buildings there
on to be in such a state OF Nth and un-
; cleanness that il was UNIT for habita-
ton. and therefore common nui-
sance."
cation unexplained by the innuendo Il
NOT defamatory and casts no reflection
unon the plaintiff as the owner OF
houses i'm Hamilton place. but solely up
on the nersons who inhabit these
houses and that the language COM
nlained of was not capable of being in
terpreted as referring 10 the plaintiff in
the manner in which the innuendo seeks

co,,ld not affect the landlord as his duty
a authority extends merely 10 the

the article and there is no reflection up

p. II. Mulholland, counsel for the
I nlainfIff argued the aTU1C1e p1T1Hfy fU'

Accused Of Fatally StahbIng His Wife at
the Home Of Her Parents
HE PRETENDED TO EMBRACE HER.

The trial of Simon Massell for the
murder of Julia Massell, his wife, was
begun in Judge Wilburs court this af-
ternoon. Massell on the third day of

loud clear voice mot guilty" At the
opening of the case the prisoner was
very nervous. He is defended by Col.
Charles j. Arms and Attorney General
Tanner is conducting the prosecution.
Mrs. Massell was living with her par
ents on Gay street and her husband
went to see her on April 81 and tyied
to get her TO come back to live with
him. She refused TO do so and AIassell
caught hold OF her as If TO embrace her
and il is claimed then stabbed her.
There had been trouble between Mr..
and Mrs. Massell and the case caused
considerable comment at the time ow
ing to the unusual features, but that
the matter had quickly passed out of
the minds OF some persons was evil
dent by the ease with which jury was

had read the newspaper accounts of the
case, but none had formed any opinion
nor did they remember the facts OF the
case.
