KoHLsAAT's MOTION DENIED.
Can't Force the Inter Oceans Editor to
 Disclose His Defense.

Chicago, Dec. 21.-Judge Baker has denied the motion of the prosecution in
 the criminal libel suit against George w. Hinman and others to compel them
 to furnish a bill of particulars as to
 the nature of the evidence they will present in justification of the publica-
 ton complained of. The case is the i one in which Mir. Hinman, as editor of the Inter Ocean, is accused of having
 ibeled H. H. Kohlsaat, publisher of the
 Chicago Times-Herald and Chicago
 Evening Post.
 In denying the prosecution's motion Judge Baker said: Tt is the duty of
 the prosecution to show the guilt of a defendant beyond a reasonable doubt.
 I can find no authority for granting the motion. If I granted it the pro
 ceeding would be unprecedented. Even if the defendants came to the bar of
 this court and stood mute I could not compel them to plead guilty to charges against them. 1 could, in such a case, order a plea of not guilty to be entered, so that the evidence might be heard.
 But a defendant is not required even
 to testify in his own behalf. He need not go on the witness stand at all. He
 may remain mute during the whole
 trial. As I said before, it is the duty
 of the prosecution under the law to es- tablish the guilt of the accused beyond all reasonable doubt. I shall have to deny the notion
