A circuit court of Ohio has handed
down a decision ia suit brought by
the National Tube Co. Of Pittsburg vs.
the Eastern Tube Co of GAINESVILLE,
which is national in its import and one
of the most sweeping of its kind ever
rendered by a higher court. The
court, in substance, held that man s
| intellect is not trade secret, and he
cannot be enjoined from using his
brains, even if by so doing he should
work an irreparable injury TO someone
| else.
whatever sympathy there was for
Mrs. Kate Soffel has largely disappear
| ed, and the public has realized that her
mistaken and misdirected zeal i'll behalf
of the Bddle boys entities her to no
consideration, and but little lenlency at
the bar of Justice" So spoke John e.
Haymaker, District Attorney for Allie
gheny county, at Denver, Saturday.
The first thing | do when l get back
home will be TO try Mrs. Sotfel. L shall
try her on the charge of aiding prisoners
to escape, because the penalty for that
crime is greater than for the others. l
shall convict her, of course. There is
no escape for her, and l shall send her
other charges l will cause to be dismiss
ed. Dorman turned States evidence.
He will be convicted of murder in the
first degree. | shall have him sentenced
to be hanged, and then l will intercede
with the Governor and secure for him
commutation, life sentence, perhaps.
Within the last 10 years. or since the
death of Father Henrici, the Harmony
Society of Economy has been often
prominently in the public eye Just
now it is occupying place OF greater
prominence than ever before. for its at
fairs are in the hands of the United
States supreme court. A decision will
soon be rendered by that highest tri-
bunal which will either continue the
society as strong, RICH unity, or lead
to its dissolution. The pow er of Senior
Trustee Duss is trembling in the bal
ance The suit on which this decision
is to be rendered is that of Schwartz
against the Harmony society, John s
Duss and others. Schwartz and his as
sociate plaintiffs pray for the appoint
ment of receiver for the society and a
distribution of its assets among the
present members and Schwartz and
others who went out of the society
some years ago.
The Biddle case was in court at Pitts
burg, Monday, in manner not expect
ed. Christ r. Weller was an applicant
for a license for his place out the
Perrysville road, and it was there that
the Biddles and Mrs. Soffel stopped on
the night of January 80, after the escape
of the morning before Weller was
very closely questioned by both Judge
Frazer and Rodgers about the visit. He
told of how Edward Biddle purchased
six sandwiches, and was little sur
prised when asked about the bottle of
whisky which was sold after hours. He
explained the sale by saying he did not
think it any harm in view of the long
Journey before the visitor. Weller
claimed not to have known. of the visit
of John Biddle and Mrs Soffel until the
following morning, when, he said, his
wife told him.
