LIBEL CASE NOT OVER YET
Miss Frissell Refuses to Accept Amount
N Awarded by Court.
FORMER ATTORNEYS ASK TO INTERVIEW
Plaintiff Files an Answer Which
Denies All Allegations of Petition
In Intervention and Announces
Willingness to Fight.

In the case Of Agnes Frizzell against
Joseph c. Root and others a petition Of in
terVention has been hled by ]. c. Gown
and E. ". Simeral, who were the attorneys
Of Miss Frizzell in the original case, which
was tried in the United States court at the
November term. In this case there was
rendered a judgment in favor Of the plaintiff
for $4,000, the largest amount ever
awarded n plaintiff In a libel suit in the
state Of Nebraska.
Subsequent to that trial the defendant
hled a motion for a new trial and on the
hearing OF arguments on that : motion
Judge Munger entered an order requiring
the plaintiff to file a remittitur, reducing
the amount Of damages recovered from
$4,000 to $4,000, falling which he would en-
ter an order for a new trial. At this point,
according to the petition OF Intervention
Med, the present proceedings originated.
General Gown In his petition states that
he advised his client, Miss FrizzelI,
to sign the remittitur, and upon her refusal
he signed one as her attorney. which re-
mittitur ID now on file in the case. The
difference of opinion between the attorney
and the client resulted in the client at
tempting to discharge the attorney, who
refuses to be dismissed. In his petition
ioF hteFfenllOnt ne states tnat Wnen he
was engaged to enter the case 1t was
with the understanding that he was not
only to receive one-half Of the amount
recovered from the defendants. but that
one-half OF the claim was assigned to
him. making him a plaintiff as we'll as
an attorney; that he was empowered to
conduct the proceedings without consult
ing his client. and was to have plenary
powers in the suit, Miss Frizzell waving
all rights during the tendency OF the &C
tion; that the attempt of the plaintiff "a
discharge him is for the purpose Of cheat
ing him out OF his contingent fee, or the
moiety OF the amount recovered.
The answer to this petition in interven-
tion was prepared by MAs FriLzell herself
although filed by Smyth & Smith. II de-
MES every allegation Of the petition and
says that General Gown not only advised
her to sign the remittitur. but hat he be

Senator Willard received a letter yester-
day from J. knox Taylor, supervising
architect of the treasury. in reference TO
the time work is to begin on the contem-
plated public building at Norfolk, for which
the lete session OF congress appropriated
500 COO. largely through the efforts of SEN
ator Millard. The architect advised tue
senator that his ONCE would at once make
sketch plans for the approval of the cabinet

In the spring Of 1908.
Senator Willard was also advised that his
request for a change Of schedule for carry
Ing the malls from Creighton to Center,

Assistant City Attorney Coin stated yes
terday afternoon that the liquor dealers
would be prosecuted under the city ordi-
nance governing the sale Of liquors in
stead Of under the statutes. He says that
this will be done for the reason that the
ordinance is much broader. Under the
statutes II must be proven that liquor was
actually sold, while under the ordinance
all that is necessary is to prove that a
saloon was open. Another reason is that
any fine that the police Judge may impose

lions follow the hearing, while IL tried I'M
