DONAHOE LIBEL
CASE ON TRIAL
EX-Representative Asks S25,-
900 Damages From Star
Publishing Company
HIS WAR RECORD WAS ATTACKED

In the Superior Court this morning
the case of John P. Donahoe VS.. the
Star Publishing Company, was called
for trial and it will probably take sew
eral days, as there are a large number
of witnesses to be examined on both
sides. 1t is an action for libel the plain
tiff alleging that his character was in
jured by certain articles printed in the
Star, a paper published by the de-
fendant company. The amount of dam
ages asked for is $4,000.
William S. Hilles is counsel for the
plaintiff and Victor B. Woolley and j.
Harvey Whiteman represent the de-
fendant.
Mr.. Hilles, in his opening address TO
the jury said that the plaintiff was a
Representative to the Legislature and
was a candidate for denomination in
1900. On September 2, 1900, an ar
ticle he said appeared in the Star which
charged Mr.. Donahoe with grave Of
fenses against the laws of this State
These articles he said were continued
from week to week. He said that he
would endeavor to prove that the ar
ticles were actuated by personal malice
on behalf of the editor against Mr. DON
ahoe.
Mr.. Donahoe and several other wit
nesses weer examined.

SKATING is GOOD HERE
Lakes in the Parks Covered BY Five
Inches Of Good Ice.

Many people are enjoying the good
skating at Brandywine Springs and
Shellpot Parks. but the car service could
be improved. AT The former place
much trouble was experienced at the
previous freeze from lack of cars by
the Peoples railway. who did not seem
to cater to the skaters wants at all. It
was not an unusual thing for people to
wait an hour for car TO get home. the
crowds being so great that they would
swarm upon the cars before they were
stopped, and even though one was for
tunate enough to get on the crowd was
so big that comfort was impossible. 1t
is hoped the company will look after the
interests ofdhe hundreds Of people who
go to tho park to skate IN better man

HORSES SHOULD Be ROUGH SHOD
Slippery Condition Of the City Streets
Makes II Dangerous for
Beasts Of Burden,

There is much criticism on horse
owners because OF the many horses
that are seen on the streets without
roughened shoes. AS the streets are in
such a slippery condition and indica-
tions are that they will remain that
way for several days. Il Is argued that
IL is cruel TO drive a horse along the
streets without being rough shod. Mem
bers OF the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals have commented
on the matter and think that persons
who own horses, for their own as well
as the animals protection they should
be rough shod, whenever the streets OF
the city get in such a bad condition
The fact that there are many hills IN
Wilmington makes IL much more diff
cult for the horses To keep from falling

NO EVIDENCE AGAINST THEM
Two Witnesses Testify That Malerosa
Attempted to Pass Bogus Dollars.
Defendant on the Stand When Ad-
journment Was Made.

Journment Was Made.
The trial of Biagio Malerosa, his
wife Saba and Nicola DePace, charged
with counterfeiting money was resumed
in United States Court this morning.
George A. Blair, of No. 600 Pine stret,
was the first witness and testified that
he was a bartender. During the latter
part of August last year. Malerosa ten
dered the witness a silver dollar in pay
ment for a drink which the latter re-
fused to accept believing it to be from
appearances a counterfeit coin. Male
rosa then took the dollar and put it in
his pocket.
In cross-examination the witness told
j. Frank Ball. counsel for the defense.
that he never had much experience with
counterfeit money but thought he had
enough experience with good money to
know counterfeit money when he saw
it,
John Decillis deposed that he was
with Malerosa on the day the latter at
tempted to pass bogus dOllans upon
Blair and conductor on the Whining
ton and New Castle railway named
Montgomery.
Secret Service Agent u. NJ. Griffin
testified that on December 8. 1902, he
/ directed that Tony Julian, OF Norris
town, be shadowed and the raid made
in that city and Wilmington last Jan
uary resulted from the investigation
made at that time. On the night of the
day the raid was made the witness saw
Malerosa in the police station and
asked him about a box containing a
quantity of copper wire which the lat
ter shipped to NorristOwn. Malerosa
admitted that he. shipped the box 70
Julian on December %, 1902. and John
P. Decillis, upon being recalled to the
stand deposed that he acted as in.
terpreter in the conversation held be.
tween Mr.. Griffin and Malerosa. The
latter corroborated the testimony oD
the secret service agent. Nicola De.
Pace admitted to Mr. Griffin that h,
saw Malerosa pack the box which was
sent to Julian and it contained the cop
per wire which the former saw.
At this point the Government rested
and Mr.. Ball asked the court to instruct
the jury to return a verdict of not guilty
in regard TO Saba Malerosa and Nicola
DePace, as no evidence had been pro
duced to directly connect them with the
crime.
Judge Bradford said that he regarded
the case of DePace and Saba Malerosa
and Biagio Malerosa in different lights
and could not, if he was a member oi
the jury conscientiously return a ver-
dict of guilty against the two former
defendants.
At the time of adjournment at
O'Clock Biagio Malerosa was on The
stand testifying in his own defense.

UNIONS AND DEMOCRATS
BOTH HAVING TROUBLE
Story That Three Bi9gs
Men Defeated the EIcc-
ton of a Regular Re
publican and Demo
cratic Senator

The stories coming from Democratic
members Of the Legislature TO the effect
that the Regular Republicans have
never been in a position to accept the
proffer of the Democrats to break the
deadlock and elect one Democrat and
one Republican are denied. The de-
nial comes from several sources but the
authors will not allow their names to be
used at this time.
Yesterday from a well authenticated
source, It was reported that on Monday
two weeks ago, a committee of the Reg
ular Republicans held a conference
with the Democrats and offered to vote
for either Former Governor Ebe w.
Tunnell of Lewes; DIR. John j. Black,
OF New Castle, or J. Harvey Whteman,
of this city, providing that the Demo-
Gratis vote for a Regular Republican.
Six Republicans, it is understood, had
signed their names to paper 10 carry
out the program. All that was needed
was the cooperation of the Democrats
TO consummate the deal
According to the story, Willard Sauls-
bury and ex-senator Kenney had given
their consent to the men in their con-
troll 10 vote for either OF the three Dem
ocrats and the Regular. The election
would have taken place. it is said, had
not the Biggs men, Representatives
Rose. Hart and Hughes refused 10 be
party to any deal which did not in
clude Mr.. Biggs. This puts different
light on the situation and makes it Rp-
near ne If the Democrats were not aa
willing to defeat Addicks and break the
deadlock as they have been protesting.
